Crispy Baked Potatoes with Rosemary & Parmesan

This side dish goes with anything and happens to be a childhood favourite of mine...

Ingredients:
(Serves Four)
  • 1kg, Maris Piper Potatoes
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Rosemary
  • 1 clove of garlic, whole 
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Parmesan, grated
Preheat oven to 200C - with the baking tray inside.

Wash and peel the potatoes.

Cut the potatoes into small pieces and dry with kitchen towel. Take the heated baking tray from the oven and place on the hob (medium heat) adding a generous drizzle of olive oil, potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. Mix well making sure the potatoes are well coated.

Roast in the oven for at least 35mins, during that time turn the potatoes regularly with a spatula to ensure an even colour. Add the grated Parmesan and roast for another 5-6mins.

Remove the potatoes from the oven, season to taste, then serve.

For a touch of naughtiness add some tasty diced pancetta, delicious!

Chickpea Burgers

I am conscious of what I eat during the week and that variety is important so not to get bored and reach for the biscuit tin, time is also a big constraint on what goes on the menu. The last thing I want to do after a long day’s work is sweat over a hot stove for hours on end, so I am always looking for simple, quick and more importantly TASTY options to bring to the dining table. Ingredients: 1 can of chickpeas 1 carrot 2 shallots 1 large egg 2 tbsp breadcrumbs Salt & pepper Ground Cumin Cayenne Pepper Grate the carrots and chop the shallots finely (or whizz in a food processor with the grater attachment), transfer to a pan with a little olive oil and sweat for a few minutes to sweeten the shallots slightly, set aside.         Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them into a food processor with all the spices, salt and pepper. Slightly pulse for a rough and chunky paste. Stir in the carrot, shallots, egg, and breadcrumbs until evenly mixed. Time to get you

Feta & Spinach Pizza Rustica

This recipe is a take on the "Matonella Materana", a fast food snack filled with ham and cheese that I adore when I visit my fatherland.

Dust the baking tray with flour and lie the base piece of puff pastry onto the tray. Spread a generous amount of tomato puree on the pastry leaving a 1cm border all the way round the base.
