Richly flavoured with bacon, white wine, mushrooms, and herbs, this soul-soothing chicken casserole is just the thing for a chilly winter evening.
A comforting, veg-packed, one-pan dinner, this hot pot teams spicy pork sausages with tomato, pepper, carrot and garlic for a delicious combination of sweet, spicy and earthy flavours.
A filling, hearty meal for a winter’s night, Mary uses neck fillet here, bulked out with sweet potato, beans and tomatoes, and cooked low and slow until beautifully tender. Spiced with cumin and lifted with a little mango chutney, this is full of flavour.
Think of this as a rich veggie cottage pie, but rather than mash on top, Mary’s opted for crispy golden chunks of cheesy potato and sweet potato.
Tender, melt-in-the-mouth lamb, cooked in a flavoursome gravy and vegetables and topped with slices of crispy potato.
Nothing beats a rich beef stew, unless, of course, it’s topped with what Mary calls “savoury Chelsea bun-dumplings”. Parsley and horseradish are smothered onto rectangles of suet dough, rolled up like a Swiss roll, sliced and plonked onto this one-pot dinner, then cooked until puffed up and gloriously golden.
Mary combines neck fillet with earthy, punchy spices, dried apricots, preserved lemon, harissa, and chickpeas in her spin on the classic Moroccan dish of tagine. This quick version is ready in just an hour.
