EDITOR’S LETTER

Welcome to

This month

May

*AVAILABLE FROM 22 MAY

I always look forward to this time of year... The days are longer, the weather’s warming up and the barbecue season is so nearly here. The thought of sitting outside and enjoying a drink, while delicious, fresh food chargrills on the barbecue, is really appealing. It’s the informal feel of it all that I love most. You can marinade your meat in advance, prepare a few salads, then just grill and go. Everyone’s a fan of the staple burgers, sausages and skewers, but barbecue trends are changing all the time. Look out for twists on a classic, or American-inspired smoky, sweet or even fruity marinades, sauces and dips. Hopefully, our BBQ recipes will inspire you with a new classic to add to your repertoire. One of my favourite new trends is fabulous ‘loaded dogs’. These delicious gourmet-quality sausages are topped with lovely fresh ingredients – just pile them on to make your very own signature hot dog.

I want…

…everyone to take part in The Big Lunch, on 1 June. Get together and have fun with your neighbours. For details, go to thebiglunch.com.

Great for the BBQ

I love…

…our Extra Special sausages, £2.98 or 2 for £5. So tasty, and perfect for making loaded hot dogs.

HANDCRAFTED

with passion A dedication to craftsmanship and great food are what makes our new premium range of Finnebrogue sausages extra special, says producer Denis Lynn

PRODUCERS Tucked between lush rolling hills and ancient woodland in Northern Ireland is the Finnebrogue estate. This beautiful 600-acre farm is owned by Denis Lynn, an artisan farmer, and our newest sausage supplier. Denis has been producing artisan food for over a decade and employs over 200 people. There are around 2,000 deer on the estate, as well as the factory that produces our Extra Special sausages and hot dogs. Finnebrogue’s reputation for using high-quality ingredients to create premium, artisan-style products made them an obvious choice of partner. They already supply their award-winning sausages to a number of large retailers and top chefs including Heston Blumenthal

and, previously, Raymond Blanc, Rick Stein and Gordon Ramsay. For our Extra Special range, Denis only buys pork from farmers who can guarantee the welfare of their animals. But his real priority is making premium bangers that cook well and taste amazing. We caught up with Denis to fnd out more…

Why are your sausages so special? We only make food that excites and inspires us, and that we know our customers will enjoy eating. We believe that food can make a real difference and this is at the heart of everything we do. Our sausages are made by hand in small batches, using fresh cuts of pork from the shoulder and belly. Traditionally used in sausage making, these cuts have the perfect ratio of fat to meat. This means that the sausages will be succulent and tasty, whether you grill, fry or barbecue them. We know that customers always want the best quality, great value and fantastic new products, so we like to offer them something that they can’t

‘We only buy pork from farmers who can guarantee the welfare of their animals’

All the pork for our Extra Special sausages and hot dogs comes from farms like this in the British Isles MAY 2014 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | 17

Only fresh cuts of meat, fat and natural favourings like chillies and spices are used in Finnebrogue’s premium sausages

Jim Viggars, Asda Head of Meat Quality

Food that we can be proud of...

What do you look for when buying meat from suppliers? We work with a number of farmers and animal welfare and sustainability are crucial for us. I frmly believe that animals deserve as good a life as possible and that, as a farmer, it’s my responsibility to ensure that happens. That’s why we only use farmers from the British Isles who take good care of their animals. This may be as simple as designing pig accommodation that gives them freedom to move around. How does animal welfare afect the quality of the meat? Happy pigs make great food and they deserve to be well treated. But it’s not just about being looked after on the farm. If animals get stressed, it can afect the taste of the meat. We use a local abattoir so that when the pigs are sent there, they don’t have to travel too far and get stressed. 18 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | MAY 2014

The best bangers Add real quality to your BBQ with one of Finnebrogue’s Extra Special hot dogs. Hot Dog, £2.98 (400g), or 2 for £5 Smoky, sweet favour and the ‘snap’ of an American dog. Serve with crispy onions, ketchup and mustard. Louisiana Cajun, £2.98 (400g), or 2 for £5 Blend of pork, Monterey Jack cheese, red bell peppers, chilli, garlic and spices – a tasty hot sausage. Tennessee BBQ, £2.98 (400g) or 2 for £5 Inspired by classic Kentucky bourbonbased BBQ sauces. These contain honey, bourbon, treacle, garlic and onion.

All these sausages are gluten free!

get anywhere else. We experiment with new exciting favours and use only welfare-friendly pork so that people have real choice. All sausages in our Extra Special range are gluten-free. We’ve been working closely with Asda to develop this range. More and more people are being diagnosed as gluten intolerant or having coeliac disease, so it made sense to make them gluten-free.

