Parboil the broccoli so that it's not too crunchy, carrots too if you're using them. Start by frying the peppers to soften them, releasing their juices as they begin to caramelise, then add the rest of your vegetables and tofu, moving them over a very hot wok for 3 or 4 minutes. </blockquote>

<br />
<a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/mayo-range" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/mayo-range" border="0" data-original-height="585" data-original-width="592" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpfC3btvPwIpfDN1wjXqagej4Zde1iqrQa_1pkUzr-HPLRA6j9XDEykpjj4Z3bX8cMlu8thZVHCcp45rZePNjkjiJfNEnd-5ucahWgEvXNXch7__1QNcqHqHpwBXqGmHBeXSO3_LrDKQQ/s400/new+np+6149.jpg" width="400" /></a>In culinary references we are more familiar with the term Skate Wings. For conservation reasons, we're now more likely to find Ray as opposed to Skate Wings. It's pretty much the same thing - delicious, versatile and easy to cook.<br />
<br />
They're easy to eat too. Despite the fact they are on the bone, the meat scrapes off it easily and can be served on the bone or lifted off its solid fan-like structure before plating.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wings with Caper & Dill Butter</b></span><br />
<br />
A 225g wing per person is the ideal weight. They are so easy to divide, breaking a larger wing into two smaller servings simply by cutting it with scissors from the feathery tip to the thicker end where the bones join.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
To poach the wings, bring a shallow pan of vegetable or chicken stock up to a rolling boil with slices of fennel and celery bathing in it. Pop the fish in and simmer for 10 minutes or so, until the meat turns white and easily flakes from the thicker end of the wing. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
After 7 minutes, ladle 2 or 3 good spoonfuls of the stock into a pan adding 120g of butter (at least), a small glass of white wine, 2 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/product/special-sauces/mustard-and-dill-sauce" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Mustard & Dill Sauce</b></a> and 2 tbsp of rinsed, strained capers. Whisk this all together, reducing the volume as the butter melts and spoon it over the fish as you serve.</blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>With Mushroom Sauce</b></span><br />
<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Poach the Ray Wings as above and scrape the meat off the bone for serving (as pictured) or on the bone with the sauce spooned over it. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Fry an assortment of sliced mushrooms in butter with 2 grated cloves of garlic, a couple of glugs of our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Brown Sauce</b></a> and a wee sprinkle of thyme leaves for 3 or 4 minutes, then lift the 'rooms', setting them aside to keep warm. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Stir 2 tsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Dijon Mustard</b></a> into the cooking juices then deglaze the pan with a glass (150ml) of white wine. Stir in 150ml of crème fraîche, heating it through as the flavours marry before adding the mushrooms and their juices back. Season, mix well and serve the sauce with your fish. </blockquote>

<br />
We make the flavour-packed background sauce first then bake the fish on top. There's a major taste bud alert with this one.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Start by making a rough tapenade</b> (no blender) by chopping together the following tasty mixture: 200g of stoned Kalamata olives, 2 tbsp of rinsed, drained capers, 2 anchovy fillets, 1 grated garlic clove, 2 tbsp of Stokes smoky warm <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Chipotle Ketchup</b></a>, 2 tsp of fresh thyme leaves, the juice of a lime and 5 tbsp of good olive oil. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>For the tomato base</b>, soften 1 diced onion in olive oil for 7 minutes then add 2 grated cloves of garlic for a further 3 minutes. Pour 1 tin of chopped tomatoes and a glass of red wine into the onions with 1 (or 2) tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/chutneys-and-relishes" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Chilli Jam</b></a> and 1 beef stock bouillon.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Let this reduce and the flavours intensify for 10 minutes than lay the Ray Wings on top.

