  Harissa Spice Blend

  Harissa is a spice blend of Moroccan origin. Generally, it features cumin, chilli, salt, ground coriander seeds, garlic, paprika and caraway seeds.  

  

  This warm, earthy tasting blend is perfect for rubbing on any meat and making marinades.

  Here is an example straight from my BBQ. Lamb rack rubbed in harissa and garlic.

  Enjoy,

  PK

  PK’S Red Wine And Green Peppercorn Sauce

  One of my favourite meals is a thick juicy beef steak smothered in a creamy pepper sauce. I make a white wine version that makes for a mean surf and turf but this is my red wine version with green peppercorns and crème fraîche. 

  

  Steps

  1. Making the sauce (~15 minutes)
  2. Serving

  Ingredients

  • 1 small handful of parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 small handful of spring onions (green tops only), sliced
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp green peppercorns
  • 1/4 cup red wine (I used a Merlot)
  • 1/2 cup beef stock (try Italian Beef Stock: Brodo Di Manzo)
  • 1/2 cup crème fraîche
  • 1 tsp brandy

  Equipment

  • 1 chef’s knife
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 small saucepan

  Making the sauce

  1. Chop the small handfuls of parsley and spring onion tops. 
  2. Add to the saucepan along with the 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 Tbsp green peppercorns and the 1/4 cup of red wine.
  3. Cook on low, stirring often, until the red wine has thoroughly reduced.
  4. Add the 1/2 cup beef stock and 1/2 cup crème fraîche.
  5. Mix everything well and simmer until you get the consistency you desire.
  6. Add 1 tsp of brandy and mix again.

  Serving

  I served the sauce over a pork rack replete with crackling, steamed vegetables and Yorkshire puds.

  

  

  Enjoy,

  PK’s Panko Cheese Chicken Tenderloin Nuggets

  I am always looking for meals that my lads will wolf down without complaints. I am happy to say that I can’t make enough of these baked chicken and cheese nuggets.

  Let me know how you fare and there are more kid (and big kid) friendly meal links at the end of the post.

  Steps

  1. Cutting and coating the chicken nuggets
  2. Cooking the nuggets
  3. Serving

  Ingredients

  • ~600g chicken tenderloins
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • Nugget coating mix:
    • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, crumbled
    • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
    • 1 pinch garlic powder
    • 1 pinch paprika powder
    • Black peppercorns, cracked, to taste
    • Table salt, to taste

  Equipment

  • 1 chef’s knife
  • 1 chopping board
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 baking tray, lined with baking paper

  Cutting and coating the chicken nuggets

  1. Cut the chicken tenderloins into smallish chunks.
  2. Melt the 2 Tbsp butter in one of the mixing bowls.
  3. Add the chicken chunks and mix until the chicken is fully coated in butter.
  4. In the second mixing bowl combine:
     • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, crumbled
     • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
     • 1 pinch garlic powder
     • 1 pinch paprika powder
     • Black peppercorns, cracked, to taste
     • Table salt, to taste
  5. Take 1 piece of chicken at a time and:
     • Put it into the bowl containing the breadcrumb mix.
     • Turn it over a few times to get a good coating.
     • Place it on an oven tray lined with baking paper.
  6. Pop the tray into the fridge for about 30 minutes.

  

  

  

  Cooking the nuggets

  1. Take the tray out of the fridge about 10 minutes before cooking.
  2. During that time preheat your fan-forced oven to 180C.
  3. Cook the nuggets for about 25 minutes aiming for them to be cooked through and a golden in colour (you could turn them over if you want mid way).

  

  Serving

  Chicken nuggets go with anything. 🙂

  Here I have served them with a green salad and a generous amount of Sriracha Hot Sauce.

  

  Enjoy,

  PK

  DryStuff: Chicken Dry Rub #1

  I think a natural progression from making dry masalas to make curry pastes is making dry rubs for roasting meat. This is the first one I have ever made and I used on an oven roast chicken along with this basting sauce as inspired by http://noblepig.com/.

  My hat off to the people over at noblepig.com you are doing amazing work :).

  You will need:

  • Ingredients:
    • 1 Tbsp ground rock salt
    • 1/4 tsp ground black peppercorns
    • 1 tsp ground paprika (I used smoked)
    • 1/4 tsp onion powder
    • 1/4 tsp kashmiri chili powder
    • 1/4 tsp tumeric powder
    • 1/4 tsp cumin powder
    • 1/4 tsp beetroot powder (for colour, I make my own here)
    • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  •  Equipment:
    • a bowl for the dry rub
    • a fork for mixing

  Steps:

  1. Bring all the ingredients together.
  2. Get distracted by how amazing it looks and smells.
  3. Mix everything together.

  

  Enjoy,

  PK
