Golden honey roasted parsnips are a traditional accompaniment for roast turkey. Add some festive lift with some parmesan and chilli for a twist on a classic. Inspired by recipes from:
Sides
Papo Secos, Crusty Portuguese Rolls
A bowl of fresh clams steamed in their own juices, served in a bowl with some papo secos, crusty Portuguese rolls, are my favourite memory of holidays in the Algarve.
Wrinkled Potatoes
Brought over by explorers to South America in the 1600s and cultivated in the Canary Islands ever since you are sure to have had them on holiday there.
Homemade Mojo Picante
Mojo picante, the spicy red pepper sauce is served with papas arrugadas, the wrinkly potatoes, all over the Canary Islands.
Crunchy Pecan Green Beans
Tender green beans with a lovely crunch and a zing of lemon.
Vanilla Custard
Jamie Olivers indulgent vanilla custard, great with crumbles and sponge cakes.
Alioli
A lovely home made Spanish style garlic mayonaise
Best Chips Ever
Chips are a British institution with Brits working their way through half a billion meals containing homemade chips each year.
Traditional Fresh Mint Sauce
Mint grows so freely that once you know the trick you never need buy mint sauce again.
Peppercorn Sauce
One of my favourite steak sauces – a creamy Peppercorn Sauce made with Jack Daniels, beef broth, cream and plenty of crushed peppercorns.
