Home-made five-spice powder

Home-made five-spice powder

makes about ¼ cup Five-spice powder from the supermarket can (depending on its age) look and taste just like brown powder. And that’s a shame because when it’s freshly made, it adds the most wonderful, warm whack of spice to a recipe. Make a big batch and keep it handy for all kinds of things: the plum sauce here, the spring onion pancakes, or as a rub and marinade for all kinds of meats, stir-fries or roasted eggplant (aubergine). It also makes a lovely gift.

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a dry frying pan and toast over medium heat for a few minutes or until the spices are aromatic and the seeds are beginning to pop.
  • Transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender, coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle and whizz or bash until you have a fine powder (or as fine as possible).
  • Store in an airtight container.

Lime pickle

Lime pickle

There’s always a split second in winter when limes are everywhere and affordable. And when that window opens, I make lime pickle. Move over preserved lemons, this is the new flavour bomb of choice (or it’s mine, at least). It adds a bucketload of zing and zest to soups and curries. You could even pile it on a bowl of plain rice, add a dollop of yoghurt, a fried egg and maybe a handful of steamed beans and you have an excellent meal right there. Yes, there is a lot of salt and spice in this recipe, but you use it as a type of salt seasoning and you really don’t need much at a time.

Ingredients

  • 12 limes
  • ¾ cup 240 g rock salt
  • ¼ cup 30 g fennel seeds
  • ¼ cup 40 g mustard seeds
  • 2 Tbsp chilli flakes
  • 1 Tbsp ground turmeric
  • 2 cups 500 ml mustard oil (see Note)

Instructions

  • Cut the limes into quarters and place in a large bowl.
  • Add the salt and mix well, using your hands to squish and squeeze the salt into each lime quarter.
  • Divide the lime among 3–4 sterilised jars, really packing everything down well.
  • Seal the jars and leave in a cool dark place for a minimum of 2 days and up to 2 weeks.
  • Toast the fennel seeds and half of the mustard seeds in a dry frying pan over medium–high heat.
  • Bash the seeds with a mortar and pestle or blitz in a food processor until they are roughly broken up.
  • Place the mixture in a small bowl and stir in the chilli flakes and turmeric.
  • Divide the seed mixture among the jars of salted lime quarters and mix well (I use a chopstick to do this).
  • Heat the mustard oil in a small saucepan over medium–high heat, add the remaining mustard seeds and cook until the oil is just at smoking point.
  • Remove from the heat and pour the oil into the jars with the lime quarters, being careful to prevent the mixture from spitting up at you.
  • Mix together with a chopstick or a long spoon, seal and store in a cool dark place.
  • You can use or serve your lime pickle in whole quarters, but I prefer to roughly chop mine so it’s a bit easier to spoon over things.
  • I simply tip the whole jar into my food processor and blitz for a few seconds until it turns into a very rough paste.

Notes & Wine Advice

If mustard oil is tricky to find, you can use vegetable oil.

Atholl Brose

Atholl Brose

This recipe is for my late father-in-law, Andrew. He loved whisky and would often make up a thermos of this curious Scottish concoction and bring it out to the farm on very cold days when he and my husband Tim were working outside all day. A little dose of Atholl Brose seemed to help keep them going when the sleet was coming in sideways, the mud was up to their ankles and the enthusiasm for the job at hand was waning. Andrew is so very sorely missed by the whole family, and we now make and share this on his birthday every year. It warms us inside and out.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups 500 ml whisky (see Note)
  • 1 cup 100 g rolled oats
  • ¼ cup 60 ml single (pure) cream
  • ¼ cup 90 g honey, or to taste

Instructions

  • Combine the whisky and oats in a jar and leave them to soak overnight.
  • Strain and discard the oats (or use them for a boozy porridge!).
  • Stir in the cream and the honey, to taste, then decant the mixture into a bottle or jar and place in the fridge.
  • The Atholl Brose can be enjoyed straight away, but we think it’s even better after it’s had a day or so to ‘mature’.
  • You can serve it over ice or (my preference) warmed up and poured into a thermos to kickstart a cold afternoon on the farm.

Notes & Wine Advice

You don’t have to use the best whisky in the cupboard, but use one that’s not too peaty.
