    sushirolls.jpg

    Ingredients:

    14 ounces (400milliliters) sushi rice
    16 ounces (450milliliters) water
    6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    2 tablespoons sugar
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 pack of nori seaweed sheets, halved
    Pickled ginger
    Wasabi
    Soy sauce

    For the fillings:
    Spring onions
    Enoki mushrooms
    Raw salmon
    Raw tuna
    Cucumber

    Method

    Wash the rice well and drain. Cover with the measured
    water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 12
    minutes then leave to sit for 5 minutes with the lid on.
    Meanwhile, heat the vinegar, sugar, and salt until
    dissolved then leave to cool. Turn the cooked rice
    out onto a flat tray to cool. When cool, place in a
    bowl, stir in the vinegar solution, and mix with a
    wooden spoon.
    Lay half a sheet of nori seaweed onto a rolling mat.
    Dip your hand in cold water and quickly place a
    handful of rice in a line along the seaweed. Flatten
    out with your fingertips using the water to stop any
    sticking. The key is to do this quickly. The rice
    should cover half the width of the sheet so now you
    can place your combo of filling in the middle of the
    rice. Use the mat to roll up the sushi roll, pinch
    and squeeze the mat to shape it into a round cigar
    shape. Practice makes perfect!
    Slice into inch-thick rolls with a sharp knife, turn
    onto their sides so the rice is facing upwards, and
    serve with the pickled ginger and wasabi mixed with
    soy sauce.

    Yield: 4 to 6 servings

    porkandcrackling.jpg

    If you have a good butcher, ask him for the rib or rump end of the pork
    loin; it’s more evenly sized, making it easier to cook. Ask him to leave
    the skin on and to score it across with lines about 5mm/1/4 in. apart and
    then to take it off the bone. Ask him to chop the bones up for you and
    take them home to use for your gravy.

    Ingredients:

    1/2 pork loin roughly 7 pounds in weight (on the bone), scored 1/4-inch apart, bone removed
    Sea salt
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
    1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds
    5 cloves garlic
    8 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    4 bay leaves
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    Pork bones, chopped
    5 outer sticks celery, roughly chopped
    1 large carrot, roughly chopped
    1 large onion, roughly chopped

    Method

    Lay out your pork on a board and rub some salt and 1 teaspoon
    chopped rosemary into the scored lines, trying to get this into every bit
    by pushing and rubbing in. In a pestle and mortar smash up the fennel
    seeds, then the garlic and remaining chopped rosemary, and rub this
    into the meat - not the skin, or it will burn. Place in a large roasting tray
    with the balsamic vinegar, bay and olive oil. Leave for about 1/2 hour to marinate.
    Meanwhile, preheat your oven to its highest temperature and brown the
    bones. Rub the skin of the pork with lots of sea salt - this will help puff it
    up and dry it out. Place the pork directly on the bars at the top of the
    oven. Finally add the browned bones and vegetables to the leftover
    balsamic marinade, add 570ml, 1 pint water and put into the oven
    directly under the pork. As the pork cooks all the goodness drips from it
    into the tray. This liquid will then become your gravy. You also get quite
    charred bar marks on the base of the pork.
    The pork will take about 1 hour to cook. After 20 minutes turn the
    temperature down to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Once the pork is cooked,
    remove it from the oven on the rack and place on a piece of foil to save
    any juices. Allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. Finish off any vegetables
    that you are going to serve with it and make a gravy out of the juices in
    the tray which was underneath the pork.
    Put the bones, the liquid and the vegetables into a large pan. Add some
    water to the tray that contained the bones and vegetables, as there will
    be some Marmite-like, sticky stuff on the bottom to the tray which is very
    tasty. Reboil the water, scrape off all the goodness from the bottom of
    the tray and then pour everything into the pan. Bring to the boil, shaking
    occasionally, remove any oil, grease or scum from the top, then pass the
    contents through a sieve, discarding all the vegetables and bones. You
    can reduce and then correct the seasoning, to taste.

    Yield: 8 servings
