Duck Fat Egg Toastie

 this delicious duck fats egg toastie is a breakfast concept simply in time for the day. granted, for this spin on “egg in a hollow” using duck fat is alternatively extravagant however everything from bread to brussel sprouts fried in duck fats is so precise. the duck fat adds a wealthy almost meaty flavour to the fried bread. the recipe isn't plenty of a recipe and could not be simpler to make. use a cookie cutter to cast off the centre of a bit of bread. in case you use a popular retailer bread ,make sure it's miles a strong bread and quite thickly sliced.  a good first-class sourdough or ciabatta might be fantastic as lengthy as it does not have too many holes for the egg to expire. heat a few duck fat in a pan and fry the bread on the one side till golden brown and crispy. flip it over and lightly ruin an egg into the cavity. the trick is to make sure in order that the bread does no longer burn even as the egg chefs. i locate that cooking for a couple of minutes...

Barbecue meatballs with bacon gravy

What’s better than  barbecue meatballs ? Barbecue Meatballs in bacon gravy. Yes, there’s bacon in the gravy and red wine and mushrooms and pools of melty mozzarella. #takethatmonday! This recipe is all about comfort food, those familiar family foods that we grew up eating, in a time when cooking from scratch was nothing new. Some of the most viewed recipes on this blog involve meatballs, like these North African  Chermoula  meatballs or a pan of tapas-style  Spanish  meatballs. I have a feeling however, that  barbecue meatballs  with bacon gravy are going to become kind of popular around here. As you’d expect, the sauce delivers a savoury-sweet tang with just enough smoked chilli heat to warm the cockles on a cold and dreary autumn night. This is the forth recipe in my ‘childhood favourites’ series so I simply had to include meatballs or frikkadels, as we knew it. Admittedly, these  barbecue meatballs  aren’t exactly the same as I rememb...

Marshmallows with Salted Lime Sugar

I made these Marshmallows with Salted Lime Sugar for a dinner party two weeks ago and from the feedback I got they were the hit of the evening, so I am very pleased to share the recipe here. They formed part of a “forest forage” I created in front of the guests as the dessert finale. We cleared the dining table and asked the guests to stand while serving them a Passion Fruit Champagne  (last week’s recipe) as a palate cleansing sorbet. I proceeded to cover the entire table with the cuttings of 5 fresh herbs, artimisia; salvia; rosemary; lavender and rose geranium to resemble a forest floor while spraying rose geranium extract into the air. I then placed various desserts on the table. A classic french honey nougat, chocolate truffles dusted with homemade beetroot powder, frozen strawberries injected with a berry grappa, these marshmallows and Lebanese almond shortbread ( Lawziyeh ) which I discovered on a trip to  Beirut  two years ago. In the middle of the tabl...
