Nigel Slater’s grilled pork belly, spring onions and quick romesco recipe

The recipe Toast 50g of flaked almonds in a dry frying pan until golden. Drain a 350g jar of red peppers then put them in a blender, add the almonds, 1 tbsp of sherry vinegar and 5 tbsp of olive oil. Process until you have a thick, rough and orange-red paste. Check the seasoning (salt, vinegar, pepper) then set aside. Warm a griddle pan. Season, oil then lightly brown 450g of pork belly slices (approximately 15cm in length and 4cm thick) on both sides. While the pork is cooking, toss 200g of slim spring onions in olive oil then put them on the grill turning them regularly. They should blacken here and there. Spoon some of the pepper sauce on to plates, add the grilled onions and the pork steaks. Enough for 2.

Annabel Crabb's passionfruit curd meringue cake recipe

This is a cake that looks handsome on the plate. There are effectively six layers, but because the meringue-topped sponges are baked together, the assembly is simpler than it sounds. The passionfruit curd recipe makes about 320g (1 cup), which is plenty to fill the cake. But do consider doubling it; passionfruit curd is a good thing to have in the fridge. Passionfruit curd meringue cake serves 8 125g unsalted butter, softened 330g caster sugar 4 large eggs, separated 70g Greek-style yoghurt 1 tsp vanilla paste 150g plain flour 25g cornflour 1½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp cream of tartar 125ml thickened (whipping) cream Icing sugar, to decorate – optional Passionfruit curd 55g caster sugar 2 eggs, plus 1 yolk extra 60g unsalted butter, cubed Pulp and juice from 4 passionfruit, strained 1 tbsp lemon juice Preheat the oven to 180C.

Rachel Roddy’s farro, pumpkin and chestnut soup recipe

Today’s recipe was made from gifts: a packet of vacuum-sealed chestnuts I was given to taste, a bundle of sage from an friend’s garden in Camden brought back to Rome in my rucksack, and a bag of farro from the best wine merchant in Rome, Antonio, who got it from Pacina in Castelnuovo Beradenga in Tuscany, where it grows abundantly. An early form of wheat, and sometimes called emmer wheat (not to be confused with spelt, which is also wheat, but a different genetic variation), farro was a staple grain in early Roman times thanks to its transportability, high protein content, vitamins and slow release of energy. Roman soldiers marched, built and fought on farro, I tell my legionnaire- and gladiator-fixated son, who doesn’t look keen, pushing away the “funny rice”. Looking like a cross between a caraway seed and grape pip when dry, farro does look rather like plump and sturdy brown rice when cooked. It has a mild, nutty taste, and it is this inherent nuttiness that some people dislike ...
