My Top Essential Sauces/Dressings

  Topping up my Chosen Foods Avocado Oil yesterday made me think how I know what I like and like what I know. I thought it would be a good idea to explain why I use certain products - (disclaimer, this is my opinion, and what works for me)   As I mentioned, I was topping up my oil Dispenser that holds my Chosen Foods Avocado oil. This might be the first time you are hearing of avocado oil, or know fully well why id use such a variation of oil to cook with.    Well, The prime benefit of Avocado oil is that it has the highest smoke point of any cooking oil. This means you can get the pan hotter without burning the oil leading to a better cooked steak.  For instance, Olive Oil starts to burn and smoke at around 190c+ where as Avocado Oil starts to smoke at around 270c and remember, the hotter the pan/griddle the better your steak/protein will cook and provide that all important crust.    So why Chosen Foods, well as Avocado oil is rarer to buy in the UK, choice is limited, how

BBQ Tips & Tricks

  BBB Tips & Tricks   Summer is nearly here, and BBQ season is starting to flow into full swing. This is my favourite time of year, The warm breeze, chilled beers and smell of Grilled Burgers filling the air. There is nothing like it. So I thought it best to write a few of my go to tips to help you get the best out of your Barbecue.   This are in no particular order…   1.    Temperature control – It doesn’t matter how great your shopping list or quality of meat is, if you fail to ignore Temperature control, it can end in disaster. I will split this into two sections, Internal Temperature (Food) and External Temperature (Cooking) –   With Internal Temperatures, we live in a day and age where there are many fantastic aids at hand. The best and most convenient being an Instant read thermometer. Relatively cheap and readily available on Amazon, this is by far my most used go too tool for the BBQ or Kitchen. Being able to quickly see how cooked a Steak or Joint, takes

Chicken Skewers - Mangal Style Grill

 So easy, yet so tasty. Succulent chicken with that signature charred taste and texture.  As you can imagine, I am a huge fan of BBQs and opt to use our Charcoal Grill as much as possible. You don’t need to use a BBQ to get similar results but an Oven or Grill will do just as well.  I will go into further detail about setting up the Mangal Style grill in a later post, however for now, I’ll stick to the basics.  Firstly get your skewers, I use 1/2 inch blades skewers as I feel they offer more versatility, but simple wooden or metal skewers work just as well. If you are using wooden skewers, make sure they are soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before putting near any heat. This will stop them igniting.  Take either Chicken Breasts or Filleted Thighs, and dice them up into equal sized cubes. This helps with an even cook. From here I loaded the diced pieces onto the skewers and seasoned well with our “Everyday Seasoning” as well as some Smoked Paprika and Cajun Spice.  I placed these

The Bella Ciao

First Recipe and it is so easy and a great twist on a much loved favourite -  Named after the recurring chant from the amazing ‘Money Heist’ (a much watch on Netflix), this is a Chicken Based Pizza.  Firstly get a good sized Chicken Breast. Continue to flatten the Chicken Breast. I normally place on a chopping board. Cover with a sandwich bag and use a Meat Hammer/rolling pin and beat the breast to create a Flat and Level surface that will act as the Base.  Next, place baking/grease proof paper on a bank in tray and place the flattened breast on this.  Get some Tomato Purée, and spread onto the breast, covering evenly. It’s not necessary but I always add a splash of Franks Red Hot. It just adds a further level of flavour.  Cover the tomato base with good quality Mozzarella and Pepperoni (feel free to add more/different toppings) and place in a preheated (180c) oven.  This should take around 15/20 mins. I recommend getting a good instant read thermometer and ensuring the Chicken is cook
