Sausage and Charred Citrus Traybake (4)

Sausages in an aromatic sweet and sour sauce from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage. If you like you could add some tinned or jarred beans to make this a more substantial dish, or serve with grilled bread to mop up the juices. Tuscan or Sicilian fennel and chilli sausages are good in this if you can find them, but if not any good quality and quite fatty sausages will do nicely.

Lamb, Mechoui Style (6)

A favourite version of this Moroccan lamb dish from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. Serve with roast Mediterranean vegetables or wrap in warm flatbreads with a handful of salad leaves and dollops of yoghurt. Start preparing the day before if you can, or in the morning you want to eat as it needs to marinade for a few hours.

Pacific Lime Chicken (4)

An easy chicken recipe from Hawaii which i found in ” Cook Simple ” by Diana Henry. Serve this with rice and stir fried greens, or in warmer weather a mixed salad. The second Marinade is for a Spanish Catalan chicken, cooked in the same way but good with roast potatoes and a green salad.