As you have probably learned by now, we like to keep things simple.<br />
<br />
These soups are no different - simple ingredients, a simple hand blender, super Stokes sauces for added 'wow' and a hunk of good bread or simple sandwich.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Smoky Tomato Soup</b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Very simply, dice and gently fry 1 onion for 6 or 7 minutes to soften it. Add 4 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Tomato Ketchup</b></a>, 2 tbsp of our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Chipotle Ketchup</b></a> and 1 tsp of our grownup <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Brown Sauce</b></a>. Stir this into the onions then add 1 can of chopped tomatoes and 750ml of vegetable stock. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Boil the combined ingredients, tasting to season - black pepper and 1 tsp of brown sugar should balance the acidity (I like a splash of orange juice too). Blend everything together with a hand blender, taste and adjust the flavours if you need too (more ketchup perhaps). </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[<b>TIP</b>: If you want your soup a little thicker, add 1 small can of rinsed, drained cannellini beans, blending them into the soup for creamy body.] </blockquote>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" border="0" data-original-height="585" data-original-width="593" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1jn0c6RXsSh5FF0KX2vITqEYdkhBbglF-8s1PUMR5qcoGJf2JsZ7QqXkXASFQg2XWT1raNfv5a1VOWj0ZjZ_G5JHTGsc9VVxU57Pmj_MH_rji3bTvj7yQqvsRsrA4x8F1w-c4rvg74m8/s320/new+np+6150.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Spring Minestrone</b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Soften half a finely diced onion in a little butter then add a can of chopped tomatoes, half a grated carrot, 750ml of vegetable stock and 2 grated cloves of garlic. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Let this cook for 5 minutes than add 1 pack of mixed frozen vegetables and 1 can of rinsed, drained 5 bean salad combination (add more stock if you need it). </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As this simmers, season the soup and add <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Bloody Mary Ketchup</b></a> to taste - 3 or 4 tbsp should raise the taste bar to the perfect height. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
When you're happy with the flavours, serve your simple minestrone with shavings of Parmesan cheese.</blockquote>
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Beautiful Beetroot</b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Soften 1 diced onion and 1 stick of finely chopped celery in butter for 5 minutes then add 2 grated cloves of garlic. Pour in 750ml of vegetable stock and simmer for 10 minutes. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Now add 3 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/product/relish-and-chutneys/beetroot-relish" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Beetroot Relish</b></a>, 2 tbsp of our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Tomato Ketchup</b></a> and 1 vacuum pack of cooked beetroots (diced). Cover and cook for 12 minutes then blend and pass through a strainer for a smooth liquor. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Cube the contents of another pack of cooked beetroot and finely slice (use a mandolin) 1 peeled, cored apple adding both to the soup. Warm this through for 5 minutes or so, check the seasoning and serve with soured cream and a few fresh herbs - chopped chives and fennel fronds.</blockquote>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Vegetable Soup</b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Soften 1 diced onion and 1 or 2 chopped celery stalks in butter or oil for several minutes before stirring in 2 tsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Classic English Mustard</b></a> then 750ml (add more later if it's needed) of vegetable stock (use 2 stock bouillons for a richer flavour). </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As this starts to simmer, ribbon (using a peeler) 2 carrots and 2 courgettes. Add the carrots to the simmering stock for 8 minutes before adding the courgette and a pack of frozen broad beans, simmering for 5 minutes more. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Season well, adding fresh basil and mint leaves with 2 tsp of Stokes delightfully sweet <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Mint Sauce</b></a>. Take the pot off the heat, lid on and let the flavours marry for a couple of minutes before serving. </blockquote>

It's St. David's Day on 1st March so expect things to be extra noisy at the rugby this weekend. St George had better be on his guard.<br />

Make a roux with equal amounts of butter and flour (50g of each approx.) then gradually add 250ml of warmed beer.

Gently fry to soften 120g of finely sliced leeks for 10 minutes. While this is happening, mix 100g of breadcrumbs with a good handful of chopped parsley, 1 tsp of thyme leaves and 150g of Caerphilly cheese in a bowl.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Spoon the leeks into the breadcrumb bowl with the mustardy egg yolks, beating everything together, then divide the mixture into 8 sausage-shaped portions. Line a tray with cling film, sitting the sausages on top. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Whisk the egg whites in a bowl and sprinkle 40g of breadcrumbs onto a plate. One at a time, dunk the sausages in the egg then coat well with the breadcrumbs. When all 8 are well coated, chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes. When you're ready, fry the sausages in a little oil for 8 - 10 minutes until crispy and brown all over. Serve with a salad and the <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/chutneys-and-relishes" target="_blank"><b>Chilli Red Onion Marmalade</b></a> (above).</blockquote>

The argument is that a true pie has a pastry bottom, sides <i><b>and </b></i>top.<br />
<br />
Where does that leave Shepherd's Pies and Fish Pies - out on the street according to traditionalists. And what of casseroles with a pastry top - pot pies - so popular on pub food menus. Again, not the real deal they say.<br />
<br />
Well, we're not purists and, as you'll know from the tasty twists in many of our sauces, we're not always traditionalists - <b>we just like things simple, honest and above all ... tasty</b>.<br />

<b>The Pork Pie</b> is a true British classic. It is usually
eaten at room temperature and consists of a thick and crumbly hot water crust pastry
encasing a roughly chopped, highly seasoned pork filling.<br />
<br />
For me, the best bit is the pork bone-stock jelly that lines the pastry sides.<br />
<br />
After quite a battle in the European Court between Northern Foods and representatives of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association over 'protected status', the name <b>Melton Mowbray</b> can now only be applied to uncured pork-filled
pies cooked without supporting hoops and made within a 10.8 square mile zone around the Melton Mowbray.<br />

For the best potato cakes, bake 4 potatoes in the oven for a couple of hours (the proper way), scoop out the fluffy white potato and mash it well.

