‘I have heard a lot about low temperature cooking – is this something I should be looking at for my new kitchen?’

Low temperature cooking has been used for many years in professional kitchens and this method is now becoming increasingly popular with home chefs. The Miele Sous Chef Warming Drawer has a temperature range of 40-85°C and is ideal for slow cooking meats, fish and poultry for melt in the mouth, juicy results with no need to rest before serving.

But it doesn’t stop there, as this versatile method of cooking can also be used to prove dough, slow roast tomatoes and dry out meringues, rose petals, herbs, seeds or vegetables for homemade, healthy crisps. This process is stress-free, as you can leave dishes cooking without the need to constantly monitor the process – even overnight thanks to a 12-hour timer.

‘I enjoy cooking a wide variety of dishes at home, from stir fries to stews. Which hob would you recommend for me to invest in?’

Induction hobs are a great choice for passionate cooks, thanks to the precise temperature controllability, fast heat up times, automatic pan recognition and boosting functions for when an extra increase in temperature is required. Depending on budget, it would be worth considering an induction hob that allows the zones to be combined to create one large cooking surface – perfect when using large pots or a casserole dish. There are also models that offer an integrated wok zone, allowing you to create stir fries, soups and delicate sauces. If you don’t want to choose just one type, it is possible to combine a variety of hob styles, for example gas, induction, barbecue grills, Tepan Yaki and friers to suit your cooking styles.

Combination hobs can also be used to create design features in your kitchen. Place them side by side for a streamlined look or have a 5cm gap between each one so they stand out as separate design statements.

Brighten up your dinner table with this earthy runner in rich purple, which is offset with simple silverware, wooden table and glass crockery. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor dining, it’s 100 per cent linen and the perfect accessory for all year round dining. It’s £28 from Rowen and Wren.

Steamed Beetroot Buns with Mackerel and Salmon Burgers and Chinese Slaw Method

Ingredients

1 Place the beetroot into a perforated steam tray. Steam in the Miele Steam Oven at 100°C for 1 - 1 1/2 hours or until the beetroot are tender.

2 Peel the beetroot and roughly chop them. Place in a food processor and blitz until puréed. Using a clean J-cloth or muslin and working with generous spoonfuls of the beetroot purée at a time, squeeze all the liquid from the beetroot into a jug until you have 100-120ml of juice.

Top up the beetroot juice with water to make 200ml.

3 For the buns, place the caster sugar, yeast, flour, baking powder and groundnut oil into a large bowl. Stir to combine.

4 Pour the beetroot juice into the flour and mix well to form a soft dough. Turn out on to a work surface and knead for 2-3 minutes. Grease the bowl with a little groundnut oil and return the dough to the bowl.

Cover with cling film and put back in the steam oven. Steam at 40°C for 30–40 minutes or until doubled in size.

5 Once the dough has doubled in size, knock the dough back. Divide the dough into 10 portions of 40g and roll into balls. Place on to two greased perforated steam trays. Cover with cling film and return to the steam oven at 40°C to double in size for the second prove.

6 In the meantime, for the Chinese slaw, mix together in a large bowl, the cabbage, radish, spring onions and grated carrot. In a small jug whisk together the sesame oil, lime juice, lime zest, sweet chilli, rice wine vinegar and light soy sauce. Leave both to one side.

7 Once the buns have had their second prove, remove the cling film, sprinkle each with a few black onion seeds, if desired, and steam them at 100°C for 5 minutes to cook.

8 For the burgers, chop the salmon and mackerel into 1cm cubes and place into a bowl. Mix in the soy sauce, lime zest, salt, pepper, coriander, dill, oyster sauce and egg yolk. Shape into rounds about 2cm thick.

9 When the buns have steamed, remove and transfer to a wire rack.

10 Steam the burgers at 90°C for 3 minutes.

11 While the burgers are steaming, char the individual Little Gem leaves.

Preheat a frying pan on a high heat, rub the leaves with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and char on both sides. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and horseradish together. Complete the slaw by pouring the dressing over the prepared vegetables and mix well.

