Chocolate Tiffin
A quick and easy recipe for Chocolate Tiffin that was given to me by my neighbour. I can confirm it’s delicious!
Baked red cabbage
The colour of the cabbage enhances any main course but it goes particularly well with roasts and can be cooked, at the same time, in a casserole on the bottom shelf. It is very temperature tolerant and can even be gently simmered on top of the stove, providing you are there to stir it occasionally.
As red cabbages can be large you may have more than you need; any leftover freezes well and can easily be reheated in a microwave.
Chicken Pasanda
For my last recipe celebrating National Curry Week, and also to use up a little more of the Total Greek Yoghurt I’ve been sent, I’m treating you to a Chicken Pasanda. This is the curry that I always used to order when eating out at a restaurant. I just love the creaminess and nutty flavour of the sauce – the Total yoghurt is thick, tasty and full fat, so ideal for this.
There are a lot of ingredients and the method is long, but as they say no pain no gain! Give it a go, I think you’ll like it!
Grannie Messenger’s Mincemeat
Family Christmas’s always meant home made mincemeat and stirring to make a wish. The great day was 23rd October for both the pudding and the mincemeat. This is my grandmother’s recipe and possibly her mother and grandmother’s before her. As the luxury mincemeats now include cherries, that is an optional extra that I have indulged in.
Moroccan Lamb Tagine
There’s not many things better than a Moroccan lamb tagine – deep spicy flavour, with melt in mouth lamb and a rich thick sauce.
Muesli
Gabby makes a batch of muesli every month, as that’s the shelf life for the nuts she uses. Every time the recipe is different, but the basic ingredients remain the same. The proportions are used as a guide, and can be adjusted for personal preferences.
