    Ingredients
     

    • 240 g Beef mince
    • 2 garlic cloves
    • 120 g sliced carrot and cabbage mix
    • 80 g sugar snap peas
    • 15 g ginger puree
    • 64 g hoisin sauce
    • 25 ml soy sauce
    • 220 g udon noodles
    • 50 ml water for the sauce

    Instructions

    • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat without oil. Add the beef mince and fry for 5–6 minutes, breaking it up until browned and cooked through.
      240 g Beef mince
    • Peel and grate the garlic. Drain excess fat from the beef, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
      2 garlic cloves
    • Add the carrot and cabbage mix and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, then add the ginger puree and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
      120 g sliced carrot and cabbage mix, 80 g sugar snap peas, 15 g ginger puree
    • Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 1–2 minutes.
      64 g hoisin sauce, 25 ml soy sauce, 50 ml water
    • Add the udon noodles and toss gently, separating them with a fork. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until piping hot and glossy.
      220 g udon noodles
    • Adjust seasoning and loosen with a splash of water if needed. Serve immediately in warm bowls.

    Chef's notes

    • Cook the beef hard enough to brown at the edges; this gives the sauce more depth.
    • Do not overcook the sugar snap peas. They should keep a little bite.
    • Loosen the udon with hot water before adding if the noodles are tightly packed.
    • Leftovers keep for up to 2 days, but the noodles are best freshly tossed.
    Drink pairing
    Sweet hoisin, soy and ginger work best with drinks that have freshness, gentle sweetness or clean bitterness.

    Servings
    Servings 8 people

    Ingredients
     

    • 1.6 kg chicken leg quarters
    • 1 white onion halved
    • 2 lemongrass stalks
    • 30 g fresh ginger sliced for stock
    • 5 makrut lime leaves
    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 1 tbsp salt
    • 120 ml neutral oil
    • 1 garlic head cloves peeled and finely chopped
    • 370 g cooked jasmine rice divided
    • 350 g cabbage thinly sliced
    • 2 carrots thinly sliced
    • 2 tbsp fish sauce
    • 1 lime juiced
    • ¼ tsp ground white pepper
    • 3 spring onions finely chopped
    • 15 g fresh coriander roughly chopped
    • 15 g fresh ginger julienned for garnish
    • 3.8 l water or enough to cover the chicken

    Instructions

    • Put the chicken in a large pot with enough water to cover. Add onion, lemongrass, sliced ginger, lime leaves, sugar and salt, then simmer gently for about 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
      1.6 kg chicken leg quarters, 3.8 l water, 1 white onion, 2 lemongrass stalks, 30 g fresh ginger, 5 makrut lime leaves, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp salt
    • Lift out the chicken and cool briefly in cold water. Remove the meat, return the bones to the stock and simmer for 20 minutes more, then shred the chicken.
    • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan and cook the chopped garlic over medium-low heat until pale golden. Remove from the heat and let it finish colouring in the oil.
      120 ml neutral oil, 1 garlic head
    • Strain the stock, keeping the lemongrass and lime leaves and discarding the other solids. Return the stock, lemongrass and lime leaves to the clean pot.
      2 lemongrass stalks, 5 makrut lime leaves
    • Mash 50 g cooked rice into a paste and whisk it into the boiling stock. Add the remaining rice, cabbage, carrots and shredded chicken, then simmer for about 10 minutes.
      370 g cooked jasmine rice, 350 g cabbage, 2 carrots
    • Season with fish sauce, lime juice and white pepper. Serve with spring onion, coriander, julienned ginger and a spoon of fried garlic oil.
      2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 lime, 1/4 tsp ground white pepper, 3 spring onions, 15 g fresh coriander, 15 g fresh ginger

    Chef's notes

    • The stock can be made a day ahead and chilled, which also makes it easier to remove excess fat.
    • Use cooked jasmine rice for the best fragrance and soft texture.
    • Freeze leftover lemongrass and lime leaves in small portions for future stocks.
    • Leftover fried garlic oil keeps refrigerated for up to 1 week.
    • Reheat the soup gently and add the fresh garnish just before serving.
    Drink pairing
    Lemongrass, lime and garlic oil need clean, aromatic drinks with citrus lift and moderate sweetness.