12 Once the burgers have finished cooking, start to build the burgers with one charred little gem leaf, 1 burger and topped with a small spoonful of mayonnaise. Serve with the Chinese slaw.

Watercress Ravioli Velouté with a Goat’s Cheese Mousse Ingredients

Method

For the Velouté 100g watercress 300ml hot vegetable stock 6 spring onions, trimmed and roughly sliced A handful of fresh parsley Salt and pepper to season

1 Place the watercress, hot vegetable stock, spring onions and parsley into a Dgg7 deep solid steam container. Place in the Steam Oven and steam at 100°C for 4 minutes. Remove and blitz until completely smooth.

2 Divide the mixture between ice cube trays or small cake pop moulds.

Place in the freezer for several hours until completely frozen.

3 For the goat’s cheese mousse, place the goat’s cheese and crème fraîche into a medium bowl and whisk to combine well using a balloon whisk. gently fold in the softly whipped double cream, salt and pepper.

Leave in the fridge to chill.

4 For the pasta, make a mound of the ‘00’ flour (approximately 300-400g in weight) on a clean work surface with a well in the centre. Crack 3 eggs into the well and sprinkle each egg yolk with a large pinch of salt. (This will give the correct level of seasoning for the pasta.) Working from the centre beat the eggs with a fork, bringing in a small amount of flour at a time. Continue to do this until a dough is formed.

5 When the dough is solid enough, knead using the heel of your hand and keep dusting with flour until it is no longer sticky, for about 10 minutes.

6 Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest for 20 minutes.

7 When the watercress velouté has frozen, cut the pasta dough in half, keeping one half still covered in cling film.

8 Using a pasta machine, work the dough at the widest setting once and fold the top and tail pieces into the middle. Rotate to the flat side and feed through at the widest setting, dusting to prevent the dough sticking.

9 Run the dough through the pasta machine to the second from last setting. Do this gradually, i.e. two runs through on each transitional setting. Dust with flour on both sides and lay on a dry surface. Cover with a tea towel. Repeat this for the other half of the dough.

10 Using a 7cm round cutter, cut out the bases for the ravioli and with a 9cm cutter, cut out the circles for the top. Place a frozen velouté cube in the centre of the 7cm circle of pasta. Using a little water, wet the edge of the pasta. Place the 9cm circle of pasta on top pressing down on the edge so all the air has been taken out. Place flat on to a greased steam tray.

11 Cover the pasta with boiling water and steam at 100°C for 3 minutes.

Remove from the steam oven and place the pasta on to a kitchen towel to remove any water. Place the pasta into a large warm bowl. add a quenelle of goat’s cheese mousse and garnish with watercress.

Roast Leg of Lamb Method 1 Preheat the Miele oven on Fan Plus 180°C. Place the bones and trimmings, shallots, carrots, celery, garlic and oil into a Miele induction hub dish. Toss to coat with the oil. Roast in the oven for 1 hour.

2 Meanwhile for the stuffing, heat the oil and butter in a frying pan and cook the onion and garlic until golden and softened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Place the onions and garlic into a food processor along with the parsley, thyme, anchovy fillets, breadcrumbs, pine nuts, lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste and 1 egg. Blend until just combined, ensuring that there are still some pieces of pine nut visible in the mixture.

3 Use this to stuff the tunnel boned lamb. Tie the joint up using butchers string. Place on to a universal roasting tray with the roast probe inserted into the centre of the meat.

4 Remove the tray of lamb bones and veg from the oven. Place the lamb in the centre of the oven. Select Auto Roast function 180°C, and a core temperature of 55°C for the probe.

5 For the sauce, place the hub dish with the roasted bones and vegetables on to the induction hob and select ‘Boost’. Pour in the wine and port as well as redcurrant jelly and boil to reduce by half.

6 Once reduced, add the lamb and chicken stock. Bring to the boil and leave to bubble. Simmer for 40-45 minutes to develop the flavour.