<b>Real Bread Week</b> (22nd February to 1st March) is an international celebration of additive-free bread, those that make it and those who seek it out.<br />
<br />
The latter is the tricky bit, as there are so few independent bakers left, certainly not on the high street.<br />
<br />
<b>So it's a great excuse to head off to garden centres, farm shops and other independent centres of 'real food' excellence - the sort of place you're most likely to find Stokes' Sauces, Condiments and Relishes.</b><br />

Shape the risen dough into 10 or 12 round buns then flatten them, pushing the dough out with the palm of your hand into ovals about 3cm thick.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>By Bread Alone</b></span><br />
<br />
Real Bread comes in so so many shapes, sizes, national representations and cultural centrepieces. What we put on it, between its slices; what we wrap in it, toast with it, grill, bake and roast with it, is equally broad and culturally significant.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
An English Breakfast in an English Breakfast Muffin served with signature English <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Brown Sauce</b></a> so deliciously interpreted by so English an independent producer as Stokes. </blockquote>

British pork in the form of sausages, bacon, black pudding with runny yolk from British free range eggs and <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Tomato Ketchup</b></a>.</blockquote>
Italian ciabatta, American rye bread, Persian pita, Egyptian sourdough, Irish soda bread, Mexican tortillas - all wait for toppings and fillings inspired by our taste buds and '<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>made better</i></span>' by Stokes. <br />

Far, far more exciting than it sounds, this is a rustic Italian savoury cake, using stale bread soaked in milk and seasoning then baked with cheese, ham and tomatoes.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Cut about 300g of stale bread into small cubes, lay them in a flat baking dish and soak it with a couple of glasses of milk. Use a spoon to break the bread down, adding 2 eggs and 40g of grated Parmesan. Season and form the mixture into a dough. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Spoon half the dough into a large, deep frying pan, flattening it down with a spoon or spatula. Make a very thick cheese sauce stirring <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Classic English Mustard</b></a> into it for a warming finish. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Now, lay slices of ham onto the dough, then a layer of tomatoes and 3 or 4 tbsp of our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Bloody Mary Tomato Ketchup</b></a> with oregano and basil then the thick cheese sauce on top. Spoon the rest of the dough onto this flavour packed layer, pressing it down, particularly around the edges, with the spatula. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Put the pan into a medium oven for 7 or 8 minutes. Turn it out onto a plate then carefully slide it (the other way up) back into the pan and into the oven for 7 minutes more, until browned all over. Serve your Stale Bread Cake with a salad end enjoy the most amazing real bread meal you will ever have tasted. </blockquote>

It was the Victorians we thank for the habit of signing a Valentine's card with an 'X' as they considered it bad luck to sign their actual name.<br />

Today we say '<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>I love you</i></span>' with these tasty breakfast ideas - something to share this weekend.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Whisk 2 or 3 eggs together with 80ml of full cream milk and 40ml of double cream. Pour this over 4 thick slices of brioche, letting them soak up the creamy mixture on both sides for 3 or 4 minutes. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
While the slices are frying in a little oil for a few minutes until golden brown and crisp, dot the soft upper side with <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/chutneys-and-relishes" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Chilli Jam</b></a> before turning them and frying that side. </blockquote>

Shop-bought waffles make an easy alternative to toast. Here, we toast them until crisp, tear them and keep them warm. </blockquote>

