1 Roughly chop the onions, garlic and peppers.

2 Blend all of the ingredients (excluding the chicken) in a blender to create the jerk sauce.

If using a whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces.

3 Rub the sauce into the meat, saving some for basting and dipping later. Leave the chicken

in fridge to marinade overnight.

4 Bake in the oven for 30 minutes; turn the chicken then bake for a further 30 minutes.

oR Grill the meat slowly until cooked, turning regularly. Baste with some of the remaining

marinade whilst cooking. For best results, cook over a charcoal barbecue (ideally over a rack

of pimento wood).

Ideal for a barbecue!Serve with rice and peas or hard bread and use the left over jerk sauce for dipping.

1 Cut the tops off the tomatoes (retain tops) and carefully scoop out flesh (retain flesh as well).

2 Cut the tops off the peppers (retain tops) and remove seeds and membrane.

3 Place tomatoes and peppers in a baking pan large enough to hold them comfortably and give each vegetable a tiny dash of sugar with the tips of your fingertips.

4 Purée tomato flesh in a food processor or blender. Place in a large bowl.

5 Add ¾ cup of the olive oil, rice, onion, garlic, mint, parsley/cilantro, nuts, cheese, sultanas, 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper (or season to taste). Mix thoroughly.

6 Stuff the vegetables evenly with this mixture and replace tops of tomatoes and peppers.

7 Combine 1 cup of water and ½ cup of olive oil with a scant tablespoonful of tomato paste and a little salt and pepper and pour this around the vegetables.

8 Bake in a preheated 180°C (375°F) oven for approx 1¾ hours (vegetables should pierce easily and be slightly blackened in parts).

9 Turn off oven and leave in for another hour to mellow. This step is important in creating depth in the flavour. They are best served slightly warm or at room temperature.

“Ballymaloe” or “stobhach gaelach” as

it is called in Gaelic, is traditionally

made of lamb or mutton but in modern

times may also be cooked with beef.

This can be prepared a couple of days

ahead of time, and is even better a

day or two after it’s made.

1 Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).

2 Rinse the meat.

3 Mix together the paprika, cumin, butter and salt and spread over the lamb.

4 Loosen some of the skin just under the shoulder and put a little of the mixture inside.

5 Cook in a moderately hot oven with the fleshy part of the meat facing down. Add a

glass of water and occassionally baste with the resulting juices so that the meat does

not become dry.

6 After two and a half hours, turn the meat over, and cook the other side until golden brown.

7 Continue cooking for another thirty minutes, remove once you have checked that the meat

is tender enough to be torn off with your fingers.

8 Arrange on a dish without the gravy. eat while piping hot, seasoned with cumin and salt.

1 Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).

2 To make the gravy, cook the onions in a large knob of butter and a big pinch of salt, stir until they are dark brown and caramelized (this will take about 30 minutes so be patient). Add the stock, simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

3 For the batter, sieve the flour into a large bowl, holding the sieve up high to give the flour a good airing. Make a well in the centre, break the egg into it and add some salt and pepper.

4 Measure the milk and 55ml (2oz) water in a measuring jug, then, using an electric hand whisk on a slow speed, begin to whisk the egg into the flour – as you whisk, the flour around the edges will slowly be incorporated. Add the liquid gradually, stopping to scrape the flour into the mixture.

5 Whisk until the batter is smooth.

6 Arrange the sausages in the roasting tin and cook for 10 minutes.

7 now place the roasting tin containing the sausages over direct heat turned to medium and, if the sausages haven’t released much fat, add the tablespoon of oil. When the tin is really hot and the oil is beginning to shimmer - it must be searing hot - quickly pour the batter all around the sausages. Immediately return the roasting tin to the oven, this time on the highest shelf, and cook the whole thing for 30 minutes.

