Ingredients

50g butter

1 onion

, chopped
2 celery sticks, chopped
50g plain flour
600ml milk

90g pack pulled ham hock
small pack tarragon

, leaves only, chopped
1 egg

, beaten
320g pack ready-rolled puff pastry
cooked peas

, to serve

Method

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a shallow casserole dish, melt the butter over a medium heat on the hob. Add the onion and celery, and fry gently to soften. Add the flour and stir to coat the vegetables. Slowly add the milk, stirring really well after each addition, making sure there are no lumps of flour before you add the next splash of milk. Once all the milk has been added, bring to a simmer to thicken, then fold in the ham hock and the tarragon. Season to taste, then add about half the beaten egg.
Cut a circle of puff pastry 2cm wider than the top of the pan and pop it onto seal in the filling underneath, folding the edges to create a crust. Cut the off-cuts of pastry into rough strips and use them to decorate the top. Brush the pastry with the remaining egg and bake in the oven for 25 mins or until the pastry is golden and crisp. Serve with peas.

Chicken Kiev

Chicken Kiev This dish is completely scrumptious but I mean how could it not be? It has everything you need, it’s got perfectly tender chicken, a crisp exterior, and a savory molten interior. This meal packs quite a hit in ways that are deeply satisfying and completely drool worthy. After you eat this chicken, I’m warning you you may need to take a nap. Oh yeah it’s one of those meals, one that just hits the spot in both flavor and how completely rich and filling it is. So let’s get into it, while this dinner requires just a smidge more effort than some of my easier meals, it’s worth it, trust me. Hails from Eastern Europe, specifically places like Russia, Ukraine, and Poland. Chicken breast is pounded out, stuffed with a garlic herb compound butter, coated with eggs and breadcrumbs, and eventually fried and/or baked. The best part of this chicken truly is the filling. You roll the flattened chicken around some garlic herb compound butter and it melts when heated up in the ove...

PAKISTANI PAKORA (POTATO FRITTERS)

These are the best Pakoras (aka potato fritters) you will ever eat. Yup, I am making that claim because they are, quite simply, the best I’ve ever had in the twin cities, either home or professionally made. They are so good, that I’m actually a wee bit hesitant to share this recipe, because that means relinquishing the title of best pakora maker. However, I am making this sacrifice for the greater good. The world needs more of these awesome Pakistani pakoras. There are way too many bland, tasteless pakoras out there. NO MORE. I say. it doesn’t get any more Pakistani than pakoras, my friends. With the rainy season upon us, the most Pakistani thing to do is eat pakoras and drink chai. It’s practically our patriotic duty. In commemoration of our beloved country’s 70th anniversary of Independence, I decided to share my beloved Pakistani pakora recipe. (And if you’re still looking for more Pakistani flavor after these, you should check out my Authentic Chicken Curry with...
