Mulled wine pot roast chicken

It's a great little recipe for Christmas day if there are fewer of you, and a turkey is just too big OR if you just aren't keen on turkey.
The mulled wine isn't overpowering. It just gives a beautiful festive aroma of Christmas to the meat.
Cooking it in the pot upside down with the lid on for the first half of cooking makes this the most succulent chicken you've ever tasted! I also love how you can out your veggies underneath (carrots in the case) so you've more room in the oven for your other trimmings.

Simple Steak with a sherry and clotted cream pan sauce.

Ad|Cooking the perfect steak, made simple
I used...
●James Kittow Rump Steak
●Butter (about 20g per steak)
●Salt and Cracked Black pepper
●Garlic 2- 3 cloves per steak (no need to peel)
●A few sprigs of woody herbs like thyme or rosemary
●Olive oil
●A non-stick pan
●Tongs

Firstly, choose your cooking preference and time below.
These instructions are for an average sized, good quality, Rump or sirloin steak, that weighs around 7/8oz.

Rare-2 .5 mins each side, 3 minutes rest time after
Medium rare-3.5 mins each side, 4 minutes rest
Medium 4 mins each side
Well, done - 5-6 mins each side, 5 minutes rest.

I advise that you cook one steak at a time, cooking the most well done one first, and the most rare last, so that they have the right amount of time to rest.

Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
Pat excess blood or liquid from the steaks using kitchen towels.
Coat the steaks in a couple of teaspoons of olive oil on all sides.
Heat a dry pan (no oil) on a high heat.
Into the HOT pan, using tongs, sear the fat edge (IF THERE IS ONE) of the steak for about 2 minutes until the fat has rendered and is crisp and golden.
Then, lay the steak down on one side in the pan. Let it sizzle, and cook for the chosen time (rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done).
Season well with salt and pepper, flip the steak, and repeat the cooking process.
After flipping, add the k**b of butter, the garlic, and the herbs to the pan. Season this side of the steak with salt and pepper now, too
As the butter melts, spoon it over the steak to baste.
Continue basting until your chosen cooking time is up.

Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for the specified time.

Serve this with potato wedges, steamed kale, and my fab clotted cream and sherry steak pan sauce.

Sherry and Clotted cream steak pan sauce
De-glaze the pan with about 100ml of sherry (let the flame catch the pan to burn off the alchohol with a flame), then add a tablespoon of clotted cream and a good pinch of black pepper.
Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and serve.

Enjoy

It's been a hot minute since I winged a quick voice overed supper recipe for you, i even filmed this one badly too, sorry...anyway let's go for it.

This was filling, easy, and a crowd pleaser. A great one for using up what veg you have left in your fridge, anything (within reason) goes...

Not really even a recipe... more a collaboration of bits heated through. My kind of SUPPER.

To make it for 4-6 people depending on the appetites of the people...

Preheat the oven to 220⁰

Fry 150g Smoked bacon lardons in a pan.

Chop up 4 large baking potatoes into 1 cm cubes

Chop one large onion and add to the bacon in the pan with some olive oil.

Once softened and the bacon's half cooked, add 3 garlic cloves chopped, the other veggies (in my case chopped rainbow chard stalks but you could add kale, broccolli, baby spinach) and then add the potatoes. Season well with plenty of salt and pepper.

Get an oven dish and grease with butter. Put half a cabbage chopped in the bottom. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip the potato, onion, and bacon mix on top.

Drizzle everything with plenty of olive oil, 2-3 tbsp.

Pat it down tightly with a wooden spoon.

Pop a lid or tightly wrap foil over it and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the lid, and put back in the oven to cook for a further 15 minutes or until the tops golden and all the potato undernesth is soft and cooked through.

Garnish with fresh parsley to make it look like you've made an effort and voila.

Serve this with an egg on the top, or grated cheese and crusty bread and butter.

Enjoy
