Episode 1 | Christmas Sides 🎄 Roast Potatoes 🥔 Serves 6-8 2kg king Edward potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (these my favourite variety as they are incredibly fluffy, therefore crisp up the best) A few garlic cloves, peeled and crushed in the palm of your hand 500g goose / duck / beef fat Few sprigs of rosemary, stalks removed Zest of 1 lemon Generous sprinkling of sea salt 1. Add the potatoes into a pot with a pinch of salt and the garlic cloves (optionally add in some rosemary sprigs here too), cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Cook for roughly 10 minutes until fork tender, but not falling apart. 2. Preheat an oven to 200 C / 390 F fan. 3. Strain the boiled potatoes then leave to steam dry in the colander for a few minutes. Add back into the dry pot, cover with a lid and shake to lightly ‘fluff’ them up - this is what gets you the extra crispy edges. 4. Add the goose fat into two baking trays, place into the oven and preheat the oil for 15 minutes. 5. Remove the tray from the oven and then carefully add in the potatoes. Coat each potato in the goose fat then place them back into the oven. 6. Cook the potatoes for 60-75 minutes, turning every 20 minutes or so to coat them evenly in the oil. 7. Whilst cooking, prepare the rosemary salt bg blending together, or finely chopping, the rosemary, lemon zest and salt. 8. Once the potatoes have cooked and are a golden brown colour all over, remove them from the oven and lift out of the tray with a slotted spoon. Toss the potatoes in a bowl with a sprinkling of the rosemary salt and some extra finely chopped rosemary. This is THE perfect potato for any roast or Christmas dinner, or simply to go alongside a bowl of rich gravy. Enjoy! 🔥 #food #cooking #FoodTok #fyp #christmas #EasyRecipe #christmasrecipe

Add the onions into a pan over a medium heat with the unsalted butter and oil. Cook these for 30 minutes until caramelised, frequently stirring so that they don’t burn. 2.

Sunday Rost Lamb 🔥 British Staples Ep.3 - herb crusted rack of lamb, served with creamy mash, roasted carrots, cavolo Nero, lamb sauce and mint sauce 🤤 Lamb: Serves 4 (2 chops each) * 1 tbsp vegetable oil * Rack of lamb (8 bones) * Dijon mustard * 25g roughly chopped parsley * 25g de-shelled pistachios, roughly chopped * 5g rosemary needles (a few sprigs) * 5g thyme finely chopped (a few large sprigs) * 2 garlic cloves * 75g panko breadcrumbs * 2 tbsp oil * Generous pinch of sea salt 1. Score the lamb fat into a criss cross then place into a pan over a heat high with a splash of vegetable oil and sear on all sides until browned. If you want to remove the fat, feel free to do so, but I like to keep this on as it is FULL of flavour. Scoring helps render and release the fats into the pan when searing and cooking later on. 2. Set the lamb aside and brush generously with Dijon mustard. 3. To make the crumb, add all of the remaining ingredients into a blender and blitz until fine. Roll the rack of lamb in breadcrumbs then place into a roasting tray and cook in a preheated fan oven for oven of 180 C / 355 F. Cook for 25 minutes until pink on the inside. In my opinion, rare / medium rare lamb, for cuts like this, is the best way to go! 4. Remove the lamb from the oven, leave to rest for 10-15 minutes then cut into slices and serve with mash, veggies, lamb sauce and mint sauce. Enjoy! 🔥 #cooking #food #comfortfood #Recipe #roast #sundayroast #roastdinner

Episode 3 | Christmas Sides 🎄 Cauliflower Cheese 🧀 A staple of mine at home with any roast. This is THE perfect side dish for your Christmas meal this year! The added miso and Boursin are a game changer 🔥 Serves 10 or more (as a side) 2 x large cauliflower Olive oil Salt & pepper 100g butter 200g flour 2 litre milk 2 garlic cloves 120g cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping) 80g gruyere 1/2 Boursin 2 tsp miso paste 20 grinds black pepper 2 tsp mustard Grating of nutmeg Sprinkling of parsley Season with salt to taste after adding cheese 1. Rinse and cut the cauliflower up into medium size florets and cut the ends of the leaves. 2. Add the florets and leaves into roasting trays, add some oil, salt and pepper, then roast in an oven at 200 C / 390 F for 20-25 minutes until starting to brown. 3. Meanwhile, prepare the cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a large pan then add the garlic. Cook over a medium heat until the butter and garlic have both browned (make sure not to burn the garlic otherwise it will go bitter). Add the flour, then mix together and cook for a few minutes to make the roux. 4. Gradually add in the cold milk, continually whisking, until all combined. Bring to a gentle bubble and cook for a few more minutes. 5. Remove the sauce from the heat, add in the remaining ingredients then stir though until melted. 6. Preheat an oven to 180 C / 355 F. 7. Add the roasted cauliflower and leaves into a wide dish, then cover with the cheese sauce. Mix until the sauce is distributed evenly, then top with more cheddar. 8. Place into the preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes until starting browned on top. If needed, place under the grill to quickly speed this up if more browning is needed after 30 minutes.
