random recipes #45 – magazines and clippings

1 November 2014 by Dominic Franks

… it’s been ages since we’ve visited this theme for random recipes and it’s always proved really popular, in fact it seems that many of you have more magazine clippings than actual cookbooks and if you’re anything like me you’ll have a stack of them a mile high filled with recipes you never got around to cooking.  Well, now’s your chance…

… this month for random recipes i’d like you to randomly select a recipe from one of your magazine clippings.  It can be from a dusty old pile of magazines, a tidy bundle of clippings or even a recipe from one of this weekends papers, the choice is entirely up to you.  Why you may even happen to have a copy of Lincolnshire Life Magazine with a recipe of mine in it!…

the rules are really simple if you want to play along:

1. lay all your magazines or clippings in a giant pile in the living room – what?… i’m giving you an excuse to sort out your dusty old piles of hoarded recipes…

2. close your eyes, spin around, reach out your hand and pluck a recipe from the pile.

3. create the exact recipe on this page and don’t cheat… do it with a friend in the room who will make you stick to it… it’s a challenge after all and you’re only cheating yourself… this is specifically designed to take you out of your comfort zone…! 
5. you may change the recipe for dietary, monetary or seasonal availability reasons only.
6. post it up on your blog, with a link to this page and then email me a link to your post so I know you’ve joined in, you can also attach the random recipes challenge badge to show people you’re taking part.
7. tweet your entry including the hashtag #randomrecipes and I will retweet all I see
8. challenge deadline is Nov 28th and I will post the round-up on Nov 29th

… for some reason (ahem) I do actually have a very large pile of Lincolnshire Life Magazine’s that I stack on an old farm chair in the corner of the kitchen.  Can you believe it’s been nearly 4 years since I first started writing a monthly recipe page for them… I know that pride is a sin but when I look at my work in print I do get a little puffed up with pride and if you ever see me in a paper shop or local supermarket I will always keep an eye out for this months edition and make sure it’s clearly visible and looking tidy.  As it happens I am not the only recipe writer for the magazine.  The lovely Ivano de Serio, head chef of The Old Bakery in Lincoln also gives us a three course meal every month.  His recipes are entirely a world away from my style.  He’s a proper trained restaurant chef and his food is always stunning and beautifully presented and I’m forever turning the corner of the pages down on recipes I like the look of, so of course this month I have taken my random pick from my copies of the magazine and have come up with Ivano’s wonderful recipe for strawberry millefeuille with tarragon infused chocolate ganache and italian black cherries… wish me luck!

and that my dear random recipe disciples is that…

eat and of course, enjoy!

Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve ever made, easily on par with the roast chicken-wing gravy I made at Christmas. Served here with @quorn_uk ‘meatballs’ and two types of mash - regular potato and swede & carrot.

Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cak Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cake?

This fat-free orange and lemon cake is actually an adaptation of the infamous Clementine Cake by @nigellalawson . It’s one of my absolute favourite ‘go-to’ cakes.  If truth be told I usually make it at Christmas because its rich almond nuttiness and intense clementine fruitiness is perfect for the holiday season but looking back over the years I realise I haven’t actually made it for about 8 years! So now seems the perfect time to resurrect an old favourite.  It’s also a great cake to make if you have an abundance of citrus fruit left over from last year.  I always seem to have a few stragglers left in the bowl that really need eating.

vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & chedd vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & cheddar dumplings with @quorn_uk pieces and @fage_uk yoghurt

The challenge with making food or diet-related New Years resolutions is that it tends to be pretty damn cold this time of year and all we really want to eat is warming soups and stews which often tend to be quite naughty.  With this stew I’ve tried to cut down the fat but still make it unctuous and satisfying although the dumplings are a total cop-out but I’m thinking that this is a ‘one bowl meal’ and I’m not saving it with any other carbs so I’m letting myself off here!

Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-F Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-Flour Tortillas

Not more Brussels sprouts I hear you cry! But like puppies, Brussels are not just for Christmas.  They are a very versatile vegetables and can be used in so many recipes, plus they’re packed with the good stuff. They’re high in fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to your diet. They also come with added health benefits, including the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, decrease inflammation and improve blood sugar control.  If all this isn’t good enough for your wellbeing then ive added some tangy Mexican-inspired spices and some homemade tortilla’s to remind us all of the sunshine and holidays… remember them?
