Turkey Winter Warmer

StarterServes 4

# Place all the stock ingredients together in a deep pan and cover with cold water, then bring to the boil. # Simmer for 45 minutes to extract the flavour from the carcass. # Skim any grease or fat that rises to the top. # Place the pearl barley in cold water (approximately 2 pints) and boil until soft with a bay leaf and some salt. # Rinse in a sieve under a warm tap until all the stickiness is removed. # Fry the bacon, onion, carrot, celery, and parsnips in some vegetable oil with the bay leaves and chopped herbs then add the stock (approximately 3 pints) and simmer until the vegetables are almost cooked. This will take approximately 10 minutes. # Add the sweet potato and the cooked pearl barley and the cooked turkey pieces. # To make the 4 Wensleydale cheese croutons, cut out 4 circles from the 2 slices of bread using a pastry cutter and place them on a tray. Pour olive oil onto the bread circles and toast under a grill until brown. Place the Wensleydale cheese on top and grill again until toasted.

Smoked Hungarian Style Sausage, Chicken and Butter Bean Stew

Main courseServes 4

Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown in a preheated casserole in a little olive oil. This will take around 5 minutes on each side to develop some colour. Remove to a plate and add the roughly diced onion, carrot and celery to the same pan. Cook for ten minutes stirring as the vegetables soften. Add the garlic, chilli, smoked paprika, bay leaf and thyme and continue to cook briefly before adding the sausages. Cook over a medium heat allowing the sausages to flavour the vegetables. Add in the tomato purée and cook for a further 2 minutes, splash in the wine, allow to bubble briefly before adding the tomatoes, and a splash of water. Next return the chicken to the pan, stir to combine and place on a tight fitting lid. Transfer to the preheated oven for 30 minutes, remove, add the butter beans and stir in, before replacing the casserole, this time without the lid, for a further twenty minutes. At this stage reduce the sauce on the stove top if necessary, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in a handful of chopped flat leaf parsley and serve.
