Lentil and Bacon Soup

This wonderful soup is loaded with great seasonal root vegetables, carrot, potatoes and parsnip. It is then rounded out with lentils and bacon.

Cumberland Sausage with Onion Gravy

A glorious made from scratch coiled Cumberland Sausage is the star of this very British bangers and mash recipe that also has a kick ass onion gravy!

Us Brits are rather fond of a good sausage. One of the first things I taught myself to make when we moved to Hungary was a good British Homemade sausage. This Cumberland sausage recipe is an extension of that.

Mushroom Ragu With Cheesy Polenta

This rich mushroom ragu recipe is the perfect vegetarian meal and is served on a wonderfully comforting cheesy Gruyere polenta.

My wife has been bending my ear for weeks to come up with a new dish to serve over polenta and this Mushroom Ragu is the sign of my capitulation. To be honest she even started hinting in the height of summer. She just lurves polenta!

Chicken Hotpot

It is definitely warming comfort food season and my chicken hotpot recipe definitely fits into that category. Flavour filled chicken thighs are cooked on the bone in a roux-thickened sauce. A sauce that is flavoured with wholegrain and dijon mustard and some thyme.

Chicken Dhansak

I have used the phrase many times here on krumpli, a curry is never just a curry! This chicken dhansak recipe is another one that demonstrates the diversity of that simple name.

Roast Pork Chops With Beans

Roast pork chops are always fab and these boneless pork blade or Boston butt chops are roasted on a bed of green beans and white beans in a tomato sauce.

These roast pork chops represent a slightly different approach to cooking than my norm. What can I say I like to play and change things up in the kitchen. I guess you could call this a casserole or a stew, throwing things together and getting them to cook in the oven is something I don’t often do.

Whole Roast Duck With Scalloped Potatoes and Red Cabbage

A whole roast duck always feels special and this recipe comes bundled with red cabbage and the very best potato recipe that I know!

Well, where do I start with this whole roast duck recipe… It is wonderfully old fashioned, about as British as it gets and as delicious as any dish I have ever cooked.

Indonesian Braised Pork

I am always on the hunt for new stew recipes at this time of year. This braised pork stew from South East Asia is my latest discovery. This Babi Chin recipe is essentially pork cooked in a dark soy sauce based stock. It is superb, dark, sweet, salty and all sorts of comforting.

Instant Pot Pulled Beef With Quick Csalamádé

This soft and wonderfully flavoursome BBQ pulled beef is cooked in the Instant Pot and served with a quickened Hungarian pickled cabbage csalamádé.

Sandwich recipes are few and far between here on Krumpli but this pulled beef recipe is the perfect sandwich filling.

Harissa Roasted Carrot Soup With Crispy Chickpeas

This roasted carrot soup is loaded with wonderfully spicy North African flavours and is topped with crispy sumac coated chickpeas!

This spiced carrot soup recipe is loaded with the wonderful flavours of North African cuisine. They are flavours I love, hot and spicy but with a wonderful fragrant back note.