‘At Asda, we’re committed to giving you great prices and value for money, but without compromising on quality. All our products and ingredients are responsibly sourced and can be traced back to the suppliers, from farm to fork. And we pride ourselves on the support we give to all our farmers and growers – hopefully, it shows in products.’

These keep their shape and waxy texture well when boiled or steamed, making them ideal for potato salads. Or serve them crushed with a little olive oil and chopped fresh herbs.

SPOTLIGHT ON...

Potatoes

Versatile and tasty, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much more to spuds than mash The humble spud is a superstar in the kitchen. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of varieties available and each has its own characteristics that makes it ideal for particular dishes. From fufy King Edwards, which are great for baking, to waxy, salad-friendly Charlottes, choosing the right spud for the job can make or break a dish. Damon Johnson Head of Produce Quality

Marabel

This yellow-skinned potato is ideal for roasting and mashing. It has a velvety texture and rich favour, so no need to add butter.

SPOTLIGHT ON

Jersey Royal Maris Piper

WORDS AND RECIPES: GREGOR MCMASTER. PHOTOGRAPHS: STUART OVENDEN STYLING: JENNY IGGLEDEN. FOOD STYLING: LAUREN FLOODGATE

A true all-rounder that’s great for chips and roasties. It also mashes really well.

The king of new potatoes gets its unique favour from Jersey’s fertile soil. To let the wonderful taste shine through, just simmer or steam for 20 mins and add butter. Only in season from April to early June, so enjoy them now.

Rudolph With a sweet favour, red skin and smooth, creamy texture, the Rudolph spud is delicious baked, mashed or roasted. MAY 2014 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | 21

Serve up something new with potatoes...

BABY PEARL SALAD

Why not also try…

Add dressings to cooked potatoes while they’re still warm. This helps the liquid and flavour really soak in.

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Peel and thinly slice Maris Piper potatoes. Layer in an ovenproof dish with thinly sliced onions until the dish is almost full. Pour over double cream to come almost to the top, add dabs of butter, season and cover with foil. Cook for 90 minutes, remove foil and cook for another 10 mins, until golden.

● Salted homemade crisps

Drizzle thin slices of Maris Piper with oil and bake until crisp. Sprinkle with rock salt.

Use leftover mashed potatoes to thicken sauces and soups, or put on top of pies instead of pastry.

Tip

In separate pans of salted water, boil Baby Pearl potatoes and sweetcorn cobettes until tender. Drain well and leave to cool. Make a dressing of three parts oil to one part cider vinegar, season and stir in a handful of torn watercress. Lightly smash the cooled potatoes with a fork, then cut the corn kernels from the cob. Put in a bowl and pour over the dressing. Serve.

Tip

Why not also try…

● Potato omelette Add sliced cooked baby spuds to beaten eggs and chopped herbs, then fry in a little oil.

ROSTI

Peel and coarsely grate a few medium-size Rudolph potatoes. Wring out the grated potato in a clean tea towel to remove excess water. Put in a bowl with chopped thyme and season. Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan and add a heaped tablespoon of the potato mixture and press down lightly. Cook for 3-4 mins on each side until golden. Top with a poached egg. Serve.

Why not also try…

● Bubble and squeak Mix

cooked cabbage with mashed potatoes, form into cakes and fry until golden.

For added crunch, dust parboiled potatoes with cornflour before putting them in hot oil to roast.

Tip

TAKE A SHORTCUT... Ready-prepared potato dishes are great when you haven’t got much time – look in the produce department for our great range. All you have to do is remove the film and pop in the oven or microwave*. 22 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | MAY 2014

POTATO SKINS

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Rub olive oil over some large Marabel potatoes and cook for 80 mins, until golden. Halve and carefully scoop out most, but not all, of the inside of the potato and put in a bowl with fried bacon pieces, a handful of grated cheddar and a sprinkling of chopped chives. Spoon the mixture into the empty skins, return to the oven and bake for 10-15 mins.

Leave the skin on Marabel potatoes when mashing. It adds taste and texture, and the skin is packed with vitamins, too.

Tip

Storing

Fresh potatoes should be kept in a cool, dark place with good ventilation (but not in the fridge or freezer). Don’t wash potatoes before you store them – dampness can make them go of quicker. Leftover mashed or roast potatoes can be frozen in bags for up to 3 months.

