Recipes and Cocktails

Ingredients: 3-4 skinless chicken breast fillets (approx 600g) 1 tsp vegetable oil 1 large onion, sliced 400g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 2 carrots, sliced 1 stalk celery, sliced 1 leek, sliced 1 heaped tbs plain flour 300 ml Crumpton Oaks Cider 300ml chicken stock Black pepper ½ tsp dried mixed herbs 2 tsp chicken gravy granules Chopped parsley A deep lidded saute pan is ideal for this, or you could use a large frying pan or saucepan. Method: 1) Cut the chicken into chunks and seal in a little oil in a hot frying pan or saute pan, then tip out into a bowl. 2) Add the onion and potatoes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes then add the carrots, celery and leeks and cook for another few minutes. Add the chicken back to the pan, then sprinkle over the flour and stir really well. 3) Gradually add the cider, stirring all the time, then add the stock, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are mostly covered. Season well with black pepper and add the dried herbs. 4) Bring to a simmer, put on the lid and bubble for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and stir again then continue to cook, uncovered for another 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. 5) Mix the gravy granules in cold or hot water as according to pack instructions, then stir in and heat for another couple of minutes until the gravy is nicely thickened. 6) Sprinkle over the parsley and serve with green vegetables and maybe some Yorkshire puddings if you like.

Want something that is oh so simple to prepare yet mouth-wateringly tender? Pork that just falls apart on your fork - you know, the stuff you see in restaurants and food stalls. Bet you think you could never get yours to look like that! Well, you can. Simply pull together your ingredients listed below, chuck it in a pot and leave for 3 hours whilst you go off and enjoy life. Let the aromas tickle your taste buds that you will have you peering through your over door in salivating anticipation. Method • Heat the oven to 175C/fan, 170C/Gas 5. • Find a large ovenproof pot with a lid and heat it on the hob. • Score the fat in a criss-cross pattern all the way through to the meat, then season with salt and pepper. • Pour a glug of olive oil into the pot and add the pork, fat-side down. Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes, to render out the fat. • Remove the pork from the hob and put it to one side. • Add the onions, chili, paprika, herbs, and a good pinch of salt and pepper to the pot. Turn the heat down and gently cook the onions for 10 minutes, then add the sliced peppers, the roasted peppers, and the tomatoes.

Rum and Cider Cocktail

'Rum Punch. Quite Satisfactory!' Quite? Not that we'd ever argue with Mary Poppins (we wouldn't have the balls, to be perfectly honest!), but if her Rum Punch was only 'quite' satisfactory, it clearly wasn't made using our ingredients!! We have been in the mood for celebrating this week; with World Cocktail Day on Monday and our pubs opening up their interiors at long last - the need for a celebratory tipple was high on the agenda. We got wind that our friends over at Penrhos had added a new Honey Spiced Rum to their spirits stable. Call it coincidence, call it fate - call it what you want...the stars aligned and a new Cider Cocktail was born. So, to celebrate the easing of lockdown measures, let's literally ease our measures and generously pour the following over crushed ice into your fave cocktail receptacle:

INGREDIENTS

An easy 50ml of Penrhos Honey Spiced Rum An easy 50ml of PULP Mango & Lime cider Squeeze of fresh lime Sprinkle of lime zest (add a touch of ginger finely grated to an extra kick)

ENJOY!
