Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 1 3/4 hours
Serves six

 

Ingredients

- 1.8 kg leg of lamb
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced (optional)
- 6 unwashed potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 kg butternut pumpkin, chopped and seeds removed, or 1 kg kumara (sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into large chunks
- salt
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 400 g green beans, topped and tailed, boiled, to serve
- 4 small carrots, peeled and thickly sliced on the diagonal, boiled, to serve

 

How to cook

1 Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the lamb in a large roasting pan and brush it all over with a little of the oil. Season well with pepper. If you are using the garlic, make 1-cm-deep slits with a small, sharp knife in the leg of lamb, and press a piece of garlic into each slit with your fingers. Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.

2 Meanwhile, place the potatoes and pumpkin or kumara on a board and brush with the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes around the lamb and roast the lamb and potatoes for 30 minutes. Add the pumpkin or kumara to the roasting pan and roast for a further 40 minutes (for medium-cooked lamb). Transfer the lamb to a carving plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest. Transfer the vegetables to a large well-greased roasting pan. Increase the oven temperature to 230°C and return them to the oven for 10 minutes to crisp up.

3 For the gravy, skim off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat from the juices remaining in the roasting pan. Place the pan on the stove over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping the base of the pan to loosen any crisp bits, for 1–2 minutes, or until the flour just starts to brown. Gradually stir in the stock until well combined. Increase the heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high and boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.

4 Carve the lamb and serve with the pumpkin or kumara, potatoes, carrots, beans and gravy.

How to cook Carbonara Spaghetti

Ingredients

2 cans Creamed of Mushroom Soup (preferably Campbell)
250 ml All Purpose Cream (Nestle)
200 grams sweet ham, in small squares
200 grams bacon, shredded
Spinach Fettucine (400 grams noodles are green and I like the contrast of the white creamy carbonara sauce against the green noodles)

a dash of pepper
Olive Oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese for topping

Preparation

1. Prepare the pasta (fettuccine noodles) based on instructions. Set Aside.

2. Fry the bacon until brown and not too crispy. Set Aside 1/4 for topping and the rest for the sauce.

3. In a sauce pan, saute garlic with olive oil. Add ham and 3/4 of the fried bacon.

4. Add the 2 cans of creamed mushroom soup with 2 cans of water.

5. Add the cream. Mix well.

6. Season with nutmeg and pepper.

7. If the bacon or ham you bought was too salty that it made the sauce salty as well, just mix in additional cream to neutralize the salty taste.

How to cook Stuffed Squid

Ingredients

    * 1 tablespoon olive oil
    * 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
    * 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    * 1 clove garlic, finely minced
    * 8 to 10 whole squid (about 3 to 5 inches each)
    * 2 ounces raw shrimp
    * 1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
    * 2 tablespoons finely chopped tomato
    * 2 teaspoon lemon zest
    * 2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
    * 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
    * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    * 2 cups prepared tomato or spaghetti sauce
    * 1/4 ground beef cook


Directions

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and salt and sweat until the onions turn translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not brown. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute. Transfer the mixture to a medium mixing bowl and set aside to cool.

Clean the squid thoroughly and remove the heads from the tentacles and discard the heads. Turn the tubes inside out (since the outside skin tends to curl outward, it'll hold the stuffing better inside out), put into a bowl and set in the refrigerator until ready to use. Place the tentacles and the shrimp into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 6 to 8 times or until there are no large pieces visible. Do not process until smooth. Transfer to the mixing bowl along with the onions and garlic. Add the bread crumbs, tomato, lemon zest, ginger, parsley and pepper. Stir to combine well.

Place the mixture into a resealable freezer bag and snip 1 corner. You may use a pastry bag with a tip just small enough to fit into the end of the tubes. Pipe the stuffing into the tubes, dividing the mixture evenly between them. Do not over-stuff.

Place the tubes into an 8 by 11-inch glass baking dish and cover with the tomato sauce. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

How to cook Grilled Chicken w/ Garlic

Ingredients

    * 2 heads garlic, cut in 1/2 horizontally
    * Kosher salt
    * Freshly ground black pepper
    * Extra-virgin olive oil
    * 2 whole fresh thyme sprigs, plus leaves from 6 sprigs
    * 2 lemons, juiced, plus 2 lemons, halved
    * About 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped
    * 1 (4 to 4 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 10 pieces
    * Freshly ground black pepper
    * 2 heads radicchio, preferably Treviso, cut into quarters
    * 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut a piece of aluminium foil about 12 inches long.

Put the garlic on 1/2 of the foil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle in some olive oil, and add 2 sprigs of thyme. Fold the foil enclosing the garlic, making a pouch, and add a couple teaspoons of water. Fold the foil over the garlic to enclose and fold in the edges 2 or 3 times to seal. Put the package in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, or longer, until the garlic is soft. Open the package and let the garlic cool a bit, then squeeze out the cloves into a food processor or blender. Add 1/2 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, parsley, and thyme leaves and puree to make a thick vinaigrette.

Preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.

Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Put the pieces in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat with the seasonings and then refrigerate while you get everything else together.

Put the radicchio in another bowl, drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss; set aside.

When you're ready to cook, take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface.

Season with salt and pepper and place the radicchio quarters on the preheated grill. Cook the radicchio for about 2 minutes per side until it has a nice char; pull it off the grill, place into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to steam and finish cooking.

Then put the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and grill. Grill the chicken for about 20 minutes, turning once, then baste with about half of the vinaigrette and keep cooking until an instant-read thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the thigh reads 160 degrees F and the chicken is nice and caramelised all over, 15 to 20 more minutes. During the last few minutes, throw the lemon halves on the grill, cut sides down, and cook until just marked and smoky.

How to cook Grilled Vegetables

 
Instructions

1. Choose vegetables that take well to grilling, such as peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, corn on the cob, button mushrooms and summer squash.

2. Clean and trim the vegetables. Cut large ones into halves or slice them into large sections.

3. Parboil small, waxy potatoes until tender before grilling. Remove silks from corn but leave husks on, and soak in water for about 1 hour before grilling.

4. Marinate vegetables for 15 minutes before grilling (see Tips). Or just brush them lightly with oil so they don't stick to the grill, if you won't be cooking them in a foil pouch or vegetable basket.

5. Prepare a medium-hot fire in the charcoal or gas grill.

6. Put the vegetables directly on the grill grid, on skewers or inside a foil pouch or vegetable basket. Begin with the vegetables that take the longest to cook - denser vegetables such as potatoes or peppers will take longer than moisture-filled ones such as tomatoes.

7. Turn the vegetables often, brushing on more marinade as needed.

8. Remove the vegetables when they can be easily pierced with a fork.