Get together! Kids will love making our fun and easy party foods for this year’s Big Lunch event, on Sunday 1 June

Put the date in your diary – this year’s Big Lunch is coming up soon and it’s the perfect excuse to get your friends and local community together for a fun-flled day. The idea behind the event is simple. Launched by the Eden Project in 2009, it aims to get people across the UK eating lunch with their neighbours on one day each year. It’s a great way to strengthen ties in your community, and make new friends. You

could have your Big Lunch in your back garden, street, community centre or your local park – it’s up to you. In 2012, The Big Lunch became part of the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations, with over 8 million people joining in. This year we’d love you to use The Big Lunch to raise money for a charity or local cause you care about. To get you started, we’ve come up with fun recipes to make with the kids. For more ideas for your event, go to thebiglunch.com

KIDS COOK THE BIG LUNCH

Mini club sandwiches

Toast slices of white and brown bread and spread with butter. Layer iceberg lettuce, cooked chicken and grilled bacon between two slices to make a standard sandwich. On top of that, add a layer of chopped hard-boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise, plus slices of tomato. Top with a third slice of toasted bread and cut the whole stack into quarters. Serve with a cocktail stick through the centre, to hold the layers together. For vegetarians, replace the meats and lettuce with Red Leicester cheese and sliced tomato, and top the layer of egg mayo mixture with salad cress for extra favour and texture.

5 ways to do a Big Lunch...

CHOOSE A VENUE You can hold your event wherever you like, but if you’d want to close of your road for the day, contact your local council as soon as possible to get ofcial permission.

INVITE EVERYONE Hand out invites and leafets, put up posters, and ‘share’ the event with friends on Facebook. And ask people to RSVP so you know how many seats, food and other party things you’ll need.

Fruity jellies

In a jug, make up a pack of Chosen by you Strawberry Flavour Jelly, following the instructions on the pack. Pour the jelly mixture into glasses. Leave to cool until just beginning to set, then add fresh blueberries. Leave to set. Or try these alternatives: ● Use Chosen by you Orange Flavour Jelly instead and add welldrained canned mandarin. ● Use Hartley’s Lime Jelly and add chopped banana.

DO A FOOD SHARE Keep costs down by encouraging people to bring one dish, such as a plate of sandwiches or cakes, to share. To get a variety of foods, ask your neighbours on one side of the road to bring savouries, and the other to bring desserts.

GET CREATIVE Ask people to bring things like chairs and decorations such as balloons and fowers, or even chalk to draw on the pavement or walls (it’ll wash away afterwards!).

ON THE DAY Try to get everyone involved in games and activities. And if you play music, make sure it isn’t disturbing anyone, especially later on when kids have gone to bed.

BBQ FISH

● Barbecuing fsh whole helps them hold together better when they’re being cooked. The skin also protects the delicate fesh from the heat. ● If you’d rather not have to deal with bones

and want to serve easy-to-eat fsh fllets, wrap them in foil with favourings such as lemon and herbs. This allows all the favours and juices to be kept inside the parcel.

1 Squeeze the juice from one of the lemons into a bowl and add the chilli, honey, soy and olive oil. 2 Slice the other lemons and cut each slice in half. Insert into the cavities of the fsh. Make diagonal cuts in the skin and fesh of the fsh on both sides, taking care not to cut through to the bone. 3 Put the fsh in a large dish and spoon over the lemon marinade to coat. Refrigerate for 20-30 mins (no longer or the marinade will afect the texture of the fsh). 4 Barbecue the fsh until cooked (or bake in a hot oven), turning once and brushing with marinade as they cook. Garnish with chilli and serve with lemon wedges. Each 314g serving contains: ENERGY

HOW TO...

Max the marinade

Rather than using a basting brush to coat your meat or fsh with marinade, take sprigs of rosemary and thyme and tie them together with a piece of string. Dip the bunch of herbs in the marinade and brush over. It’ll add more favour – and save on the washing-up! To get the most from a marinade, leave meat to sit for several hours or overnight in the fridge. Fish, on the other hand, should only be left in a marinade for 30 minutes or the acidic juice, wine or vinegar will change the texture of the fsh.

Cooks’ tips Get set for outdoor entertaining with our grilling hints and barbecuing know-how

GREASE LIGHTNING

Organising a last-minute outdoor party and just realised your barbecue needs a deep clean? Don’t panic! Just slice a lemon in half and dip the cut side in coarse sea salt. Use this to scrub the barbecue grill, then rinse with water. The grill will come up brilliantly and you’re ready to cook!

DON’T FORGET...

