Butter Chicken Slab Pie

Butter Chicken Slab Pie
You may know it as chicken tikka masala, murgh makhani or butter chicken. Vaguely related to a dairy heavy Punjabi dish, these incarnations have morphed into the bizarre Anglo-Indian darling of your local Indian restaurant, the undisputed queen of British colonial mash ups. It's always creamy, containing luminous chunks of charred chicken, as ubiquitous in curry houses now as bizarre mood lighting and dodgy fish tanks. Allegedly the 'original' version, born in 1950s Glasgow, contained tinned tomato soup. Whatever its murky yet spicy origins it's an undisputed classic, and works extremely nicely in a slab pie, scattered with nigella seeds for a bit of naan nostalgia.

Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
  • Chicken marinade:
  • 3 large chicken breasts, diced into 2cm chunks
  • 1 tbsp maldon salt
  • 300g yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable/groundnut oil
  • 2 tbsp tikka spice
  • The curry:
  • 3 tbsp vegetable/groundnut oil
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp garlic ginger paste
  • 300ml tomato passata
  • 3 tbsp tomato puree
  • 300ml double cream
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • juice ½ lemon
  • 3 tbsp tikka spice
  • 50g salted butter
  • 1 tsp maldon salt
  • The pie
  • 2 large sheets puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Handful nigella seeds
Instructions
  1. Mix the chopped chicken, yoghurt, salt, oil and the tikka spice. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
  2. Place on a grill tray over a baking tray and grill on the highest possible heat for around 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through and nicely charred. If you have one and you're in the mood then grill over direct heat on a charcoal grill - the results will be infinitely more delicious.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
  4. Heat the oil and butter and gently fry the onion until soft, then fry the garlic and chilli paste for a further minute. Pour in the passata and double cream and stir everything together. Add the tikka spices, sugar, butter and lemon and stir again, then add the chicken chunks and turn off the heat.
  5. Spoon the curry over one of the sheets of puff pastry (do it in a large baking tray to make your life easier), making sure the chicken is evenly distributed. Brush around the edge with egg wash and lay the other sheet of pastry on top. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with nigella seeds and bake for around half an hour until the pastry has puffed up nicely.

Spaghetti

Baked Camembert Spaghetti

Baked Camembert Spaghetti
Camembert - Normandy's cheesy darling. Apparently initially created by a farmer on the advice of a visiting priest from Brie, this oozing wonder has gone on to capture the hearts of the world. Of all France's pungent, oozing soft cheeses this for some reason seems to get people going the most, particularly when it's baked. Eating it warm and with pasta is, in our eyes at least, utter perfection.
Author:
Cuisine: Italian
Recipe type: Spaghetti
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200g streaky bacon
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 600ml double cream

  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • Splash of pasta water
  • 400g spaghetti, cooked
  • 1½ camembert, cut in half

  • 100g breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp thyme leaves
  • 20g parmesan, grated
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy based frying pan. Fry the bacon until crispy, then add the garlic and continue frying for another 30 seconds or until light brown.
  3. Pour in the double cream and add the parmesan, pepper and salt. Stir everything together to make a thick, rich sauce - add a little pasta water if its looking too thin. Add the cooked spaghetti and gently stir it in, then pour into an ovenproof dish.
  4. Cut the camembert(s) in half down the middle. Place the halves, cut side down, on top of the pasta.
  5. for 15 - 20 minutes until the cheese has melted all over the pasta.
  6. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan and fry the garlic and thyme. Add the breadcrumbs and continue frying until light brown, then scatter the parmesan in and continue stirring - don't worry if they clump together a little, they'll be extra delicious this way.
  7. Scoop the pasta into bowls and eat straight away.

Strawberries And Cream Soufflé

Strawberries And Cream Soufflé
Watch this strawberry and cream soufflé rise right up out of your dreams ✨?
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • CRÈME ANGLAISE
  • 1 cup (240 mL) milk
  • 1 cup (240 mL) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (100 g) sugar, divided
  • ½ vanilla bean, slit down the middle (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, added while cooling)
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 pinch salt
  • STRAWBERRY SOUFFLÉS
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberry, hulled and quartered
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) sugar, plus 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 4 large egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 pinch salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C)
  2. Prepare an ice bath and place a strainer over a medium bowl. Set nearby.
  3. Make the crème anglaise: In a small saucepan, heat the milk, heavy cream, ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar, and the vanilla bean pod over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until it begins to steam. Remove the pan from the heat.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, remaining ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar, and the salt and whisk together. Continue whisking and ladle in the milk mixture. Once combined, return the saucepan to medium heat, begin to whisk the milk mixture, and slowly pour in the egg mixture.
  5. Cook the custard, continuously whisking to ensure the egg yolks don’t cook on the bottom, for about 5 minutes, until it coats the the back of a spoon.
  6. Set the bowl with the strainer in the ice bath and strain the creme into the bowl. Whisk until cooled, about 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  7. Add the strawberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the lemon juice to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are softened but still vibrant red. Remove the pan from the heat.
  8. Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Use a spatula to press the berries through, making a strawberry puree. Discard the pulp and set the puree in the refrigerator to cool.
  9. Set 6 ramekins on a baking sheet and coat the insides with the softened butter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar among the ramekins and shake each to coat the bottom and sides with sugar.
  10. Add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt to a large bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Add the remaining ⅓ cup (65 g) of sugar in small increments, continuing to beat until the whites are stiff and glossy.
  11. Using a spatula, carefully fold in the strawberry puree.
  12. Fill each ramekin with the strawberry-egg white mixture and level off the tops with a butter knife. Run a clean thumb around the inside edge of each ramekin to allow the soufflés to rise properly.
  13. Bake the soufflés for 10-12 minutes, until the tops are light brown. Avoid opening the oven prematurely, so the soufflés don’t fall.
  14. Serve the soufflés immediately with the crème anglaise poured over the top.
  15. Enjoy!

Brownies:
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Dipping chocolate:
  • Colored candy melts
  • Dark chocolate candy melts
  • Coconut oil
  • Sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
Bake the brownies:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and line an 11x17-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small pot set over low heat, melt butter and cocoa powder, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together sugar, flour, walnuts and salt.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cookie Pie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cookie Pie
Eye on the pies - we're hypnotized.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • For the cookie crust:
  • 1½ sticks butter, softened
  • 1¾ cups sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 5 cups flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup peanut butter
  • For the pie filling:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1½ cups smooth peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. For the cookie crust: In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the salt and eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and almond extracts. Slowly incorporate the flour until the dough is even. Remove half of the dough and set aside. Mix the cocoa powder into the remaining dough and set aside.
  2. Wrap the chocolate dough and the vanilla almond dough separately in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the two chilled doughs and trim them to be the exact same size. Gently spread the peanut butter over the vanilla almond dough and then top with the sheet of chocolate dough. Carefully roll the two doughs together, sandwiching the peanut butter between the layers and taking care to avoid any gaps in the dough. Wrap the rolled cookie dough log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.
  4. Line a 9-inch pie tin with parchment paper, and trace a 9-inch circle onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place on a cookie sheet.
  5. Once well chilled, gently slice the chilled log into ¼-inch slices. Place the cookies into the prepared pie tin and press gently. Overlap the cookies slightly to ensure that a crust is created without holes. Cover the 9-inch round circle with cookie slices as well. Place the crusts in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  6. Bake the cookie crusts for about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  7. For the filling: Whip the cream to stiff peaks and set aside. Mix all other ingredients in a medium bowl until well incorporated. Fold in the whipped cream. Fill the cookie pie crust with peanut butter pie filling and top with the circle crust. Place in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. Cut and serve chilled.
