"This recipe is amazing served as a side dish with any roasted or grilled meat, but is also brilliant as part of a Boxing Day buffet spread with cold cuts of meat. I’ve even enjoyed it as a lovely lunch with a big old salad. Delicious." - Jamie Oliver

Best ever chunky guacamole

Use a large <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-cooks-knives">knife</a> to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-mixing-bowls">bowl</a>.

Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.

Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.

Use a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-whisks">whisk</a> to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.

Master how to make sweet, sticky caramelised onions. Perfect for adding to pasta, quiches or topping burgers and sausages

Caramelised onions

olive oil

onions(red

salt

brown sugar

balsamic vinegar

Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.

Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40&nbsp;mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them&nbsp;from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.&nbsp;

Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp&nbsp;chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky,&nbsp;the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The&nbsp;onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.

Forget packet sauces, this will give you a real taste of the orient.

Throw in the chicken, cashew nuts, pepper and onion, then stir-fry for about 4-5 mins until the chicken is cooked and the nuts are toasted. Pour over the sauce and simmer with a splash of water.

A one pan low-fat roast with pork and herbed vegetables - healthy and hearty

Herbed pork fillet with roast vegetables

parsnips,

butternut squash

red onions, each

lemon

pork

lean pork tenderloin,

Bramley apple

chicken stock

Preheat the oven to 200C/ gas 6/fan 180C. Put all the vegetables into a roasting tin. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss everything together.

On a plate, mix together the lemon zest and pork seasoning or herbs. Roll the pork tenderloin in the mixture, then put it on top of the vegetables. Roast for 40 minutes.

Peel and core the apple and cut it into chunks. Scatter the pieces into the roasting tin, then pour in the hot stock and cook for a further 15-20 minutes. Slice the pork, arrange on a platter with the veg, then spoon the pan juices on top.

Veggies needn't feel left out at barbecues with these Indian-spiced kebabs

Tikka skewers

tbsp tikka paste

tub yogurt

tsp cumin seeds

fresh root ginger

bag small new potatoes

paneer cheese,

red peppers

mango chutney

mint leaves, leaves picked

bag salad leaves

chapatis

Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 30 mins (this helps to stop them burning). In a large bowl, mix together the tikka paste with half of the yogurt, the cumin, ginger and seasoning. Boil the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 7 mins, then drain well and tip into the tikka mixture with the paneer. Gently mix into the marinade, then chill for at least 2 hrs to take on flavour.

To assemble the kebabs, alternately thread the marinated potatoes and paneer onto the skewers with the onions and peppers, then cover on a tray until you are ready to barbecue.

Heat the barbecue or a grill. Mix the mango chutney into the remaining yogurt, and the mint leaves into the salad leaves. Barbecue or grill the kebabs for 10-15 mins, turning, until the veg are charred and softened. With a few minutes to go, add the chapattis to the barbecue in batches to warm through. Serve the kebabs with the minty salad, cooling mango yogurt and chapattis, and let everyone assemble their own wraps.

Pickled Red Onions are a great way to use leftover red onion and are a great topping for tacos, sandwiches, pizza, and more.

Pickled Red Onions

garlic (0.08)

Tbsp white sugar (0.06)

salt (0.15)

tsp peppercorns (0.05)

white vinegar (0.06)

Thinly slice the red onion into 1/8-inch slices. Peel the garlic. Place the onion and garlic in a large glass or ceramic bowl.

Add the sugar, salt, and peppercorns to a small sauce pot. Add the vinegar and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Place a lid on the pot and bring the mixture up to a boil over medium-high heat.

When it reaches a boil, pour the vinegar over the sliced onion and garlic.* Press the onion down so all the pieces are submerged, then let the mixture cool to room temperature. I sometimes place a piece of plastic wrap over the onions to help push and hold them below the surface of the brine (see step by step photos below).

Once cool, use the onions immediately or transfer the onions and all the brine to a covered non-reactive container (glass, ceramic, or plastic) for storage in the refrigerator. The onions can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks.

Make your potatoes more exciting with this spinach and pesto mix

Lemony pesto potatoes

Boil the potatoes for about 15 mins or until tender. Drain, then return to the pan and roughly crush with a fork.

Tip in the onion and spinach leaves. Pour over the olive oil, pesto and lemon juice, season to taste and toss to coat everything in the dressing. Serve warm with sausages, chicken or a steak.

Add the lime juice and a sprinkle of salt, let rest until the onions start to turn pinkish, about 5-10 minutes.

The tomatoes can be sliced thinly or diced. Add the tomatoes to the onion curtido mix.
