QUICK RECIPE TIPS FROM JANET

SWEET PEPPER RELISH:  for a dip or as an alternative to mayonnaise:
Soften a tub of Philapdelphia Cream cheese.  Empty into a small bowl.  Cream the cheese with a fork.  Gradually add in some Sweet Pepper Relish and blend until smooth with fork.  Cover & refrigerate.  This will keep for more than a week.  As a lunch-box spread, a topping for baked potatoes or bar b q steaks……………..deee…licious !!

TOMATO & CHILLI SALSA:  lightly panfry chicken breasts & then transfer to a roasting dish.  Pour over Tomato & Chilli Salsa & transfer to a hot oven. Bake for 20 minutes.  Remove & sprinkle grated cheddar  or slivers of mozzarella over dish.  Pop back in the oven.  When cheese has melted, serve with boiled rice or warm ciabatta.

SCRUMMY PLUM CHUTNEY: with duck.  Pan fry duck breasts.  Transfer to a warm dish.  Add a little wine and Scrummy Plum Chutney to the pan juices.  Stir and heat through and voila plum sauce for duck !

APRICOT & GINGER CHUTNEY:  Roast Chicken with a difference……. Roast a chicken.  Pour off the cooked juices into a pot.  Add some chutney and single cream.  Stir.  Heat through & in minutes you will have a delicious sauce for roast chicken.  A wonderfully simple alternative to gravy.

BEETROOT BLUSH: for a snack or starter course:  with a circular biscuit cutter, cut out circles of sliced bread.  Toast lightly.  Pan fry slices of black pudding.  Place black pudding slices on the toast circles.  Top with a spoonful of Beetroot Blush & a dollop of crème fraiche or mascarpone cheese.

With topside / fillet of beef :  heat up Beetroot blush in the microwave ( remove lid from jar !).  Mix a little horseradish with crème fraiche.  Serve the warmed Beetroot Blush with a teaspoon of the horseradish crème fraiche on top.  Scrumptiously different !!

FIG & APRICOT CHUTNEY:  with croistini – toast thin slices of French stick.  Place slices of parma ham or slices of salami on top.  Spread Fig & Apricot Chutney over the meat slices & finish with a sprig of tarragon.

Stuffed roast Lap of Lamb or stuffed roast Pork: Mix Fig & Apricot Chutney with breadcrumbs and stuff your meat as you would normally do.
Very posh !!

SUMMER SUNSHINE: a deliciously light & citrusy dressing.  Instead of adding mayonnaise, dress a waldorf salad or coleslaw with Summer Sunshine.

Lightly steam a mixture of green beans, broccoli spears, mang tous & sugar snaps.  Refresh immediately under cold water.  Drain well.  Pop into a serving dish & dress with Summer Sunshine -- & even nicer if you heat up the dressing beforehand.  Very healthy !

REALLY GOOD KETCHUP / SMART ASS SAUCE :  use as a pizza base sauce or a cook-in sauce with meatballs.

MANGO CHUTNEY: mix Mango chutney, chopped fresh chives & breadcrumbs together.  Spread on one side of mackerel fillets.  Then fold over the other side & transfer to a roasting dish.  Bake until cooked.  Deliciously healthy & good for the cholesterol !!

RED ONION MARMALADE: we all love it served with goats cheese but try serving with mashed potato or put a teaspoon on top of individual Yorkshire puddings.
