LAMB, CHICKPEA & SPINACH CURRY WITH MASALA MASH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, cook the lamb until browned all over for about 10 mins, then remove from the pan. Cook the onion in the same pan until golden brown, about 5 mins. Stir through the ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander, then cook for 2 mins more until you smell the spices. Return the lamb to the pan, pour over the tomatoes, bring to the boil, then leave to simmer over a gentle heat for 11⁄2 hrs until the meat is really tender. Top up with a little boiling water if the sauce becomes too dry. Add in the chickpeas and garam masala, then simmer for 5 mins more. Stir through spinach and cook until wilted slightly then season to taste.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes until softened, about 15 mins. Drain and mash. Stir through the curry paste and yogurt, and serve alongside the curry.

SPLIT PEA AND SPINACH MASH

Steps:

• Place green split peas in a colander and wash and drain several times. Drain and transfer to a medium pot and cover with 3 1⁄2 cups water. Soak for 2 hours, then bring peas and water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes. Most of water should get absorbed, but peas should be tender and moist, with a little water still in the pot. Remove peas from heat and let cool 30 minutes. In a medium frying pan, heat 1⁄4 cup cooking oil on medium-high heat for 45 seconds. Add 1 cup finely chopped onion and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic cloves and continue to sauté until golden, 2-3 minutes. Add jalapeño chili, salt and fresh spinach (with stems). Stir well and cook until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Once split pea and spinach mixtures have cooled, purée each one separately in a food processor. Process split peas until smooth, spinach until roughly puréed and slightly chunky. In a medium bowl, combine peas and spinach. Stir in sumac and dried mint.

SMOTHERED OXTAILS OVER SPINACH AND SWEET CORN MASH

Steps:

• Season the oxtails with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season with Essence. Dredge the oxtails in the flour, coating each side evenly and tapping off any excess.
• Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oxtails and cook until very brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the oxtails to a platter and set side.
• Add the onions to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons of the garlic, the bay leaves, and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and deglaze, scraping the bottom and sides to loosen any browned particles. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Return the oxtails to the pot and cook, covered, until the sauce is stewlike and the meat starts to fall off the bone, about 2 hours. Baste the oxtails often during the cooking time. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the parsley.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Season the water with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Return the potatoes to the pan over low heat and stir the potatoes for 1 minute to dry them. Add the butter and heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and mash the potatoes until slightly smooth. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium-size sauté pan over medium heat. Add the corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach and the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another minute. Fold into the mashed potatoes and keep warm.
• To serve, mound the mashed potato mixture in the center of each serving plate. Lay a few of the oxtails on top of the potatoes and spoon some of the gravy over the top.

SPINACH AND ONION MASH

Steps:

• Chop up your washed and peeled potatoes fairly small as this allows for less boiling time and makes them easier to mash. Salt the water and leave potatoes to boil until soft.
• When potatoes are about 5 minutes away from being done, begin to lightly fry up some finely chopped onions. When they're soft, add 4-5 balls of frozen spinach. (Frozen spinach works better than the fresh stuff here because its already really finely chopped and the fresh stuff is a pain to mash up, it ends up being quite stringy).
• When the onions are looking like they're about done and the spinach balls have broken down into a kind of mush, add your diced garlic clove. Continue frying for a couple of minutes then take the pan off the heat.
• Drain off your boiled spuds and mash them a bit just to get them going. Add the milk and repeat, then finally add the pepper and the butter and repeat once more until the mash is good and creamy.
• Add your spinach and onions to the mix and mash it all up a bit just so it gets nicely mixed in. Goes great as an accompaniment to meat or fish dishes.
