This is the most delicious barbecued beef I think I've ever had (even if I say so myself). Trust me because it's going to go really dark and look burnt, but it'll be perfect inside if you do it right.
I love the combination of ham and peas. Ham hocks are fantastic value, and cooking them on the bone adds loads of extra flavour. This recipe is kind of like a quicker, more modern version of boiled bacon...
I don't really like onions in my cooking, so I always leave them out of my stews - I prefer to use leeks instead. My kids also like sweetcorn in there, which I stir in from frozen just after the casserole...
This recipe is an absolute corker. Once you've mastered the basics, play around with various herbs and vinegars for different flavours. Make it at least 3 days before so flavours have time to infuse.
This recipe uses up leftover Christmas pud brilliantly. What I'm giving you here is really more of a suggestion because the amount of Christmas pudding you'll have left over will really depend on how greedy...
Wow your guests with this show-stopper of a pud - a magic alternative to the traditional trifle. Try colouring your meringue for an extra special, festive twist.
