Panfried Sea Bass with Sicilian Inspired Salsa, Crispy Potatoes and Asparagus
Inspired by a holiday to Sicily. Some simple panfried seabass with lovely crispy skin and flaky flesh with a pine nut, raisin, celery salsa which has sweet and sour notes thanks to plenty of lemon, a touch of saffron and a splash of sherry vinegar. Crispy smashed potatoes and panfried asparagus are the perfect accompaniments. Simple, delicious.
Smashed Ayrshire Potatoes with Crushed Mint Peas, Feta, Pine Nuts and Pickled Radishes
One of my favourite vegetarian dinners at this time of year and a delicious side dish.
Middle Eastern Potatoes with Chickpea Mash, Zhoug, Tamarind and Pomegranate Dressing
Scotty Brand tasked me to come up with a healthy air fryer potato recipe and I couldn’t not do something Middle Eastern inspired. This would make a great side dish for any Middle Eastern feast but it was also a filling, healthy and satisfying meal on its own, full of texture and flavour. Oh, and did I mention it’s completely vegan too?
Spiced Potato, Spinach and Butternut Squash Filo Pie
I created this delicious veg-packed spiced potato filo pie for Scotty Brand. It is not only vegan, it also works out at just £1.30 per portion. It would make a great centrepiece to any dinner party, but is also an easy recipe to follow for a midweek dinner. It has everything I love in a recipe - ease, flavour, texture and lots of healthy goodies.
Moroccan Potato, Olive and Chickpea Tagine with Apricots and Preserved Lemon
I created this vegan Moroccan inspired tagine recipe for Scotty Brand to celebrate Vegan Month. It’s packed with plenty of fruit and vegetables and is a healthy, filling, low-cost meal which will satisfy the whole family. You won’t even notice it’s plant based.
Herb Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Cauliflower Puree, Fondant Potatoes, Parsnip Crisps and Red Wine and Chocolate Jus
This is a decadent Sunday night roast. Its rich and full of flavour and definitely a treat. We were gifted the chateaubriand a few months ago and it has been in our freezer ever since. I was going to do a beef wellington with it, but decided that a fancy Sunday roast would be a nice luxury instead. The accompaniments would work with any other piece of beef, they would also be great with venison too. The cauliflower puree pulls everything together and is a definite must-try.
