–               Rub into the beef brisket and leave for three hours in the fridge to marinate

–               Heat a large cast iron casserole pot on a low heat and add a splash of olive oil. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves and rosemary and cook, with no colour, for 10-12 minutes (pop a lid on and turn the heat down if they start to colour)

Hasselback potato skewers with parsley & garlic butter

Approx. 1kg large new potatoes (or 6 per person)

Large sprig of rosemary, roughly chopped

Splash of olive oil

Sea salt for seasoning

Black pepper for seasoning

100g butter

Large pinch parsley, chopped

4 gloves garlic, peeled and crushed

Method

Preheat your oven to 170°c fan or 190°c for a conventional oven

–               You’ll need some metal or wooden skewers for this recipe. If you don’t have these just skip this step – it’s more for ease of serving

–               Take the new potatoes and make incisions all the way along, every 2mm, going ¾ of the way through

–               A good tip is to put them between 2 wooden spoons to make sure you don’t go all the way through

–               Skewer the potatoes, depending on how many you can fit on, four-six is ideal, ensuring the cut sides are all facing the same way

–               In a roasting tray big enough to hold the skewers, lay them all side by side

–               Drizzle some olive oil over, being generous, and season with salt and pepper

–               Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over and put in the oven for an hour

–               In the meantime, in a blender, blitz the butter with the parsley and garlic

–               Once the hour is up, take the tray out of the Leisure range cooker and add the butter, spooning over the potatoes, and put back in the cooker for another 20 minutes

–               Take out and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes so you can just grab a skewer each and pop onto your plate

Dessert

Triple chocolate marshmallow’smores’ brownies

Ingredients

120g dark chocolate (70%), broken into small pieces

140g butter

250g caster sugar

1 vanilla pod, seeds only, or ½ tsp vanilla bean paste

3 eggs

90g plain flour, sifted

60g cocoa powder, sifted

50g milk chocolate chips

50g white chocolate chips

5 digestive biscuits

2 handfuls large soft marshmallows

Method

Preheat your oven to 180°c fan or 200°c for a conventional oven

–               Grease and line a 30x15cm tray with greaseproof paper

–               Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, being careful not to let the bottom of the bowl touch the water

–               In a mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, vanilla and eggs together until light and fluffy

–               Add the chocolate and butter mix into the egg mix and fold in

–               Fold in the flour and cocoa powder, then the chocolate chips

–               Pour the mixture into the baking tray and spread out evenly

–               Push the marshmallows in to the mix

–               Bake in the Leisure range cooker for 20-22 minutes. There should be no wobble but it’ll still look a little undercooked, which is perfect

–               Before it cools, break each biscuit into roughly three pieces. Add these evenly into the mix, with half sticking out
