The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver bacon makes a simple dinner packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals
Mains
Confit Duck Legs
Confit is a traditional French cooking method in which duck legs are salted and cooked in fat, which preserved them in the days before refrigeration. The cured legs are cooked for a long time at a low temperature which results in extremely tender meat that falls easily off the bone.
Cassoulet
This delicious duck dish is fancy enough to impress your friends while equally simple enough to serve up as a family supper. Made with classic French ingredients like Toulouse sausages, garlic, cannellini beans and fresh thyme, this dish is packed full of delicious flavours.
Steak and Kidney Pudding
This rich and flavoursome steak and kidney pudding is full of juicy meat, swirled in a thick gravy sauce that will just melt in the mouth.
Spanish Chicken Bake
It’s been a long day and you want to make something that’s easy and needs very little washing up afterwards. What you need is a Spanish-style one-pan chicken bake made with juicy chorizo, chicken and vegetables.
Baked Whole Turbot
When cooked fresh, turbot meat is subtly flavoured and sweet. (It also stores well and can be kept for a few days due to its mild flavour and high gelatine content.) Turbot can be filleted, then steamed or sautéed. But I like to make serving turbot into a family occasion and roast the fish whole to be shared at the table.
Cumberland Sausage Casserole
A comforting and hearty one-pot sausage stew with chorizo, smoked paprika, red wine and beans.
Chilli con Carne
An all-time tex-mex classic chilli con carne recipe, low in fat and using mainly store cupboard ingredients.
Pork Chops with Rhubarb
This savoury-tart-sweet combination takes the classic pairing of pork and fruit to a whole new level.
Slow Roasted Duck Leg Casserole
Try cooking with tender duck legs – they taste best braised in rich sauces, slow-cooked in a casserole, or turned into luxurious confit. The skin is great when roasted until crisp.
