Right, then let’s get cracking. Sometimes you want to make something a bit special, don’t you? A proper fancy dinner that looks absolutely stunning on the plate, but you haven’t got time for all that faffing about. I get it. Uh, life’s busy. That doesn’t mean you can’t knock up a gorgeous meal to impress your misses, your mates yourself. A few clever tricks up your sleeve, brilliant, beautiful ingredients, and a bit of a wiggle on in the kitchen. We’re making food that tastes incredible and looks the business, but fast. No stress, no messing, just good, honest cooking with a touch of class. Three lovely recipes, dead easy to follow. Recipe one, recipe two, recipe three. You don’t need to be a top chef. Get organized. Get your bits and bobs ready and go for it. Roll up your sleeves. First up, a beautiful piece of salmon. Get yourself two lovely salmon fillets. Skin on, skin off, your choice. We need a good handful of fresh breadcrumbs. Blitz up some slightly stale bread. Grab a big bunch of fresh parsley. A couple of sprigs of dill. Chop the herbs really fine. Mince two cloves of garlic. Grate the zest of one lemon. Add breadcrumbs to a bowl. Add the chopped herbs. Add the minced garlic and lemon zest. Drizzle in olive oil until it clumps. Season with salt. Crack in black pepper. Mix it all with your fingers until combined. Preheat the oven to 200° C or 400° F. Line a baking tray with parchment. Place the salmon fillets on the paper. Dollop some Dijon mustard on each fillet. Spread a thin layer of mustard across the top. Take the herby breadcrumb mix and sprinkle it over the salmon. Press the mixture firmly to form a thick crust. Slide the tray into the hot oven. Next, let’s do a brilliant chicken dish. You’ll need two good quality chicken breasts. Place them on a board cover with cling film. Give them a good bash with a rolling pin or bash with a pan. Flatten until they’re the same thickness all over. This helps them cook evenly. Grab some cream cheese. Two big spoonfuls. Chopped fresh chives. Dried thyme. Mix the herby cheese together. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Spread the herby cream cheese down the middle of each breast. Take four to six slices. Count them. Pushcuto slices. Palmer ham slices. Lay slices out overlapping to make a blanket. Place the cheese fil breast at one end. Roll it up tightly wrapping completely in the ham. It already looks the part. A proper little parcel of deliciousness. Heat a frying pan to medium high. Add a lug of olive oil. Add a little knob of butter. Once the butter is sizzling, place parcels seamside down. Last but not least, a cracking steak dinner. This is a real treat. It’s so simple. Get yourself two nice sirloin or ribeye steaks about an inch thick. Take them out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you cook to let them come to room temperature. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season them really generously on both sides with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Don’t be shy with the seasoning. It makes all the difference. While the steak is resting, prepare your asparagus. Just snap off the woody ends and toss the spears in a bowl with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Get a griddle pan or a heavy based frying pan on a high heat. Get it smoking hot. First, let’s cook the asparagus. Tip the spears into the hot pan and let them char for about 3 to 4 minutes, turning them occasionally. They should have lovely char marks on them. Once they’re done, take them out of the pan and set them aside on a plate.
