Crispy Parmesan & Lemon Chicken
Ingredients – Serves 4:
- – 4x chicken breast
- – Zest of 2 lemons
- – 30g of grated parmesan
- – 200g of panko breadcrumbs
- – 100g of plain flour
- – 3x eggs, beaten
- – Vegetable oil for frying
Method:
- Cut chicken breasts into thinner slices or even goujons.
- Prepare three separate bowls and place flour in first, beaten eggs into second and mixture of breadcrumbs, lemon zest and parmesan into third.
- Coat the chicken in flour, egg and breadcrumbs mix in that order.
- Heat up a non-stick pan with the oil in it and fry the coated until golden and cooked through.
Pea, Lemon & Mint Risotto
Ingredients – Serves 4:
- – 1 tbsp Pomace oil
- – 50g butter
- – 50g parmesan, grated
- – 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- – 1 onion, finely chopped
- – 250g risotto rice
- – 150ml white wine
- – 1-2 litre vegetable, hot (amount of liquid depends on how fast you cook your rice/gas hob vs induction hob etc)
- – 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- – mint, small bunch, chopped
- – handful of frozen peas
Method:
- Add oil in a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic with some seasoning for 5 minutes until soft. Tip in the rice and stir until every grain is coated, then pour in the wine and bubble for 5 minutes. Add the stock a ladle at a time, while stirring, only adding more once the previous batch has been absorbed.
- Once the rice is cooked, stir through the butter and parmesan, garden peas, lemon, and herbs
Basil Pesto
Ingredients – Serves 4:
- – ½ a clove garlic
- – 1 big bunch of fresh basil
- – 1 handful of pine nuts
- – 1 good handful of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- – extra virgin olive oil
- – 1 lemon, optional
Method:
- Peel the garlic, then pound in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of sea salt.
- Pick, roughly chop and add the basil leaves, then bash to a paste (or pulse in a food processor).
- Add the pine nuts (very lightly toast first, if you like) to the mixture and pound again, then stir in half the Parmesan.
- Drizzle in some oil – you need just enough to bind the sauce and get it to an oozy consistency.
- Add most of the remaining cheese, then season to perfection with salt and black pepper. Have a taste and keep adding a bit more cheese or oil until you are happy with the taste and consistency.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end to give it a little twang, if you like, but it’s not essential.
Tiramisu
Ingredients – Serves 6:
- – 568ml pot double cream
- – 250g tub mascarpone
- – 75ml marsala
- – 5 tbsp golden caster sugar
- – 300ml strong coffee, made with 2 tbsp coffee granules and 300ml boiling water
- – 175g pack sponge fingers
- – 25g dark chocolate
- – 2 tsp cocoa powder
Method:
- Put the double cream, mascarpone, marsala and golden caster sugar in a large bowl.
- Whisk until the cream and mascarpone have completely combined and have the consistency of thickly whipped cream.
- Pour the coffee into a shallow dish. Dip in a few of the sponge fingers at a time, turning for a few seconds until they are nicely soaked, but not soggy. Layer these in a dish until you’ve used half the sponge fingers, then spread over half of the creamy mixture.
- Using the coarse side of the grater, grate over most of the dark chocolate. Then repeat the layers (you should use up all the coffee), finishing with the creamy layer.
- Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days.
- To serve, dust with the cocoa powder and grate over the remainder of the chocolate.
