This is actually a recipe from Ottolenghi but I'm sure they won't mind us stealing it. First make the harissa by adding the spices to a small frying pan and frying gently until they begin to give of an aroma, put them in a pestle in mortar and ground finely.
First marinate the pork by placing in a dish, gently prick with a small sharp knife and then rub in the sugar, chilli and soy. Cover and allow at least an hour but preferably longer.
Put a large frying pan on a medium heat with a good splash of olive oil, add the potatoes and fry until soft. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add the cooked potatoes once they are cool, set aside.
I would guess quite alot of people who use this site also watch Great British Menu and are somewhat surprised by the antics of Johnny Mountain this week.
This recipe will probably serve about 4 people as a starter or wee snack! Serve with salad and a wedge of lime or maybe a yogurt, cucumber and mint dip.
Fry the spring onion, chilli and garlic in a little oil until softened. Add the ground cumin and coriander and some salt and pepper.
Place the chicken in a large bowl and add all of the ingredients apart from the breadcrumbs. Mix well and then remove a small portion and fry in olive oil to test for seasoning. If the meat needs more seasoning or heat then add the appropriate ingredients and repeat the process.
The celeriac adds a little twist to the traditional potato topping for this fish pie. Yummy.
Boil the potato and celeriac in salted water until soft. Drain and mash with 25g of the butter. Add a little milk too if you like but watch the mixture does not become sloppy. Season to taste.
This recipe uses mafalda corta, a short, flat, ribbony pasta with a wavy edge from the Campania region of Italy. If you can't find that, any other short pasta (such as penne or gemelli) with ridges to hold the sauce will work just as well.

Boil the potatoes and mash. leave to cool. Add the tuna, garlic, bread and parsley. season and mix well. Divide into 4 portions and shape into fishcakes before dipping in egg then roll in the breadcrumbs
This is a very simple recipe, place the prawns in a small food bag and add the ginger, garlic, lime juice and chilli. Leave to marinate for 30mins at least.
For the pancakes whisk together the flour, eggs and milk and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a frying pan then pour in a ladle of the batter. Swirl the batter around the pan to make a thin pancake and cook until bubbling.
To make the batter, sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl and whisk in the lager to give a thick batter, adding a little extra beer if it seems over-thick. It should be the consistency of very thick double cream and should coat the back of a wooden spoon.
Another winter warmer, full of spicy goodness! Great for lunch on a snowy day...Fry the onions in the oil in a large pan over a gentle heat until soft and slightly caramelised - about 15 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli and fry for a few minutes.