Take the meat from the skin of 2 or 3 butcher's sausages, smash it up on a plate, add 1 or 2 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/product/shop/breakfast-collection" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Brown Sauce</b></a>
and break the meat into smaller pieces. Put the sausage meat onto a
baking tray then bake it in a hot oven until it becomes well coloured
and slightly crunchy. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Dress
the plate with crunchy broken waffles, sausage crumbs and a poached (or
fried) egg. Finish with a good drizzle of hollandaise sauce - try this instant 'mock' hollandaise
sauce recipe, below.</blockquote>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Instant 'Mock' Hollandaise - Stokes Style</b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Mix 4 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/mayo-range" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Real Mayonnaise</b></a> with 1 or 2 tsp (to taste) of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments"><b>Stokes
Dijon Mustard</b></a> and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Beat this together and add 2 tbsp of melted butter. Whisk this vigorously to avoid it splitting. </blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For this dish, use the hollandaise sauce as above or, to marry with the smoked salmon, use 1 or 2 tsp (to taste) of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/cooking-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Mustard & Dill Sauce</b></a> instead of the Dijon mustard.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Then, basically toast a couple of muffins, spread a little of our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/mayo-range" target="_blank"><b>Real Mayonnaise</b></a> on them, top with smoked salmon and a poached egg. </blockquote>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Scallops & Scrambled Eggs </b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Scallops take no time at all to cook so start with the eggs. Scramble them as you would normally, but add a little twist to make supper better still by stirring 2 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/mayo-range" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Garlic Mayonnaise</b></a> into the eggs as they begin to firm up. This gives them the additional flavour of a gentle aioli. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Whilst a little oil and butter heat up in a pan, put a couple of dollops of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Chipotle Ketchup</b></a> onto a saucer. Dip one side of each scallop into the smoky chipotle sauce, then gently put them into the hot pan with plenty of room between them. We want them to sear and caramelise, not poach. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
45 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds on one side (depending on their thickness), then over for 45 seconds on the other. The gentle, warm smokiness complement the scallops' wonderful ocean flavour with the aioli scramble on the side - delicious.</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" border="0" data-original-height="584" data-original-width="592" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0dyoGZGw64FJBh0_wGRySU9scBb9Flogvz90hrqRkw88M96N5aF1lkbtbVl25JVv3qfjXoVrv2t3YvPCerQJh_HnZ0_8pWaH6DAnvudaQ3dWwjgNfndc5FtAWrWh8HuW-VBd2qCVti2g/s320/new+np+6098.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chicken & Mushroom Pasta</b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Use chestnut mushrooms roughly chopped or torn, fried gently in butter with garlic and thyme. Gently crush the garlic, bruise the cloves so they can easily be removed - it's the gentle infusion we want rather than pungent power. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Roast a couple of chicken breasts, skin on, then set them aside, wrapped in foil, until the pasta and sauce are ready. Remove the skin before slicing the meat into the pasta, we left it on to keep the chicken moist. Cook the spaghetti to the pack's instructions. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>For the sauce</b>: In a pan, reduce 150ml of white wine and splash of brandy by half, then stir in 2 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Cider & Horseradish Wholegrain Mustard</b></a>. Reduce the heat and add 150ml of double cream together with about 30g of Parmesan cheese and season. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Just before draining the pasta, scoop out a cup of the cooking water and set it aside. Add the drained pasta to the sauce, coating it well. If it is too thick, add some of the pasta water little by little until the consistency looks right. Serve up with the mushrooms and chicken, with a further grating of cheese over the top.</blockquote>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chocolate Bonbons</b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Break up 180g of white chocolate and put it in a pan with 10g of desiccated coconut and 2 good tsp of <span class="st">crème fraîche plus 2 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/jams-and-marmalade" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Lemon Curd</b></a>.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="st">Once smooth, tip the mixture into a bowl and chill it in the fridge for about 3 hours.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="st"> Once chilled, spoon small portions onto a plate and roll them in coconut flakes forming coconut covered lemon flavoured white chocolate bonbons. A yummy treat to finish.</span> </blockquote>

I get really excited in February. For one thing it's a short month, meaning March is on the horizon with Spring just around the corner. Lambs are already in the fields. And supermarkets are filling up with new season 'freshness'.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Chicken Milanese</b></span><br />
<br />
Well almost - just add garlic wilted spinach for the real deal.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Butterfly a chicken breast each, sit it between two sheets of greaseproof paper and beat them out into 'chicken thins'. Dust each with flour before dunking them in a couple of beaten eggs then coat well with breadcrumbs. Fry the coated chicken in garlic infused oil for just 2 or 3 minutes each side and set them aside to rest and keep warm. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Garnish with pitted olives, sliced tomatoes, finely sliced red onion and a scattering of thyme leaves. Now dress the dish with equal amounts of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/mayo-range" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Olive & Balsamic Dressing</b></a> and orange juice, together with 1 tsp of our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Classic English</b></a> or <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Dijon Mustard</b></a>, whisked together with a pinch of salt and twist of pepper. </blockquote>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Roast Cauliflower</b></span><br />

Cooked long and low, it truly is a joy for the taste buds.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Trim a whole cauliflower of its green outer leaves and cut a cross into the thick end of its base stem. Now, you can season it in so many ways before roasting. Try this as a tasty option. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Make a rub</b> by combining <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Tomato Ketchup</b></a> and our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Wholegrain Cider & Horseradish Mustard</b></a>, with Harissa spices, lemon juice and olive oil.

