After the excesses of Christmas, I quite often want something with plenty of flavour but that is perhaps not too substantial
Pork
Sauté Scallops, Sweet Potato and Coriander Purée with braised Chorizo
This recipe is a marriage made in heaven, sweet pan-seared scallops, a lightly spiced, well-seasoned sweet potato purée and pungent rich braised Chorizo sausage. This is warming indulgent dish ideal on a crisp cold winters day.
World Apple Day – Jersey Black Butter Ham
The finished product is a sweet, dark, sticky spread which you can eat with a salty cheese or perhaps as an alternative to jam with a scone but my favourite is as a glaze on baked ham.
Bacon Jam, National Toast Day and the Best Ever Hangover Cure
It is National Toast Day so I want to share with you one of my favourite recipes. When you read the title, you might think I’ve lost the plot ( again ) but there is definitely something very, very moreish about the combination of sweet onion, salty bacon with just a tickle of chilli heat.