7 Once cooked, sieve into a saucepan and discard the bones, vegetables and meat trimmings. Return the saucepan to the hob and continue to simmer until reduced by a third.

8 When the lamb has reached core temperature, remove from the oven, cover it lightly and leave to rest for half of the cooking time.

Cut the lamb into thick slices to serve and accompany with the sauce.

• 1 ham hock • 1 small onion, peeled and chopped • 1 carrot, peeled and roughly chopped • 1 celery stick, chopped • 8 – 10 peppercorns • 10g butter • / tbsp vegetable oil • 1 long shallot, peeled and finely chopped • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped • 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard • Salt and pepper 1

2

Whipped Pancetta Sauce

• 200g cubed pancetta • 2 long shallots, peeled and finely chopped • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped • 1 tbsp brandy • 200ml Madeira • 2 sprigs thyme • 2 bay leaves • 500ml good quality chicken stock and a little extra if required • 150ml double cream, lightly whipped Braised Broad Beans and Scallions

• 250g broad beans, membrane removed • 6 scallions or spring onions, trimmed and sliced • 15g butter, in small cubes • 3 tbsp chicken stock • / tsp sugar 1

Method 1 To make the chicken scratchings, preheat the Sous Chef food warming drawer on the highest food setting (85°C). Remove the skin from the chicken supremes and stretch out on a wire rack placed over a baking tray. Sprinkle with a little salt and put the tray on the floor in the drawer for 4 hours to dry out the skins.

2 For the ham hock stuffing, place the ham hock in the base of a solid steam container and cover with cold water. add in the chopped onion, carrot, celery and peppercorns.

Cover with lid and place the container in the miele Steam Oven. Steam at 100°C for 4 hours until the ham is tender and falling off the bone. Remove the hock from the container and allow to cool. Reserve the cooking liquor.

3 melt the butter and vegetable oil in a small frying pan and fry the shallot for 4–5 minutes.

Take 175g of the cooked ham and using 2 forks, shred the ham. Place it in a bowl and stir in the shallot, parsley, thyme and wholegrain mustard. add 3–4 tbsp of the cooking liquor to moisten and then mix everything together to form the stuffing.

4 To make the whipped pancetta sauce, place the pancetta in a saucepan and fry off until the meat is cooked and the fat has been released. Using a slotted spoon lift out the pancetta on to kitchen paper. Drain off the excess fat leaving 1 tbsp in the pan. add the chopped shallots and garlic and fry gently for 4–5 minutes until softened.

Return the pancetta to the pan adding the brandy and madeira. Bring to simmering point and bubble until the liquid has reduced to a quarter the original volume. add the stock, bring to the boil and simmer to reduce to half the volume.

5 Transfer to a blender and blitz until smooth. add additional stock if required and set aside.

6 Preheat the combination steam oven on Fan Plus 200°C. in turn, place each chicken supreme on a chopping board, cover with some cling film and using a rolling pin, bash out until slightly thinner. Put a quarter of the stuffing down the centre of each supreme and fold over the edges to encase. Wrap well with a piece of caul fat to secure the stuffing. (if unable to obtain caul, use 2 or 3 cocktail sticks to hold the chicken around the stuffing). Place the supremes on the universal tray and put in the steam combi oven. Select combination cooking Fan plus 200°C moisture100% for around 25 minutes.

7 While the chicken is cooking, complete the rest of the dish. Remove the chicken skins from the rack and slice thinly. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a small frying pan and tip in the sliced chicken skin. Once it has sizzled, puffed up and turned lightly golden, lift out of the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Put in warming drawer.

8 in a bowl, lightly whisk the double cream until it is just holding shape. Reheat the pancetta sauce and gently fold in the whipped cream. adjust the seasoning to taste. Keep warm on a low setting on the hob.

9 Place the beans, spring onions, butter, stock and sugar into a shallow solid steam container. When the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven, cover with foil and set aside to rest for a few minutes. Put the steam container in the oven and steam the vegetables at 100°C for 3 minutes.

