Make The Perfect Roast Dinner with Jana, Head of Brand

Make The Perfect Roast Dinner with Jana, Head of Brand

GAZPACHO

Gazpacho is a recipe that I totally fell in love with about 10 years ago. I tried it while on holiday in Ibiza in a restaurant called The Wild Asparagus. It was a really hot evening and I thought it might cool me down. The flavour was incredible and I couldn’t believe it had passed me by all these years. It also feels quite healthy and easy to store in the fridge for a quick lunch on a hot summer’s day.

YOU WILL NEED

  • 2 red peppers, halved and deseeded
  • 2 individual ciabatta rolls
  • 900g large vine-ripened tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthways and deseeded
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 5 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 4 spring onions, trimmed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Gazpacho
  1. Add the tomatoes to boiled water making it easier to remove the skins - it’s tricky but I like to de-seed aswell, although not essential
  2. Puree together the cucumber, peppers, and spring onions in a food processor.
  3. Add the garlic, olive oil, sugar, paprika and white wine vinegar to the food processor and blend again until smooth, or to a more textured consistency if desired.
  4. Transfer the soup to a jug, cover with cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until cold - I like it super cold so tend to leave for 1-2hrs.
  5. Garnish with spring onions and toasted ciabatta cut into smaller pieces. When ready to serve, pour the gazpacho into bowls and finish with salt and pepper.

 


MARMALADE HAM WITH GARLIC PAPRIKA POTATOES

For last year’s secret Santa at work someone bought me eight packets of ham and I was utterly delighted – it kept me going for about three days. Straight out of the packet is my preferred way of eating!

For my feast, I had to share with you all my famous roast marmalade ham plus all the trimmings. The perfect main for Easter and the best bit is you can eat all the cold ham after – it doesn’t last long in my house though

YOU WILL NEED

  • 2kg of boneless tied gammon joint
  • 1 pot of marmalade
  • 2-3 potatoes per person
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • Paprika
Marmalade Ham with Garlic Paprika Potatoes
  1. Get a big pan and cover the ham in water. Boil the ham for 1hr to remove the salt, repeat this for a further 30mins if you like the ham less salty
  2. Place in a roasting tin and score the ham all over and cover in marmalade, cover in foil and cook for a further 30mins at 180 fan oven.
  3. While the ham is roasting, peel and chop the potatoes into medium-sized chunks and cover in the crushed garlic, olive oil and a large dusting of paprika - when there are 30-35mins to go put in the oven to roast.
  4. After the initial 30 mins of ham, roasting remove the foil and baste the ham in all the juices and leave uncovered for another 30mins in the oven until it’s golden brown and looks delicious!
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 mins, then spoon more marmalade glaze over the top. Can also be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.
  6. Cut the ham in slices, serve with garlic/paprika potatoes and veg of your choice. I think cauliflower cheese, carrots and tenderstem broccoli are strong veggies to accompany the ham feast! I also collect all the marmalade juice and use this as a jus for the ham.

APPLE & BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Anything crumbly is a winner for me. I can’t really see past apple and blackberry crumble, delicious with ice cream in the summer months and custard during the winter. The flavours work perfectly together and if you can’t finish it all because you are so full from the ham, you can eat it cold later!

YOU WILL NEED

For the Crumble:

  • 120g plain flour
  • 60g caster sugar
  • 60g unsalted butter (softened + in chunks)
  • 20g rolled oats

For the Fruit Filling:

  • 300g Braeburn apple
  • 30g unsalted butter
  • 30g demerara sugar
  • 115g blackberries - freshly picked in September
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Apple & Blackberry Crumble
  1. Make the crumble and set aside. To make the crumble rub together the plain flour, rolled oats, caster sugar and softened butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  2. Peel and cut the apples into chunks, mix with the blackberries and give a good mix up with the demerara sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Assemble the fruit mix in a baking dish and add the crumble topping, bake in the oven for 35-45mins at 170 fan oven, you should see the fruit starting to bubble beneath the crumble topping.
  4. Serve with ice cream or custard.
