Dan Parker's cod cheeks, pickled cucumber and kefir recipe Step 1 To make the pickle, put everything except the cucumber into a small pan with 200ml of water, and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Pour over the cucumber, leave to cool, then cover in clingfilm and chill. Step 2 Mix the kefir and crème fraîche and season. Step 3 To make the split dressing, put all the ingredients into a small blender and whizz until it forms a purée. Step 4 Remove the cod from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring up to room temperature. Step 5 For the crumb, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan, then add the breadcrumbs and fry until lightly golden. Step 6 Lightly season the cod cheeks with salt and pepper. Step 7 Spoon the kefir across half the bases of 4 small, shallow bowls, drizzle the dressing over and marble with a spoon. Step 8 Put 2 pickled cucumber pieces on the uncovered side of plate.
What wine to drink with boeuf bourguignon Our wine expert Victoria Moore suggests four affordable bottles of wine to drink with boeuf bourguignon. Plus: Victoria's easy boeuf bourguignon recipe. Long, slow-cooked beef casseroles are friendly dishes; not just to the cook who can make them in advance and then swish around the kitchen feeling tidy and in control but also to wines. At least, they are friendly to French wines. Boeuf bourguignon was – as the name suggests – originally made with red wine from Burgundy. Pinot noir, in other words – savoury and dry but also relatively light-bodied. Château de Pizay Morgon 2012 France, 13% (£8.99, Majestic) Morgon is always the most hefty of the named beaujolais cru but this is still a light red, supple and smooth and filled with bright red berries, ready for spring. Domaine de la Meynarde Plan de Dieu 2012 France, 14.5% (£8.49, M&S) This is a superb, dusty red blend from Southern Rhône. La Bastide Blanche Bandol 2011 France, 15% (£14.79, Waitrose) Not many people have heard of the Dao.

simplyrecipes I’ve recently been cooking my way through some of the older recipes on Simply Recipes and came across this gem—Moroccan spiced grilled chicken breasts. It’s a winner! Boneless skinless chicken breasts are marinated in yogurt mixed with a Moroccan spice mix of cumin, paprika, and cinnamon, and then simply grilled. The yogurt helps tenderize the breasts and the marinade brings life to otherwise boring boneless skinless chicken. What I love about this recipe is that with just the barest of preparation, you can have a delicious meal within minutes. Just put the chicken in the marinade before leaving for work in the morning, come home, heat the grill, chicken is done in less than 10 minutes. The recipe is one we adapted from a recipe in the Sacramento Bee years ago.
Chilled Lemon Grass and Coriander Vichyssoise | Recipes | Delia Online First of all, strip the coriander leaves from the stalks and reserve both the leaves and the stalks. Lemon grass is dealt with in exactly the same way as leeks: that is, you trim the root and the tough top away, leaving about 6 inches (15 cm) of stem, remove the outer skin and chop the lemon grass quite finely. Then do the same with the spring onions. Next, gather up all the trimmings from both, wash them and pop them into a saucepan together with the coriander stalks, some salt and 1½ pints (850 ml) water and simmer (covered) for about 30 minutes to make a stock. To make the soup, melt the butter in a large saucepan, then add the chopped lemon grass, onions (reserve the spring onions till later) and potatoes and keeping the heat low, let the vegetables sweat gently (covered) for about 10 minutes. After that, pour in the stock through a strainer, discard the debris, then add the milk and about three-quarters of the coriander leaves.
