Crab cakes
In association with
Martin Wishart
Ingredients
Starter
Easy
30 minutes
6
Method
1 For the crab cakes, carefully pick
through the crab meat for any pieces
of cartilage or shell. Combine in a bowl
with the eggs, breadcrumbs, spring
onions, fish and soya sauces, ginger,
garlic and lime juice to taste
4 Allow the cakes to cook for 3-4
minutes on each side so they are hot
in the centre and golden-brown on the
outside. Use a palette knife to transfer
the crab cakes from the pan on to
kitchen paper to drain off excess oil
2Season with a little salt and pepper.
Divide the mix into 50g portions and
shape into even-sized round cakes and
lightly coat with flour
5Serve the crab cakes on a warm
plate with a garnish of a few salad leaves
dressed with a little olive oil and a
squeeze of lime juice
3 Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick frying pan. When you feel a good
heat rising, carefully arrange the crab
cakes in the pan, making sure they don’t
touch each other

Lime-marinated flank steak
In association with
Martin Wishart
Ingredients
Flank steak
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 60ml of Thai fish sauce
• 100ml of Kikkoman
soy sauce
• 5 limes, juiced
• 125ml of water
• 50g of caster sugar
• 0.5 tsp of dried chilli flakes
• 1kg of whole piece beef
flank steak
Main
Easy
30 mins + 24 hours marinating time
6
Method
1 Put the garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce,
lime juice, water, caster sugar and chilli
flakes in a bowl and whisk together
2 Place the beef in a dish and cover
with the marinade, making sure the meat
is covered on both sides. Marinate for
24 hours, turning the meat from time to
time
3 The next day, pre-heat the barbecue
until very hot. Remove the beef from
the marinade, pat it dry with kitchen
towel, then place it on the grill. Cook for
three to four minutes on each side for a
medium-rare finish
4 The beef will colour fairly quickly
due to the sugar and soy sauce. As ever,
the cooking time will vary depending
on the thickness of the steak and the
temperature of the barbecue
5Allow the steak to rest for a few
minutes, then slice it thinly against the
grain of the flesh and serve immediately
with accompanying side dishes such
as spicy aubergine salad, Japanese
coleslaw salad, crunchy fennel salad and
Puy lentils with Dijon mustard vinaigrette

Oriental-style chicken with guacamole
In association with
Galton Blackiston
Ingredients
Chicken
• 4 boneless and skinless
chicken breasts
• sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper
Main
Easy
2 hours 10 minutes
6
Method
1 For the marinade, place the grated
fresh ginger, chopped red chillies,
chopped coriander, soy sauce, honey,
Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, olive
oil and sesame oil into a bowl and mix to
combine
4 Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas
mark 6. While the oven is heating, sear
the marinated chicken strips in a griddle
pan. Cook the strips over a high heat for
1-2 minutes, turning once so they brown
nicely on both sides
2Cut the chicken breasts into 1cm
strips and place them in the bowl with
the marinade. Stir well to coat the
chicken evenly, cover the bowl with cling
film and leave to marinate in the fridge
for at least one hour
5 Transfer the chicken strips to a
baking sheet and place into the oven to
cook for a further five minutes, or until
completely cooked through
3 For the guacamole, place the
chopped avocados into a bowl and add
the lime juice immediately. Then add
the crushed garlic clove, chopped fresh
coriander, chopped shallot, olive oil and
Tabasco sauce and mix well. Season, to
taste, with salt and freshly ground black
pepper and set aside. If not serving the
guacamole straight away, lay a piece of
cling film directly onto the surface of
the guacamole and push out any air, to
prevent it going brown
6 Remove the chicken from the oven
and season with coarse sea salt and
freshly ground black pepper. Serve
with a spoonful of guacamole served
alongside

Duck breast with chicory
and potato dauphinoise
In association with
Josh Eggleton
Ingredients
Pan-roasted duck breast
• 2 duck breasts
• salt
• pepper
Potato dauphinoise
• 400g of Maris Piper potatoes,
peeled and sliced thinly
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 300ml of whole milk
• 200ml of double cream
• 2 pinches of grated nutmeg
• salt
• pepper
Main
Easy
1 hour 30 minutes
2
Method
1 To prepare the potato dauphinoise, finely
slice the potatoes using a mandolin and set
aside in water until required
2 Combine the cream, milk, nutmeg, garlic
and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large
saucepan and bring to the boil. Once boiling,
remove from the heat and set aside
3Strain the water off the potatoes and layer
inside a small oven dish lined with baking
paper, being sure to overlap each layer as you
go
4 Preheat the oven to 160˚C/gas mark 3.
Pour enough of the cream mixture over the
potatoes to cover and bake in the oven for
45 minutes or until slightly golden on top and
tender through the middle
5 Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Weigh down with butter, cheese or any other
heavy square object and set aside in the
fridge to press for up to 12 hours
6 For the red wine sauce, place a medium
sized pot onto a high heat and add enough
vegetable oil to coat the base of the pan. As
soon as the pan begins to smoke, add the
shallots, carrots, leek, garlic and celery
7Cook until the vegetables reach a
dark golden brown colour. Add the thyme,
rosemary, port, wine and vinegar, turn down
to a simmer and reduce until almost dry
8Add the brown chicken stock and reduce
again by half. Remove from the heat, strain
through a fine sieve into another pan and set
aside until required
9 For the chicory, remove any damaged
outer leaves and cut in half lengthways.
Sprinkle with a little caster sugar and
caramelise in a hot frying pan, cut side down,
until golden brown
10 Add the soy sauce, orange juice and
butter. Cover the pan with a lid or circle of
greaseproof paper and cook for 5-6 minutes
until tender. Be sure to baste the chicory with
the cooking liquid regularly
11 Meanwhile, season the duck breasts with
salt and pepper and place, skin side down,
in a cold frying pan. Place on the heat and
slowly bring the temperature up from cold,
which will help the fat to render and mean
the breasts cook more evenly
12 Continue to cook until golden brown,
then turn the breast over and leave on the
heat for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the
heat and let the duck rest in the pan for 15
minutes - this will slowly finish off cooking the
breast and allow it to rest at the same time
13 Reheat the red wine sauce on the hob
and place the dauphinoise and chicory in the
oven to heat through. Slice the duck breast
to your liking and arrange onto plates with
a slice of the dauphinoise and 1 half of the
chicory. Drizzle the plate with the sauce and
serve immediately
