Cooking this dish was a revelation. Cooking at a low temperature helps keep all the flavours in the sauce. However, it will take a little time, and please don’t try to rush it, as your kitchen will be filled with the most delicious, hunger-inducing aromas. Be patient; it’s absolutely worth the wait
Sauces
Smoked Haddock and Poached Egg with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas, and a Beurre Blanc
Smoked Haddock and poached Egg with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas, and a Beurre Blanc. There is a certain class of genteel English hotel where they serve an assortment of dishes alongside the usual offering of a full English and a Continental offer. Maybe a bowl of kedgeree, a Manx kipper or a perfect poached egg and smoked haddock. This nutritious yet tasty dish can easily be elevated to a stunning lunch or supper dish. Perfect for spring with some sautéed seasonal vegetables and a simple beurre blanc or butter sauce.
Salt and Pepper Pork Chops (椒盐猪排)
A real favourite of mine as it is incredibly tasty, and the pork is tender and not dry. What’s more, it is quick to cook so perfect for a midweek supper. Finally, you don’t need lots of expensive ingredients, most of them will already be in your store cupboard or pantry.
Swedish style Meatballs and Buttery Mash
I think the last time I watched the Eurovision was as a student and coincidentally that was also when I visited Scandinavia. I can remember the beautiful scenery. The scarily expensive beer. Mountains of delicious seafood. Smorgasbords. Brunost, a creamy caramel flavoured whey cheese. And of course, the meatballs.
