Chicken Drumsticks

Chicken Drumsticks

Chicken Drumsticks















Ingredients
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp basil
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp white pepper (if you don't have it, just substitute black pepper)
1 tsp cayenne pepper
4 1/2 tsp paprika
2 1/2 tsp salt


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a jelly roll pan with nonstick spray.

2. Line up drumsticks on the prepared tray.

3. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning on both sides. Leave the side with the most meat and skin facing up.

4. Put a dab of about 1/2 tablespoon butter on the top of each drumstick, on the part that is most meaty. The butter will melt all over the meat and skin, keeping the meat juicy, and making the skin crispy.

Spatchcock rosted chicken

Spatchcock chicken
Spatchcock chicken
Spatchcock pri-pri chicken










Ingredients

  • 1 chicken (about 1.5 kg/3 lb 5 oz)
  • 4 red chilies , chopped (deseeded if you don't like it too spicy)
  • 3 garlic cloves , crushed
  • 2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • lemon wedges and Tabasco sauce (optional), to serve
Method
  1. To spatchcock the chicken, flip it over so the backbone is facing you. Using a sturdy pair of kitchen scissors or poultry scissors, cut down either side of the backbone, then discard. Turn the chicken over and push down firmly on the breastbone to flatten out the bird. Make a few slashes in each leg joint. You can watch a video showing how to spatchcock a chicken in the How To Cook section of the website).
  2. Put the chilies and garlic in a food processor with a good pinch of salt, or use a pestle and mortar. Blend to a paste, then add the paprika, vinegar, parsley and olive oil. Mix well, then smear over the chicken. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight if possible. Can be frozen at this stage.
  3. Fire up the barbecue. When the flames have died down, place the chicken on the center of the barbecue, skin-side down, and cook for 15-20 mins until nicely charred. Flip the chicken over and continue cooking for another 5-15 mins until cooked through. Check that the juices run clear, as the heat of every barbecue will vary. To cook in the oven, heat to 200 C/180 C fan/gas 6 and cook for 35-40 mins on a baking tray. To char the skin, grill for a further 5-10 mins. Serve with lemon wedges, and Tabasco if you like it hot.

Lamb shank pea and mint pie

Lamb shank pea & mint pie

Lamb shank pea and mint pie
Lamb shank pea and mint pie

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sunflower or rapeseed oil
  • 4-5 lamb shanks
  • 2 onions , chopped
  • 2 rosemary sprigs, leaves finely chopped
  • 2 thyme sprigs
  • 300 ml white wine
  • 1½l good-quality chicken stock
  • 25 g butter
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 250 g frozen peas
  • 5 spring onions , finely chopped
  • small bunch parsley , finely chopped
  • small bunch mint , finely chopped
  • 1 egg , beaten
  • 400 g plain flour , plus a little extra for dusting
  • 100 g butter , diced
  • 100 g suet
Method
  1. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the lamb shanks well all over (you may need to do this in batches). Transfer the lamb to a plate. Reduce the heat, tip the onions into the dish and gently soften, adding a splash more oil if you need to. Stir in the rosemary for the final 1 min, then add the thyme and wine. Bring to a fierce simmer, scraping all the lamb bits off the bottom of the dish as you go - these will add lots of flavor  When the wine has boiled for 1 min, add the stock, return the shanks and any juices, and gently bring to a simmer. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat a little and cook until the meat is very tender and falling from the bone - this can take 2-3 hrs. Leave until cool enough to handle. Can be done 24 hrs ahead, covered and chilled, or frozen for up to a month.
  2. Lift the shanks out of the stock (at this stage you can spoon off any fat that has separated to the surface). Gently pull the meat off the bones in nice big chunks, discarding any fatty bits, and put in a pie dish - about 30 x 20 cm and 5 cm deep will be big enough.
  3. Put the stock back on the heat and boil fiercely until reduced by just under half. Meanwhile, in a big frying pan, melt the butter, then stir in the flour to a paste and cook for 1-2 mins. Gradually whisk in ladlefuls of the reduced stock until you have a smooth sauce. Bubble for a few mins to thicken up nicely (the sauce will thin a little when cooked in the pie). Taste for seasoning, then tip over the lamb.
  4. To make the pastry, put the flour, butter, suet and 1 tsp salt in a food processor, and whiz together until no lumps of fat remain. With the motor running, gradually pour in 150 ml water to bring the pastry together - you may need 1 tsp more water. Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and gently bring together to a smooth dough, then roll out until just over 0.5 cm thick.
  5. Add the frozen peas, spring onions, parsley and mint to the lamb, and gently mix to combine. Brush the rim of the dish with a little egg, then cut thin strips of pastry and stick them on the rim, like a picture frame. Lift the rest of the pastry onto the pie and press down to the edges to stick. Trim the excess and crimp the edges to seal well. Make a small cross in the center with a knife to help steam escape, and roll the trimmings into leaves, if you like. Stick these all over the pie, again using egg, to decorate. Can now be chilled for another 24 hrs or frozen for up to a month.
  6. Heat oven to 200 C/180 C fan/gas 6. Brush the whole pie with more egg, then bake for 40-45 mins until really golden and crisp.