    • Reheat covered at 160°C, then uncover briefly to refresh the top.

    Applause for the Chef TeamApplause for the Chef Team
    Sausage gnocchi with peppers is a complete tray-bake main with Italian sausage, soft peppers and crisp-edged potato gnocchi. Roasting everything together keeps the method direct and the flavour concentrated.
    5 from 1 vote
    Servings
    Servings 4 people

    Ingredients
     

    • 450 g Italian sausage casings removed
    • 1 green pepper thinly sliced
    • 1 red pepper thinly sliced
    • 1 yellow pepper thinly sliced
    • 1 onion thinly sliced
    • 450 g potato gnocchi
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp black pepper
    • 25 g Parmesan grated, plus extra to serve

    Instructions

    • Heat the oven to 220°C and lightly oil a large rimmed baking tray.
      2 tbsp olive oil
    • Toss the peppers, onion, gnocchi, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper directly on the tray.
      1 green pepper, 1 red pepper, 1 yellow pepper, 1 onion, 450 g potato gnocchi, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • Break the sausage into small pieces over the vegetables and spread everything into an even layer.
      450 g Italian sausage
    • Roast for 25–30 minutes until the sausage is cooked and the gnocchi is lightly crisp at the edges.
    • Finish with Parmesan and serve immediately with extra cheese if desired.
      25 g Parmesan

    Chef's notes

    • Use shelf-stable potato gnocchi, not frozen gnocchi, for the best roasted texture.
    • Spread the mixture in a single layer so the gnocchi browns instead of steaming.
    • Hot or sweet Italian sausage both work. Adjust the seasoning to match.
    • Leftovers reheat best in a hot oven or air fryer.
    Drink pairing
    The sausage and peppers need acidity and moderate body. Italian whites, lighter reds or crisp beer all work well.

    Servings
    Servings 2 people

    Ingredients
     

    • 450 g potatoes
    • 120 ml milk
    • 1 carrot
    • 2 garlic cloves
    • 260 g diced chicken breast
    • 60 g smoked bacon lardons
    • 390 g tomato passata
    • 28 g red wine stock paste
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • 20 g hard Italian cheese
    • 150 g green beans
    • 50 ml water
    • ½ tsp sugar

    Instructions

    • Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and mash with a little milk or butter.
      450 g potatoes
    • Fry the chicken, bacon and grated carrot until coloured. Add the garlic and cook briefly.
      1 carrot, 260 g diced chicken breast, 60 g smoked bacon lardons, 2 garlic cloves
    • Stir in passata, red wine stock paste, oregano, sugar and water. Simmer until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickens.
      390 g tomato passata, 28 g red wine stock paste, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp sugar, 50 ml water
    • Transfer the filling to a dish, cover with mash and cheese, then grill until golden. Serve with sautéed green beans.
      20 g hard Italian cheese, 150 g green beans

    Chef's notes

    • Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling the pie. A cooler filling helps the mash stay distinct and prevents the topping from sinking.
    • A dry red wine such as Pinot Noir, Gamay or a light Côtes du Rhône works best in the sauce. Avoid heavily oaked wines.
    • For a deeper flavour, reduce the wine sauce until it lightly coats the back of a spoon before combining with the chicken and bacon.
    • Fresh thyme complements the coq au vin flavours particularly well and can be added to the filling during the final simmer.
    • The pie can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
    • Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator and reheat best in the oven rather than the microwave.
    • For extra colour, place the pie under the grill for the final 2–3 minutes of cooking once the mash is fully heated through.
    • Serve with buttered green beans, peas or a simple dressed salad to balance the richness of the filling. 
    Drink pairing
    Choose drinks with enough freshness to cut through the main seasoning and enough body for the protein or sauce. Citrus, gentle bitterness and clean acidity work well.

    Chef's notes

    Keep the heat low once the eggs go in, so the frittata sets without burning underneath.
    Drink pairing
    The eggs, Parmesan and bacon make this dish savoury and rich, while the pumpkin adds sweetness. Pair it with freshness and gentle acidity.
