Cheat’s Christmas turkey
圣诞火鸡
The turkey is cooked high and fast, giving it extra crispy skin. As it comes out of the oven hotter than usual, it needs longer to rest so the meat can relax and stay succulent.
烤火鸡的时候温度需要调高,快速加热,这样皮会更脆。从烤箱取出来时会比平时更烫,所以需要更久来冷却,这样肉质能更放松,保持多汁。
Smashed roasties
碎土豆块
Roasties really don’t get easier than these smashed potatoes with just two ingredients. Boiling them for longer then smashing them makes for more surface area, meaning extra crispy bits for everyone!
这种土豆块不像一般的只有两种原料的碎土豆那样容易做,这需要煮得更久,也要弄得更碎一些,增加接触面,这样咬的时候就更酥脆。
Harissa & marmalade roasted roots
辣椒酱和橘子酱拌烤蔬菜根
These easy roasted root veggies are cooked with aromatic harissa and a big dollop of sweet marmalade that leads to delicious, caramelised beauties. All they require is boiling for a couple of minutes, roasting and coating.
这些简单的烤蔬菜根是和香辣酱和一份甜橘子酱拌制而成,所以吃起来美味,也有焦糖味。制作步骤就只需要煮几分钟,烤,最后蘸酱。
Peppered mackerel & pink pickled onion salad
胡椒马拉鱼拌锯齿状碎洋葱
This mackerel starter with its quick pickled onion is impressive, and it takes little time . This can be assembled while your turkey’s in the oven.
马拉鱼前菜加上速成的洋葱条绝对是令人难忘的一道菜,而且用时短,在火鸡还在烤的时候就可以做好
Black forest Christmas fool
黑森林配奶油果泥
And finally, the easiest-ever chocolatey dessert. This Black Forest treat can be whipped up in ten minutes flat and requires no forward prepping. If you fancy a non-alcoholic version, feel free to substitute a can of cherries in syrup.
最后一道是巧克力甜点,这道黑森林点心10分钟内就可以搞定,不需要提前准备。如果你比较喜欢无酒精的口味,可以任意选一种浆果来代替。