...to get your meat, fsh or vegetables out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature before they go on the barbie. If food’s too cold in the centre, the outside may burn before the rest has cooked through. Remember, though, that the food shouldn’t be out of the fridge for more than 30 minutes before cooking.

HOTTEST

You’ll want to make sure the food stays safe at your barbecue, so stick to these simple food hygiene rules when you’re getting everything ready.

HOT

HOTTER

HOT TT E R HO

THE BBQ HOTSPOTS

● Always wash your hands thoroughly before preparing food, especially after touching raw meat or fsh. ● Use separate containers, plates and tongs for raw and cooked meat to avoid transferring bacteria from raw meat. ● Make sure frozen food is completely defrosted before it goes on the barbecue. ● Never part-cook food on the barbecue, leave it to one side, then fnish cooking later. ● When basting, never put a marinade that’s been in contact with raw meat onto already-cooked food.

The heat varies in diferent areas of the BBQ. Start cooking on the hottest part, right above the coals – they will be glowing hot with a powdery white surface when ready. Once food is seared, move it closer to the edge of the grill, where the coals are less hot. When cooked, keep food warm on the cooler outer edge.

DID YOU KNOW?

Two-thirds of households in the UK own a barbecue – and 14% have two! GRILL IT RIGHT

Safely sizzling

It’s important to cook meat thoroughly, especially on a barbecue. Make this easier by cutting meat into smaller pieces, or cooking it in the oven frst before transferring straight to the BBQ to get that classic favour. Turning meat regularly on the grill avoids burning on one side but under-cooking on the other. And if you’re at all unsure, cut into the thickest part of meat (particularly chicken, pork, sausages and burgers) before serving, to check it’s cooked all the way through, there are no raw, pink bits, and that any juices run clear.

Reader tip

For even better barbecued sausages, try this tip from reader Roshni Mistry (pictured left): ‘Slice them lengthways almost all the way through, then fatten out. This means they’ll cook right through quickly and evenly – with even more lovely chargrilled favour.’

Masterclass

1 Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Sift the four and salt into a large bowl. Add the yeast and stir to mix. 2 Add 4tbsp of the olive oil and 300ml tepid water. (Make sure the water is tepid – it shouldn’t feel hot to the touch.) Mix together to form a soft dough. 3 Turn the dough out onto a foured surface. Knead by folding the dough in half, then pushing it frmly away from you with the heel of your hand. Fold over again,

turn it slightly on the board and repeat. Do this for 10-15 mins until the dough is stretchy, smooth and elastic. See tip below. 4 Wash and dry the bowl, then grease it generously with olive oil. Put the dough back in the bowl and turn until it is coated in oil. Cover the bowl with greased clingflm. Leave in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size – about 45 mins in a warm room, or longer in a cooler place. 5 While the dough is rising, put the onions in a pan with

2tbsp olive oil and toss to coat. Put a round of baking paper on top of the onions, then put a lid on the pan. Cook over a very low heat for 10-15 mins until soft but not golden. Tip into a bowl and leave to cool. Put the risen dough on a foured surface and press frmly to knock the air out. Fold it and fatten again. 6 Sprinkle the thyme on top and knead into the dough until evenly distributed. Cut the dough in half and shape each piece into a rectangle

about 30cm x 20cm. Place on the lined baking trays. 7 With your fnger, press the dough surface to make dimples, then scatter the onion over the top. Cover loosely with some greased clingflm and leave to rise to about twice the size. 8 Bake for 30-35 mins until golden. Remove from the oven, drizzle over the remaining 2tbsp olive oil and sprinkle on the sea salt. Each 70g serving contains: ENERGY

well and has a lovely light texture. ● When you’re kneading the dough, it will be rather sticky at frst before becoming smooth and elastic. You can also knead bread dough in

some food mixers or processors. While it’s almost impossible to over-knead dough by hand, it can happen with a machine – so check the manufacturer’s instructions.

● You have to use strong bread four, not ordinary four, because it has a higher gluten content. This makes the dough stretchy when you knead it, for a bread that rises

Our Jakarta range includes a variety of low-maintenance pieces, which just need a brush or wipe down to keep them looking good. The rattan-efect weave is weatherproof, though it’s best to cover the furniture and store the cushions inside in the winter. And with such a choice, you can mix sofas, chairs, tables and other pieces to create your own outdoor ‘living room’.

Looks great and is easy to maintain

Jakarta 4-piece sofa set with cushions†, £379 Right: Jakarta double ottoman†, £149

Choose from diferent sized tables and parasols, as well as diferent styles of seats and sofas, plus a lounger, for your perfect look.