Sticky citrus sponge cake
Sticky citrus sponge cake











Ingredients

  • 4 medium oranges
  • 6 tbsp golden syrup , plus extra to serve, optional
  • 200 g butter , at room temperature, plus extra for greasing
  • 200 g soft brown sugar
  • 200 g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 100 g ground almonds
  • 4 large eggs
Method
  1. Heat oven to 180 C/160 C fan/gas 4. Finely grate the zest from 2 oranges into a large bowl. Cut the peel and pith from all the oranges with a serrated knife, and slice quite thickly.
  2. Drizzle the golden syrup evenly over the base of a greased 23cm round cake tin. There is no need to line the tin and it shouldn't have a loose bottom otherwise the syrup will bubble through. Arrange the best orange slices on top of the syrup and finely chop any that don't fit.
  3. Put all the remaining ingredients in the bowl with the zest and chopped orange. Beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Spoon on top of the oranges, spread lightly and make a deep hollow in the centre of the mix with the back of a spoon - this will ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  4. Bake for 45-50 mins until firm when pressed. Allow to settle for 5 mins before turning out. Drizzle with golden syrup if you like, and serve with custard or ice cream.

Bitter orange & poppy seed cake


Bitter orange & poppy seed cake

Bitter orange and poppy seed cake
Bitter orange and poppy seed cake

















Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp good-quality thick marmalade (we used Frank Cooper's Thick Cut Oxford marmalade)
  • 150 g pot natural bio yogurt
  • 3 eggs
  • 175 g golden caster sugar
  • 200 g self-raising flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 175 g butter , softened
  • zest 1 orange
  • 2 tsp poppy seeds , toasted
  • juice ½ orange
  • 5 tbsp marmalade
Method
  1. Heat oven to 160 C/fan 140 C/gas 3. Butter a deep, medium-sized loaf tin (about 20 x 10 cm, measured from the top), then line the base with a rectangle of non-stick baking paper. Put the marmalade into a small pan, heat gently until melted (or use a microwave proof jug or bowl, then cook on High for 30 secs). Beat in the yogurt, then let cool for a few mins.
  2. Put the remaining cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk until smooth. Quickly beat in the yogurt and marmalade mix, then pour into the prepared tin. It will be quite runny. Leave the mix mounded in the middle of the tin rather than leveling the top, to help it rise and crack in the middle.
  3. Bake for 1 hr-1 hr 10 mins until golden and well-risen; a skewer should come out clean. Take a look at the cake after 45 mins; if it has taken on a lot of color  loosely cover with baking paper. Meanwhile, heat the orange juice and marmalade in a small pan over a gentle heat until the marmalade melts (or use the microwave as before). Set aside to cool, stirring now and again, until you have a thick, but still runny, glaze. When the cake is ready, cool in the tin for 10 mins, then turn onto a rack. Spoon the topping over the cake while it's just warm. The cake is best served the day it's made, but will keep for up to 3 days tightly wrapped in an airtight container. Will freeze for up to 1 month, un-glazed.

100 g golden caster sugar
grated zest of 1 orange
1 tbsp strawberry conserve
2 eggs , separated

rose cake

English rose cake

Rose Cake

Ingredients

350 g butter , softened
500 g golden caster sugar
6 large eggs
200 g full-fat natural yogurt
500 g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp rosewater
140 g golden caster sugar
1-2 tsp rosewater (depending on your taste)
85 g raspberries , defrosted if frozen, plus 100 g to decorate
250 g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
300 ml double cream
rose petal pieces and crystallized rose petals (see step-by-step, above), to decorate
Method
  1. Heat oven to 160 C/140 C fan/gas 3. Grease and line the base and sides of 3 x 20 cm round loose-bottomed cake tins with baking parchment. Tip all the ingredients for the cake into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until well combined. Divide the mixture between the 3 cake tins and smooth the tops. Bake for 45 mins, swapping the tins halfway through so they cook evenly. Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tins, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. To make the rose syrup, put the sugar in a pan with 100 ml water and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and bubble for 1-2 mins, then remove from the heat. Add the rose water: start with 1 tsp and taste, as some varieties are much stronger than others - just be careful as the syrup will be really hot. Spoon half the syrup over the 3 sponges and set aside.
  3. Add 2 tbsp of the syrup to the raspberries and crush them with a fork. Push the raspberries through a sieve into a bowl and discard the seeds. Sift in the icing sugar and mix to a smooth icing. In a second bowl, add another 2 tbsp of the syrup and the vanilla to the cream and whisk until it holds soft peaks. Chill until needed.
  4. To assemble, place one cake, flat-side up, on a plate or cake stand, and top with half the cream and a third of the remaining raspberries (see tips, below). Sandwich another cake on top and add the remaining cream, another third of the raspberries, then the last cake. Smooth the raspberry icing over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides. To decorate, we used a mixture of rose petal pieces (available from cook shops or online), homemade crystallized rose petals (see step-by-step, above) and the reserved raspberries.
