Thai-style grilled ox liver

Cooks in 40 minutes

I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to get this recipe off my local Thai restaurant for some years now. Next time or she is not here today is always the evasive answer despite our apparent friendship. So if I half think I know what I’m talking about, then here is my version of how it’s done! But for comparing both side by side, pretty close would be my happy conclusion. The crispy onions are my addition.

Curry oxtail recipe

Cooks in 4 Hours Difficulty Medium

Curry dishes are hugely popular in Jamaica, thanks to the indentured servants to who arrived after emancipation in the early 19th century to make up the labour shortfall once slavery had been abolished. Curry goat and curry chicken are the best-known dishes, but Curry Oxtail is a close contender. It’s a stunning dish, one that is best started a few days before you intend to eat it.

Barbecued ox tongue recipe w/ black leeks

Cooks in 3 hours Difficulty Easy

I absolutely love ox tongue, whilst also celebrating its very reasonable price and benefit to the kitchen budget. Smoked by Swaledale Butchers, then cooked over charcoal and it is nothing short of eye-rollingly delicious! A wood-fired grill is pretty essential for this ox tongue recipe.

Chinese crispy chilli beef recipe

Cooks in 30 minutes Difficulty Medium

Cheap to make and devastatingly delicious! A perfect mid week treat or as part of a larger meal. The origin of the dish is not known, but it is probably a European adaptation of a Sichuan dish. A dish best served with rice alongside a very cold beer.

Featherblade steak recipe w/ anchovies & red wine

Cooks in 3-5 minutes or 45 minutes Difficulty Easy

Jorge Thomas, founder of Swaledale Butchers told me of this recipe, along with many things, both meat and miscellaneous that have caught my attention and interest. Featherblade makes for a great braise he instructed me and as I’d only ever cast them into the flames, I set myself a challenge that I’d cook two Featherblade steaks from the same Dexter cow. One cooked as I normally would, the other braised.

Massaman curry w/ beef shorts ribs

Cooks in 2 hours Difficulty Medium

Massaman curry is known throughout the world but most traditional recipes I’ve encountered are highly time consuming and complex. Don’t let that put you off as the rewards are great for those that want to make this Muslim-Thai curry at home.