8 Serve it immediately with the gravy, and it’s absolutely wonderful with mashed potato.

1 In a very large deep pan, fry the onion and garlic until soft, add the minced meat with all the above spices, including salt and pepper, until it browns then add a few dashes of Worcester sauce, put aside. Brown pine nuts separately and put aside.

2 Salt the cauliflower florets and fry in the same pan (no need to clean it) but don’t let them burn. When cauliflower start to change colour, layer the minced meat on top followed by a layer of the pine nuts.

3 Slowly and evenly spread a layer of basmati rice over the top. It should cover the meat so that none of the meat mixture can be seen, but not too thick as the rice will expand during cooking (about a 1cm thick layer).

4 Sprinkle a little salt, then SLoWLY pour in enough cold water to cover the rice, trying not to disturb the rice layer (if done quickly the layering will be ruined).

5 Bring the water to a gentle simmer, and cook at this level until the rice is cooked through. Keep topping up the water carefully to cook the rice at the top, or use a lid on the pan.

6 once the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed, turn heat off and let rest for a while. Carefully place a large flat dish on top of the pan and flip over. Leave it to stand for a few more minutes before slowly removing the pan from the dish.

7 The dish should have a nice layer of rice at the bottom, minced meat, pine nuts in the middle, and cauliflower florets on the top.

8 Serve with salad, plain yogurt and hummus.

SeRveS 4InGReDIenTS2 tablespoons groundnut oil

2 shallots, finely sliced

2 garlic cloves, finely sliced

4 heaped tablespoons homemade Thai red

curry paste (see below)

½-1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon palm sugar

4-5 kaffir lime leaves

400ml (13½oz) coconut milk

1 aubergine, cut into chunks

3 skinless chicken breasts, sliced

150g (5oz) green beans, halved

handful of fresh Thai basil or fresh

coriander, chopped

1 To make the paste, put the cumin and coriander seeds in a small dry frying pan and toast over a medium heat for 30 seconds until fragrant. Transfer to a heavy pestle and mortar. Grind as finely as possible.

2 Meanwhile, roughly chop the red chillies, leaving the seeds in, and put in a mini food processor with soaked dried chillies and 1 tablespoon of the soaking liquid. Blend to a purée and set aside.

3 Add the rest of the paste ingredients to the pestle and mortar, one by one, making sure each ingredient has been grounded to a paste before adding the next. Finally, ground in the puréed chillies. (Alternatively, place paste ingredients into a small food processor and whizz to a paste.)

4 Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan and fry the shallots for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds more. Add 4 heaped tablespoons of the curry paste and fry for 1 minute, then add ½ tablespoon of the fish sauce, the palm sugar, lime leaves, coconut milk, 175ml (6oz) water and the aubergine. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes. Add the beans and cook for a further 5 minutes until tender.

5 Remove from the heat, taste and add more fish sauce if needed. Stir in the herbs and serve with steamed or coconut rice and lime wedges to squeeze over.

1 Pour the milk into a large saucepan. Remove the leaves from the parsley and add the stalks to the milk. Finely chop the leaves and keep to one side. Add the bay leaf and the haddock to the milk.

2 Bring the milk to a gentle boil and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and leave for 5 minutes for the herbs to infuse their flavour into the milk.

3 Remove the haddock from the milk with a slotted spoon and put to one side. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve and reserve the herb-infused milk.

4 Heat the butter in another saucepan, add the onions and cook gently until translucent about 5 mins, taking care not to burn them.

5 Add the milk to the onions, then add the potato and stir until totally incorporated into the milk and should be a thick, creamy consistency.

6 Flake the smoked haddock into meaty chunks taking care to remove any bones you may find. Add to the soup.

7 Add the chopped parsley leaves to the soup and bring to a gentle simmer and cook for a further 4-5 minutes. Do not over stir. If over stirred then you will break up the fish too much.

8 Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed, be careful with the salt; the fish will impart quite a salty flavour all on its own.

9 Serve hot with crusty bread.
