  • Chicken schnitzel & Parmesan baked squash with sauce Gribiche by Barry Horne

    Chicken schnitzel & Parmesan baked squash with sauce Gribiche by Barry Horne

    serves 4


    Ingredients: 

    1 large squash (Crown Prince or Delicata)

    4 chicken schnitzel 

    ½ tsp coriander seeds

    ½ tsp fennel seed

    ¼ tsp chilli flakes

    3 cloves garlic

    50ml olive oil 

    100g Grated Parmesan cheese


    For the sauce Gribiche:

    1 hard boiled egg

    1 tbsp Dijon mustard

    1 tbsp vinegar

    3 tbsp olive oil

    1 tbsp capers (chopped)

    5g parsley

    5g tarragon

    Salt & pepper


    Method:

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.

    Start by cutting the squash into 1 inch slices.

    In a pestle and mortar bash up the coriander, fennel seed and chilli flakes with a pinch of salt until crushed. Add the garlic and crush into the mixture along with the olive oil to make a loose paste. 

    Cover the squash with the mixture and then toss in the grated parmesan. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and add the coated squash slices to the try. Roast in the oven for 20-30 mins.

    To make the sauce, peel and chop the egg as finely as you can. Put the egg in a bowl and add the capers, mustard, vinegar and olive oil and mix together to emulsify. Add in the chopped herbs and season to taste.

    Now it’s time to pan fry the schnitzel.

    Put a pan on a medium high heat and add an even layer of vegetable or coconut oil and allow to get warm. It looks like a lot of oil but it allows the chicken to get an even golden brown colour all over.

    Season the schnitzel and add to the pan, cook on each side for 3-4 mins or until cooked through, drain on kitchen paper to get rid of any excess oil.

    Serve the schnitzel alongside the roast squash and a good dollop of the sauce.

  • Duck breast with red wine & blackberry sauce & salt baked beetroot by Barry Horne

    Duck breast with red wine & blackberry sauce & salt baked beetroot by Barry Horne

    Method:

    Start by roasting the beetroots as they will take the longest. Preheat the oven to 180deg C. Take a large piece of tin foil and place the beetroots along with some olive oil and about 2 tablespoons of salt in the foil. Wrap up and bake in the oven for 1.5 hours or until a knife goes through easily. Leave to cool.

    Take the duck out of the fridge and score the fat with a knife only slightly, you don’t want to go as far down as the flesh, this is to help render out some of the fat as it cooks. Leave this out for around 10 mins to come up to room temp before cooking.

  • Asian Style Bavette Salad by Antonina Parker

    Asian Style Bavette Salad by Antonina Parker
    I will go as far to say that this is one of the yummiest salads, I have ever made!  You have got to try this!  It is very flavourful and I recommend always marinating this cut of meat because it takes up to a completely different level and it softens after marinating.  It is versatile and can be paired with many flavour combinations.  Peanut Salsa loves a salad and with all these crunchy leaves and herbs, you are left with something unreal!  This is perfect for a special dinner for 2 or even can stretch for a dinner party.  Bavette is a cheaper cut and great value for money.
