Winter Greens Sesame Slaw Salad

January 09

This is bound by an addictive spiced peanut butter dressing which will be the pay off for anyone who isn’t a fan of getting their five a day. For those who are, it’s a bonus amongst a bevy of crunchy slaw ingredients like edamame, shaved cabbage and carrot alongside some roughly pounded peanuts for salty texture.

  • serves Serves 4
  • time 20mins

Method

  1. 1. Use the shredding function on your food processor to finely shred the cabbages, sprouts and carrot. Alternatively shred them finely with a sharp cook’s knife and use a julienne peeler to shred the carrot. Transfer to a large mixing bowl with the spring onions, edamame, peanuts and most of the sesame seeds.
  2. 2. In a separate mixing bowl add all of the dressing ingredients and whisk until combined, adding 50ml of water to loosen if the dressing feels too thick.
  3. 3. Toss the dressing into the veg, adding a little at a time until everything is combined. Serve topped with the remaining sesame seeds.

Classic Chicken Caesar Salad

July 21

Often the test of a good cook, the humble caesar salad, done well, remains one my favourite things to make in the summer months. If I’m going to put in the effort, the dressing must be the classic and include anchovies for their salty bite, from there it is open to interpretation. Purists may balk at the idea of soft boiled eggs and charred chicken but for me they make it a generous summer meal and are essential.

Crispy 5 Spice and Chilli Duck Salad

May 27

You could really use this spice mix with any meat, so feel free to mix it up if you can’t get your hands on duck. 5 Spice powder is a blend of cloves, star anise, cinnamon, fennel seed and sichuan peppercorns which you can pick up quite easily in the supermarket. The dressing is nice and tangy and really off sets the rich duck nicely, do use whatever freshly sliced veggies you fancy.

Caramelised Onion & Mushroom Cheese Toastie

January 18

For a little indulgence and comfort, this Caramelised Onion & Mushroom Cheese Toastie is so ridiculously good I would nearly serve it for a light supper with some sharply dressed salad leaves and call it a day.
