Ingredients 2 bulbs of garlic 80 gr. piece of ginger 6 mixed-colour chillies 2 tablespoons ground turmeric 3000 gr. higher-welfare rib-end of pork loin , ribs and skin removed and reserved Pantry olive oil 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar Method Preheat the oven to full whack 240 ºC.

Ingredients 4 fresh red chillies 4 anchovies 2 tablespoons small capers 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons quality tinned tuna, in oil 2 heaped teaspoons Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise cayenne pepper 1 lemon sea salt freshly ground black pepper 800 gr. free-range cooked turkey breast 60 gr. rocket Method Prick the chillies with a knife, then hold them over a direct flame on the hob, or place under the grill for around 5', or until blackened and blistered all over, turning occasionally.

Mash the tuna in a pestle and mortar to a smooth, creamy paste. Stir in the mayo, a pinch of cayenne, a squeeze of lemon juice and roughly 1 tablespoon of the dressing from the anchovies and chillies. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if you think it needs it. Arrange the turkey slices on a large platter, then drizzle over the tuna-spiked mayo. Lay over the anchovy fillets in neat vertical lines, then place the chillies horizontally on top so you’ve created a pattern, a bit like a checkerboard!

Ingredients For the pancake: 1,5 to 2 cups kimchi or 1 cup of kimchi and 1/2 cup chopped cooked chicken 1 egg, beaten 1 cup flour 1 cup water, maybe more 3 tablespoons kimchi liquid 3 tablespoons chives cut into 2 inch pieces or use green part of scallions 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons oil For lazy Marion’s dipping sauce: 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 rice wine vinegar or white vinegar 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon hot oil or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Method Make the pancake. Chop the kimchi and chicken into small pieces. Put the flour, beaten egg, water, and kimchi liquid into a mixing bowl and stir together. The batter should be runnier than American pancake batter – if it doesn’t seem runny enough, add even more water. Err a bit on the side of runniness rather than thickness. Once you have mixed the batter together, add in the chopped kimchi and chicken and stir everything together. In a 30 cm nonstick pan, heat the oil over medium flame, let the pan warm up completely before you start cooking. Add the chives and sauté them for a minute. Then pour in everything else and spread it around evenly. Then leave it alone as it cooks for 4 - 5 minutes. Meanwhile, make lazy Marion’s dipping sauce. Mix all the ingredients in a medium bowl and portion into individual small bowls for each person. Once the pancake is nicely golden on the bottom (lift up the edge to check with your spatula), then flip the pancake and cook the other side. You can flip it using the plate trick (slide onto a plate, then hold the skillet upside down over the plate and flip it) or just flip the whole thing, exercising caution. Cook about 3 more minutes, then slide onto a serving plate or charger. Traditionally, this pancake is sliced into long strips just before serving – we used a pizza wheel. It is great fresh from the stove. It is also great at room temperature, making it a good summertime dish, something you can cook in advance and then serve in the hot part of the day.

Tear the basil into pieces, or nicely cut it into ribbons and tuck them around the whole affair as well. Measure the milk in a 2 cup jug, then add the eggs. Beat well, add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and generous grinds of black pepper. Beat until it is all thoroughly combined. Pour the milk mixture over the bread, doing your best to distribute it evenly. Press down on the bread cubes with a knife or a spatula just to get them moist. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15', then remove the foil and bake 15' more, until the top is golden brown, the cheese is melted and the tomatoes are beginning to burst. Serve hot, drizzled with olive oil. Source: https://www.csmonitor.com/

Salt it, add the Swiss chard leaves and boil for 2'. Drain in a colander and squeeze as much water as possible from the leaves. You should have about 1-1/2 cups. On a cutting board, coarsely chop the leaves and set aside. In a large sauté pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and all the butter. Stir in the onions and cook them slowly over low heat until they soften and begin to caramelize. Stir in the brown sugar and the vinegar and cook until the onions are glazed-looking. Transfer to a large bowl. In the same pan, heat the remaining olive oil and add the pancetta. Cook until the pancetta begins to give off its fat and begins to brown. Stir in the red pepper flakes and the Swiss chard and cook for about 4', stirring frequently. Stir in the tarragon, salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to the bowl with the onions. Cool to room temperature. Add the cheese and mix in. Filling can be made two days ahead and refrigerated. Tart dought In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt and blend with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles oatmeal flakes. Stir in the buttermilk and combine with a spoon or your hands until a rough ball of dough is formed. Do not over work the dough, it will be soft and sticky. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or make the dough the day before. Pie Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Roll the dough into a 35 cm diameter on a large sheet of lightly floured parchment paper. Place the dough on the parchment paper on a baking sheet. Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Overlap the tomato slices in a circular fashion over the top of the filling. Bring the edges of the dough up around the filling to form a rustic open face pie. Bake for 25 - 30' or until nicely browned. Serve hot or warm and cut into wedges. Source: https://www.csmonitor.com/
Ingredients 4500 gr. whole bone-in ham 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup light corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Method Unwrap/remove all plastic from ham and place cut side down on a baking rack in a roasting pan. Lightly score any fatty areas with a knife in a diamond pattern. Wrap pan with foil and bake at 165 °C for 40' per kilo, or about 3 hours for a 4500 grams ham. Meanwhile, stir glaze ingredients together in a small saute pan and bring to a boil; remove from heat and allow to cool. Glaze should be amber colored, have the consistency of honey and not be grainy at all. 30' before the ham is done, remove from the oven and take off the foil. Use a carving knife to trim away any fat from the meat before brushing on the glaze. Brush half the glaze over the skin of the ham and return to oven without foil, bake 15'. Then brush remaining glaze on ham and bake another 15 - 25' or until glaze sets and begins to caramelize. Wait 15' before carving. Source: https://www.csmonitor.com/
