Bolognese ravioli

Bolognese ravioli
Ingrédients

For the filling:

  • 400g higher-welfare minced pork
  • 400g higher-welfare minced veal or beef
  • Olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 onions
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 celery sticks
  • 200ml Chianti Classico (red wine)
  • 2 x 400g tins of quality plum tomatoes
  • 100g Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
  • Sea salt and black pepper

For the pasta:

  • Fresh pasta dough (Jamie’s “Royal pasta dough”)
  • Fine semolina, for dusting

For the sauce:

  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1–2 fresh red chillies
  • 3 x 400g tins of quality plum tomatoes
  • A few sprigs of fresh basil
  1. Make the filling:
    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan. Add the minced meats, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 20 minutes until nicely browned.
    Finely chop the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, then add to the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
    Pour in the red wine and let it evaporate.
    Add the tomatoes, crush them with a spoon, then pour in half a tin of water.
    Simmer gently for about 1 hour until thickened.
    Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan.
  2. Make the ravioli:
    Roll out your fresh pasta into thin sheets (about 1 mm thick).
    Place teaspoons of filling along one sheet, dampen the edges with water, then lay another sheet of pasta over the top.
    Press down around the filling to seal, remove any air, and cut into square ravioli (about 7 cm each).
    Dust a tray with semolina and place the ravioli on it.
  3. Make the sauce:
    Fry the garlic and finely chopped chillies in olive oil until lightly golden.
    Add the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes.
    Blend the sauce until smooth, season to taste, and keep warm.
  4. Cook the ravioli:
    Boil a large pot of salted water.
    Cook the ravioli for about 3 minutes until tender, then drain gently.
    Toss in the warm tomato sauce.
  5. Serve:
    Plate the ravioli, top with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan, and enjoy!

Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken Tikka Masala
Ingrédients

For the marinade:

  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 heaped tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 heaped tsp garam masala
  • 3 lemons
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
  • 6 heaped tbsp natural yoghurt
  • 800g skinless, boneless free-range chicken breasts
  • 3 fresh green or yellow chillies

For the sauce:

  • 2 onions
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1–2 fresh red chillies
  • 1 bunch of fresh coriander (30g)
  • olive oil
  • 1 level tbsp ground coriander
  • 2 level tsp turmeric
  • 6 tbsp ground almonds
  • 2 × 400g tins of plum tomatoes
  • 1 organic chicken stock cube
  • 2 × 400ml tins of light coconut milk

1. To make the marinade, place the cloves, cumin, 1 heaped teaspoon of paprika and 1 heaped teaspoon of garam masala into a dry frying pan and toast for 1 minute to bring out the flavours. Tip into a large bowl.

2. Finely grate in the zest of 1 lemon, squeeze in the juice, crush in the garlic, peel and finely grate in the ginger, then add the yoghurt and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Chop the chicken into 5cm chunks, then massage well with the marinade. Skewer the chicken, interspersed with wedges of 1 lemon and chunks of green or yellow chilli. Place on a tray, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

3. For the sauce, peel and roughly chop the onions and garlic, deseed and finely chop the red chillies, and pick the coriander leaves, placing the stalks into a food processor. Add the onions, garlic and chillies and pulse into a rough paste. Put a splash of oil in a large casserole pan over medium-high heat, add the paste and cook for 20 minutes, or until golden and aromatic, stirring occasionally.

4. Add the ground coriander, turmeric, the remaining paprika and garam masala, cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the ground almonds. Scrunch in the tinned tomatoes, crumble in the stock cube and pour in 300ml of boiling water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then pour in the coconut milk and simmer for a further 20 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Taste and season to perfection.

5. When you're ready to cook, preheat a barbecue, griddle pan or grill to high. Drizzle the skewers with oil, then cook, turning occasionally, until beautifully charred on all sides. Remove the chicken pieces straight into the sauce (discard the lemon wedges), simmer for a few minutes, then squeeze over the juice of the grilled lemons to taste.

6. Sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve with fluffy rice or warm naan bread.

Minty courgette tart

Minty courgette tart

Minty courgette tart
Ingrédients
  • 1.5kg courgettes
  • 1 heaped teaspoon dried mint
  • 320g sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry (cold)
  • 6 teaspoons black olive tapenade
  • 80g goat’s cheese
  1. Trim and peel the courgettes, quarter lengthways, cut away and discard the seedy core, then roughly chop and place in a large shallow casserole pan on a medium heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the dried mint. Cook gently for 30 minutes, stirring regularly, then mash half the courgettes with a potato masher and fold back through the rest. Season to perfection and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Unroll the pastry sheet on its paper and place on a baking tray. Spoon over the cooled courgettes, leaving a 1cm border around the edge, then fold up the sides, pressing at the corners to secure. Brush the exposed pastry with a little oil, and cook at the bottom of the oven for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is beautifully golden and puffed up.
  3. Randomly dot over the olive tapenade, break over the fresh goat’s cheese, then take to the table and serve up.

Top Tip: PS If you want to use courgette flowers, like I have in the picture, have a go at growing them yourself (it’s really easy!), or buy them from farmers’ markets, as you’ll rarely find them in supermarkets. Simply open them out, arrange on top of the tart and drizzle with a little oil before baking.