The little beetroot hearts reflect romance on a plate.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Make a sensational salad using thin slices of cooked beetroot, red onion, fennel, blood oranges, toasted pine nuts and fresh coriander, drizzled with <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/product/mayonnaise/raspberry-and-balsamic-dressing" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Raspberry & Balsamic Dressing</b></a>. For the salmon, mix <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Original BBQ Sauce</b></a> with fresh blood orange juice, a splash of soy sauce and some freshly grated ginger. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Brush salmon steaks with the marinade and grill them under a medium heat or bake in the oven. The salmon takes on the smoky aromatics of its marinade, which balances so well with the sweet acidity of the dressing. </blockquote>

Blood Oranges are just coming into season so we thought we'd share a few delicious ideas in this week's Newsletter to help you get the most from this intensely flavoursome fruit.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fennel Salad</b></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Slice and braise the fennel in a little water, butter and white wine. Retain the feathery fronds for decoration. Meanwhile peel and segment a beautiful blood orange. Assemble the softened fennel with segments of orange, chopped chives, fennel fronds and pitted sliced Kalamata olives, with a spoonful of Burrata or Mozzarella cheese on top. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>For the dressing</b>, whisk Blood Orange juice with a pinch of salt and <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/mayo-range" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Olive & Balsamic Dressing</b></a> to taste. For a salty twist, add slivers of Italian salami or Prosciutto.</blockquote>

This weekend celebrates the Yorkshire Pudding. Up and down the country, households will wait in anticipation of the magic batter rising as the gravy simmers.<br />
<br />
The love affair with this glorious pudding is particularly keen 'up north', where my own family members will make them and eat them the proper way - <span style="color: #741b47;"><i>rate big'uns as starter wi' gravy</i></span>.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For light, crisp, risen Yorkshires it is best to use goose fat or a light oil. The goose fat holds a higher heat and gives the puddings a wonderful flavour.<br />
<br />
Having equal volume of eggs, milk and flour (plain) is the trick to making them rise:</blockquote>

<li>140g of plain flower</li>
<li>4 eggs</li>

Except for the little known Hoggan in Cornwall and equally rare Staffordshire Oatcake, England doesn't really feature its own flatbreads which, in one form or another, are a global food culture elsewhere. We have though adopted and adapted this versatile sustenance to deliciously versatile effect.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Flatbread 'Pizza' Toppings</b></span><br />
<br />
You need a hot oven, shop-bought flat breads or flour tortillas, imagination and <b><a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank">Stokes Sauces, Relishes & Condiments</a></b>. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Try chopped mushrooms, red onions, red peppers and sweetcorn on flatbread spread with our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Tomato Ketchup</b></a> combined with <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Original BBQ Sauce</b></a>. Scatter grated cheese over the top and bake until crisp and smoky hot. If you like a little chilli heat, add 1 or 2 tsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/chutneys-and-relishes" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Chilli Jam</b></a>. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Slices of cooked chicken, smoked streaky bacon, with red onion, fresh coriander and grated cheese on <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Hot & Spicy BBQ Sauce</b></a> is amazing - the flavours of Hunters Chicken on a fiery flatbread pizza.. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For a lighter snack, open a pitta bread, fill it with <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/chutneys-and-relishes" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Red Onion Marmalade</b></a>, slices of crispy sweet apple and brie-style cheese warmed though in the oven for lunch.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>For the sauce:</b> soften 2 diced shallots and 2 grated cloves of garlic with 1 tsp of dried mixed herbs. Add 1 tin of chopped tomatoes, 500ml of beef stock, 2 tsp of Harissa spices, 4 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Bloody Mary Ketchup</b></a> and a splash of red wine. Bring this up to boil, then simmer to reduce the volume by half. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[<b>TIP</b>: For a smooth classic sauce, blitz it with a hand blender when it first comes to the boil.] </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>For the meatballs:</b> spoon 2 tbsp of our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/chutneys-and-relishes" target="_blank"><b>Red Onion Marmalade</b></a> and 2 or 3 tsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/chutneys-and-relishes" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Chilli Jam</b></a> into 400g of minced beef and roll 20 balls from the mixture. Fry them in olive oil, moving them around constantly to brown evenly all over. It's easier to do a few at a time then set each batch aside. Pop them into the simmering sauce for 10 minutes while cooking the spaghetti to the pack's instructions and enjoy. </blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Souper Salmon</b></span><br />

