Myth or fact – the 5 sec rule
Spanish lamb stew
This is an excellent Spanish stew recipe, ideal for a Sunday dinner, try and get a single piece of lamb that you can dice yourself into nice big chunks, or ask the butcher to do it for you
Lamb and sweet pepper sauce
This is a great pasta dish, I would never of thought of having lamb and pasta together but it works perfectly and the peppers add a nice sweet flavour
You can use pork chops for this but I find that steaks are better if you can get them. This is a Caribbean style of recipe hence the addition of rum and allspice
This is a great little Indian starter, chickpeas, mango and coconut all work well together to create a fresh favoured dish
This is a really easy Asian salad recipe that involves no cooking, apart from poaching a chicken breast and that’s hardly taxing! It’s great to have if you feel you’ve been overdoing rich and heavy foods as it is light, fresh and healthy.
Pork belly is amazing, it just needs alot of cooking, it goes well with chorizo (double pork!) Polenta chips are a good addition but any carb will work with this dish
