Cheesy Hunters Chicken Pasta
Hunters chicken pasta is a great combo of sweet, salty and smokey flavours. The tomato sauce balances out the sweetness of the bbq sauce which brings out the smokey flavour of the bacon. Add some hot sauce if you'd like some extra kick!

Dessert Ravioli
How genius is this method?! You can fill these "ravioli" with all sorts of things, from fruit fillings to peanut butter and chocolate. We chose Nutella because we're obsessed with it.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 1 (14-oz.) package refrigerated pie dough
  • FOR FILLING
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ½ c. Nutella
  • ¼ c. chocolate chips, melted
  • ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 1 Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp. water)
  • Ice cube tray
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon-sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375° and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, Nutella, melted chocolate, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Flour a clean surface and roll pie dough until it's very thin (about 2 cm!). Drape pie dough over ice cube tray. Use the knuckle of your pointer finger to press the dough into the indents in the ice tray. Spoon Nutella mixture into each well of the ice cube tray, then trim the overhanging edges of the pie dough. Brush any exposed pie dough on the ice tray with egg wash.
  3. Roll out excess pie dough then place on top. Use a rolling pin to seal the two pie dough layers and trim any excess with a paring knife. Turn out onto a cutting board and cut in between each "ravioli" to separate.
  4. Place on prepared baking sheet about 2" apart, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes, and serve.

Giant Quesadilla Sloppy Joe
The origin of the sloppy joe remains shrouded in history. Was it invented by a savvy tomato sauce wielding chef in Iowa? Or, perhaps, at the Sloppy Joe Saloon in Havana. Maybe we will never know, maybe history will sink into the waves clutching its meaty secrets. Twisted will carry on regardless, casually re inventing the wheel every single day.

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp chilli powder

Traditional Vietnamese Beef Pho
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 10 lb (4.5 kg) mixed beef leg bones, shin, knuckle and marrow bones
  • 12 oz (340 g) ginger, 2 large hands, halved lengthwise
  • 1 head large garlic, halved crosswise
  • 4 kg medium yellow onion, halved lengthwise
  • 8 sticks cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (110 g) whole black peppercorn
  • 6 pods star anise
  • 1 lb (455 g) beef brisket
  • kosher salt
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) fish sauce, plus more to taste
  • 1 lb (455 g) boneless sirloin steak
  • 1 lb (455 g) flat rice noodle, cooked according to package instructions
  • 2 cups (200 g) fresh mung bean sprouts, for serving
  • 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced lengthwise, for serving
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced into thin rounds, for serving
  • 1 large bunch fresh thai basil, for serving
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving
  • hoisin sauce, for serving
  • siracha, for serving
Instructions
  1. Set a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the broiler.
  2. Place the beef bones in a large stock pot, then add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches (5 cm). Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and cook for 10 minutes to blanch the bones and remove any impurities.
  3. Drain the bones in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Return the blanched bones to the stockpot.
  4. Meanwhile, arrange the ginger, garlic, and onions cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and broil on high until the aromatics are deeply charred in spots, 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and add to the stockpot with the bones.
  5. Meanwhile, combine the cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and star anise in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the spices are darkened in spots and extremely fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the toasted spices to the stockpot.
  6. Season the brisket liberally with salt and add it to the stockpot.
  7. Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover everything by 1 inch (2 cm). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer, skimming off and discarding any fat that floats to the top as needed, until the brisket is fork-tender, 2-3 hours.
  8. Using tongs, transfer the brisket to a plate and let cool completely. Refrigerate the brisket until ready to serve.
  9. Continue to simmer the broth to get as much flavor out of the bones as possible, 3-4 hours more.
  10. Using tongs, remove and discard the bones and aromatics. Slowly strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer set over a large pot. Skim and discard the fat from the broth, then stir in the fish sauce. Taste and add more as desired.
  11. Thinly slice the brisket. Very thinly slice the raw sirloin steak against the grain.
  12. Divide the noodles among 6-8 large bowls, then top with the brisket and raw steak. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and meat and serve immediately with the bean sprouts, onion, jalapeño, Thai basil, lime wedges, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha alongside.
  13. Enjoy!

Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
Cupcakes
  • 50g cocoa powder
  • 175g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 225g caster sugar
  • 175g unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 175ml milk
Frosting
  • 1 batch chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream frosting
  • 5 drops black food gel
Instructions
Decorations
  1. tbsp silver lustre dust + 4 tbsp clear alcohol or vanilla extract
  2. silver star sprinkles to decorate
  3. Preheat a fan-forced oven to 160C (320F) or 180C (356F) for a conventional oven. Line a cupcake tin with silver foil cupcake liners. I got mine from my local cake supply store but you can grab them online. The silver liners are important to the recipe in order to complete the silver cupcake look.
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cocoa powder, plain flour, salt, bicarb soda and sugar. Turn mixer on low speed and allow it to mix for a couple minutes to help everything combine well! (alternatively you may do this by sifting the ingredients together). Add the softened butter there is no butter visible and it’s well incorporated into the dry.
  5. Next, add milk and eggs in a jug and whisk until well combined.
  6. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients in a slow and steady stream until no dry ingredients are visible. Scrape down the bowl and mix for another 20 seconds.
  7. Fill each paper ¾ of the way (using an ice cream scoop to transfer the batter into the cupcake liners makes this a quick and easy process otherwise you can use two tablespoons). Bake for 30 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before frosting.
  8. To prepare the frosting add black food gel to the chocolate buttercream and mix until well combined. It should come out a dark grey.
  9. Fit the end of a piping bag with a Wilton 8B piping tip and frost a swirl of frosting on top of your cupcakes. Chill them in the fridge for an hour so the frosting stiffens up.
  10. Add the silver lustre dust and alcohol to a small mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  11. Use a small paint brush to brush the chilled frosting with random strokes of the silver paint. Finish with a sprinkle of silver star sprinkles.

Outlandish? Check. Cheesy? Check. While we at Twisted do know what you, our fans, love, we do strive to push the boat out with a few dishes every now and then. We are therefore proud (if mildly bemused) to bring you one of our strangest ideas yet, the Croque Monsieur Toast Roll.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 50g butter
  • 50g flour
  • 350ml milk
  • 1½ tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 12 slices white bread
  • 12 slices emmental
  • 17 slices thin cut ham
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F
  2. In a large saucepan heat the butter until foaming, then add the flour and quickly stir to make a paste. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring to incorporate it, until you have a smooth sauce. Stir in the mustard, salt and pepper and set aside.
  3. Cut the crusts off the bread and lay it in a square on baking paper with each side overlapping. Use a rolling pin to roll the whole thing out, pressing the edges together to stick them. If you find this isn't working then use an equal mixture of flour and water and paint it along the joins to help stick.
  4. Spread the bechamel on the bread and then top with a layer of cheese and ham. Use the edge of the paper to roll the whole thing up.
  5. Place on a lined baking tray and brush with butter, then bake for 40 minutes until the outside is golden and toasty.