is a classic French sauce but without the effort of a true blanquette.
It is a creamy sauce thickened with a roux.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Melt 50g of butter in a large pan then beat in 50g of flour to a creamy roux.

As this is thickening, stir in half a tub of Philly-style cream cheese. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Cut 3 or 4 salmon steaks into bite-size chunks with a few sliced stems of spring onion. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Season with salt and pepper and simmer gently until the fish is cooked. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This is as easy as it gets and absolutely delicious with rice, pasta or new potatoes. </blockquote>

The Sunday Roast is a great occasion. Family gathering, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds - aaaahh!<br />
<br />
The
kitchen steams as the vegetables bubble and that unique aroma of
roasting meat gradually builds and moves from room to room, telling all
that lunch will soon be ready.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Here's a tasty tip for a succulent, moist chicken. </b>Spatchcock the bird first for even cooking and rub the skin with <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/mayo-range" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Real Mayonnaise</b></a> for a shiny, crispy skin.<br />
<br />
Now,
make a 'fresh' trivet using celery, fennel, and citrus fruit. Pour in
water to a level just below the trivet and pop the bird on top. <br />
<br />
Cover for 20 minutes then uncover for the remaining 20 to 30 minutes until the skin is crispy brown and the juices run clear. It part steams, part roasts for the juiciest chicken you'll have tasted and the best gravy stock you will ever have made. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[<b>TIP</b>: The 'vegetable trivet' works so well with slow roast shoulder of lamb too.]</blockquote>

What is it that stops the sweet potato being my go to 'filler' instead of potatoes, pasta and rice? I honestly don't know - because they are delicious, however they're cooked<span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="e24Kjd"> and they are so good for you too.</span></span><br />

<span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="e24Kjd">This is a tasty, pretty looking filling combining crumbly feta cheese, sweetcorn, cooked puy lentils, avocado and, adding a very different dimension, using pickled red cabbage for colour and kick.

Almost anything goes as far as the vegetables are concerned here. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Try this:</b> get a tin of green beans, a jar of roast red peppers, a deli counter tub of roast artichokes and olives. That's lots of flavour, colour and texture to add to the rice base. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Heat some rapeseed oil in a large pan to fry 1 finely diced onion, 2 chopped sticks of celery and half a sliced fennel bulb. After 5 minutes, add 2 grated cloves of garlic, 1 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Cider & Horseradish Mustard</b></a> and a good dollop or three of our <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Tomato Ketchup</b></a>. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Coat 150g of paella rice in the oil and vegetables before pouring a glass of white wine and 600ml of vegetable stock into the pan with a little saffron and a couple of bay leaves. Stir everything together, bring to the boil and simmer for 12 minutes. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Drain and slice your tinned, jar and deli ingredients, adding them to the rice base (with a drop of water if it looks too dry), season, lid on and let it steam through for 5 minutes more.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Finely slice 2 onions, grate 3 cloves of garlic and 1 carrot. Fry these in oil for 5 minutes with 1 tsp of Italian dried herbs and 1 tsp of dried oregano. Add 150g of green lentils to the pan with 600ml of vegetable stock and 1 tin of chopped tomatoes. Boil, cover, simmer for 10 minutes or so. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
While this is simmering, slice 200g of sweet potatoes and 1 large or 2 small aubergines, drizzle with oil and roast them in the oven for 25 minutes until they are tender. Stir 4 tbsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/ketchup-and-sauces" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Tomato Ketchup</b></a> into the lentils then begin to layer the ingredients into an ovenproof dish - potatoes, lentils, aubergine, potatoes, lentils, aubergine etc. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Finally mix 150g of <span class="st">crème fraîche, an egg, grated cheddar cheese and 1 tsp of <a href="http://www.stokessauces.co.uk/page/sauces/traditional-condiments" target="_blank"><b>Stokes Classic English Mustard</b></a>, beating everything together before spooning it over the moussaka, finished with more grated cheese on the top.
