British Recipes
These are my takes on the recipes or flavours that I grew up eating in the UK in the late 70’s. Some have been left gloriously retro and others have been given a modern twist. Either way, these recipes have a special place in my foodie heart because they feel like home!
Pork sausage and lentil stew is the perfect one-pot wonder and it gets a helping hand from savoy cabbage, English mustard and apples.
Corned beef pasta bake with tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce, macaroni & mozzarella cheese topping is the perfect comfort food dinner!
Minced lamb hotpot sounds very British, but my version leans on Indian flavours from a classic keema curry and adds a spiced potato topping.
Honey and mustard glazed sausages with red onions and cider are the perfect way to do something a little different with bangers and mash!
Cauliflower cheese and pasta bake with “rarebit vibes”, a Cheddar, Gruyere & Stilton cheese sauce is joined by mustard & Henderson’s relish.
Masala baked beans on toast is a fun twist on a much loved British dish, it features Indian spices & flavours, with a good kick of chilli.
Pan-fried calves liver with crispy sage leaves, and a marsala wine, onion & bacon “gravy” makes for a delicious and surprisingly quick meal.
Sausage and baked bean casserole, the “full English” breakfast experience without all of the washing up, everything cooks in one pan.
Devilled chicken thighs in a spiced gravy inspired by an old Mrs Beeton recipe that uses Worcestershire Sauce, brandy and English mustard.