10 To serve, spoon some of the sauce on to 4 warmed plates, cut the chicken supremes in half and arrange on the sauce. Scatter the beans and scallions around the plate with a little of the crumbled chicken scratchings, then drizzle over a little more sauce.

Hot Smoking & Curing Here are two ideas from the Miele chefs for recipes using traditional ways of cooking and preserving meat to ensure maximum flavour WORDS REBECCA BARRETT PHOTOS MIKE COOPER

Before you begin:

Hot smoking

Hot smoking is a method of smoking the food while cooking. To get the best result when hot smoking the meat or fish needs to be salted first. This will draw some of the moisture out of the fish/meat and allows the smoke taste to penetrate a lot quicker. Meat needs to be salted for 30 minutes, while fish only needs 5 minutes. After salting, wash under cold water and pat dry using a clean cloth or kitchen towel.

Hints and tips *• The type of smoking chips can change the final taste

e.g. oak, whiskey oaked, hickory…

Using bottom heat with the Miele appliances allows the smoking chips to get the intense heat from the base of the dish while gently cooking the items of food.

Method 1 Steam the beetroot at 100°C for 1 -1 1/2 hours or until cooked.

2 Remove from the steam oven and peel. Cut into quarters and place into a medium bowl along with rhubarb, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, thyme and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. mix well.

3 Place the beetroot and rhubarb mixture in the centre of a sheet of tin foil. Fold the tin foil in half and fold the edges over to make a parcel. Leave to one side.

4 Place the duck breast on a large tray and sprinkle with the 4 tbsp of salt. Rub the salt into the duck breast on both sides and leave to one side for 30 minutes.

5 Preheat the oven to Bottom Heat, 250°C. Using a large miele hub dish sprinkle the base with smoking chips and smoking dust.

Place a wire rack on top. This will help to raise the food away from the base and smoking chips.

6 after 15 minutes of the oven preheating, place the hub dish on shelf position one to preheat and to start the smoking process.

cook’s GUIDE hot smoking & curing

Before you begin:

Curing

Make sure everything, from the work surface, knife and food containers, are clean and hygienic. You can buy meat from the supermarket or butcher, but as with most things, the better the quality of ingredients the better the end product. A good butcher can also advise you on the cut of meat.

Biltong Ingredients • 1kg silverside beef • 1 tbsp coriander seeds, lightly toasted • 1 tbsp salt • / tsp freshly ground black pepper • 1 tbsp cider vinegar 1

4

Method 7 When the duck has been left in the salt for 30 minutes, rinse the duck under cold water and pat dry.

8 once the smoking chips have been preheating for 15 minutes, fry the duck breasts in a large pan on a high heat. Fry until the skin is golden brown. Turn the duck breast over and fry for 30 seconds.

Transfer the duck breast onto the wire rack in the hub dish and cover with a lid or tin foil. Place the beetroot and rhubarb parcel onto a baking tray on shelf position 4. Leave everything to cook for 10-12 minutes or until the duck is cooked.

9 While the duck is cooking, fry the shallot in 1 tsp of vegetable oil over a medium heat until soft. Turn up to a high heat and add the red wine. Reduce to a thick syrup. Add the balsamic vinegar, redcurrant jelly, chicken stock and beef stock.

10 Reduce the sauce until thick and season with salt and pepper.

11 Remove everything from the oven and leave the duck to rest for 3-4 minutes covered in tin foil.

12 sprinkle each plate with a small amount of savoury granola, slice the duck breasts in half and place one on each plate. Finish with the roasted rhubarb, beetroot and red wine sauce.

1 Place the coriander seeds, salt and pepper into a pestle and mortar.

2 Grind until it’s a coarse powder. Add the cider vinegar to make a wet paste. other vinegars can be used at this stage. The vinegar helps to tenderise the meat as well as act as a marinade for taste.

