Let’s get inspiration onto the family dinner table in the form of some tasty English recipes with a twist or two. People quite often resort to takeaways or ready meals because they’re lacking inspiration for easy mid week recipes that are interesting, delicious and cheap and that’s why it’s important to make these recipes quick or no one but the odd housewife will have time to make them delicious. First of all get on the internet or rootle through your cook books and find an easy version of the beef hot pot, a chocolate trifle recipe, how to make the perfect bubble and squeak and secrets for making a tasty Cornish pasty in minutes. When you’ve got all these together, print them out and start scribbling because we’re about to tell you how to take them from dullsville to party time in the twist of a chilli grinder and the splash of a rum bottle! Let’s start with the beef hot pot, there’s no denying that this is a delicious dish that made right will be packed full of flavours that remind you of home and the good old days and that will warm you right from the inside out on a cold night or just when you need some home comforts. If you’re anything like the purest meat lovers of this world and the thought of stewing good beef fills you with horror, don’t forget that the whole point of stews is that you use the off cuts, the less tender and cheaper cuts of meat. So how do you spice up this family favourite? Easy, follow the recipe you know and love and when it’s time to turn it from hot to simmer, throw in a couple of whole red or green chillies, seeds and all. It’ll give the dish some real heat without burning your mouth and it’ll bring out the flavour of the beef. Everybody loves a chocolate trifle because it’s an excuse to get as many different types of chocolate, in as many different forms, as possible into one dish. Once you’ve decided on whether to add white, milk or dark chocolate or a combination and whether to add chocolate chunks, chocolate mousse or chocolate cake, think about adding fresh raspberries and rum to your chocolate trifle recipe. The fresh fruit will cut through the sweetness of the chocolate and bring out the flavour of the dark chocolate in particular. The rum is a twist on the old sherry trifle and it shouldn’t be overpowering, simply create a depth of flavour or a dramatic and slightly gooey dessert if you decide to pour it flaming over the top just before serving.