3 cut the silverside into 4 thick steaks. Rub the salt and coriander paste into the steaks and leave to sit for 6 hours on a tray.

4 once the biltong has been sat for 6 hours, transfer to a wire rack and place in the sous chef. Leave for 12 hours on the 2nd temperature square on the food setting (70°c).

5 After 12 hours remove from the sous chef and slice.

6 If you’re not using it straight away leave it to hang in a cool dry place, then slice when ready to use.

For the Savoury Granola 1 In a small food processor blitz everything apart from the oats and seeds.

2 Pour the spice mixture over the pine nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and oats. Mix well.

3 spread on to a baking tray. Place in the Miele sous chef on the highest food setting, (85°c) for 2 hours.

e have the most wonderful produce in the British isles and it’s because of our seasons that we can have such a varied cookery year, which is why British food is one of the most exciting in the world. Many countries aren’t blessed with seasons like us, and that limits what can be available. My favourite time of the year is the passage between winter and spring. those few weeks where the clocks change, the days get longer, rain (sometimes) subsides and little green shoots start coming through; it marks the start of some great wild ingredients being available as well as some produce that Britain does better than anyone else, such as green asparagus, St George’s mushrooms, wild garlic and rhubarb. i love this time of year, walking in the countryside of Hampshire where i am from, there’s an uplifting feeling - a sort of resurrection of nature.

I am a huge advocate of British food and would use anything this country can produce over its European or international counterparts. Partly because of the obvious sustainability and ‘food miles’ aspect but mainly because of our indigenous producers, growers and suppliers we have nowadays cropping ‘The exciting thing up in every corner of every county. I’ve for me about using Miele been lucky enough to spend a bit of is that restaurant quality food time at Sharpham Park, the organic and techniques can be easily spelt farm in Somerset. It was set emulated, thanks to the precision up by a very inspirational man and accuracy that its cooking called Roger Saul and I have appliances offer. The Miele steam oven cooked with their spelt for a few for example is a great way to gently years now. Another fantastic product is Tunworth cheese, cook produce and I am currently made by Hampshire Cheeses. playing around with healthier Being a proud Hampshire man, I versions of classic treats, such got so excited the day I found out as a steamed doughnut... that the best Camembert in the world I haven’t quite got came from my doorstep. I now use it it down yet!’ as the perfect gift for any cheese lover!

We’re also lucky enough to have some stunningly clear chalk streams around where I live and because of that some fantastic fishing.

As well as the wild options there is a new St George’s company called Chalk Stream Foods using the Mushrooms crystal clear waters of these rivers. They do their

very best to be as sustainable as possible in terms of fish production, but what I like is their positive impact on the environment, returning water to the river in top condition and supporting the surrounding wildlife.

Good natural ingredients are what excite me and if you treat them with respect they will reward you. The enjoyment of eating is something everyone can share and healthy eating doesn’t mean raw nettle smoothies and no carbs, it’s about cooking quality ingredients and not trying to make up for a lack of flavour or technique with excess salt, sugar or oil.

At a dinner I cooked recently I made a really simple dish that was almost effortless but would hold its own against rich, buttery, creamy (unhealthy) versions of itself. It was a mushroom consommé with seaweed and roast root vegetable skins. I used the Miele Sous Chef drawer to dehydrate some wild St.George’s mushrooms (no fat involved) and then when shrivelled and small (but more intense in flavour) I rehydrated them in water overnight, resulting in a perfectly clear consommé that smacks you in the face with flavour! With a few additions and a touch of seasoning it was such a winner, and so simple in ingredients, it couldn’t have been healthier.

You’ll discover how our appliances work and the difference this makes to your food.

What’s more, our Let’s do Lunch courses are completely interactive and you’ll be able to ask any questions you may have.

Should you decide to purchase eight or more appliances* after the course, you’ll also qualify for the Miele Connoisseur Club. Members have access to a number of exclusive benefi ts, including a personal in-home demonstration, a luxury hamper, a free set of Flexiclip runners worth £157.49 and much more.
