Barbecued Pork Steaks

by LisaBrkr @ Thursday, 31. Jul, 2008 – 18:05:53

Just been cooking on the Barbecue this afternoon and cooked some superb pork steaks which you might like to try yourself. First of all, make sure your bbq charcoal is completely flame and smoke free, your charcoal should be glowing with a white surface, this will stop you from having charred and sooty pork steaks and them still being raw in the middle.

For a superb new bbq recipe for your pork steaks, mix some sesame oil, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh sage from your herb garden and a spoon full of clear honey, brush the mixture onto the pork steaks both sides and season with ground rock salt and black pepper. Cook on the bbq for about 3 to 4 mins each side, when they are cooked they should have a nice golden brown colour with a crispy coating and the juices should run clear.

If the weather is against you, this recipe is also perfect for popping under the grill for a tasty evening meal treat.

Lincolnshire School Attends Cookery Academy

Kirton Middlecott School Lincolnshire at The Nigel Brown Cookery Academy

For the first time The Nigel Brown Cookery Academy opened it’s door to pupils from Kirton Middlecott School in Lincolnshire.

The six lucky students were selected from the “Gifted and Talented” group by Head of Food Technology Sally Walsh to attend The Academy run by top chef Nigel Brown. Their day started with a tour round the garden, vegetable patch and greenhouse then straight into the kitchen to get “hands-on” preparing pastillage boxes to be filled later in the day with champagne chocolate truffles. After making some speciality bread with camembert and mediterranean vegetables the students moved on to preparing a lunch of chicken provencale en croute with buttered new potatoes which they all enjoyed in the dining room.

The afternoon was spent assembling and decorating their sugar boxes and creating little chocolate truffles to fill them. A great deal of tasting went on but hopefully a few truffles managed to make it home on the school’s minibus back to Boston.

Nigel said “The children were an absolute pleasure to teach, they were keen and attentive and a credit to their school”.

Lots of fun and tasting was to be had at last weekend’s Dalemain House Craft and Food Show near Penrith in Cumbria. The food marquee was brimming with top class stalls offering every kind of culinary delight from oils, spices and tasty treats to pots and pans to die for.

The demonstration kitchen was kept very busy every day with Nigel Brown, Dan Webb and Richard Fox showing visitors spectacular dishes to recreate at home in less time than it takes to ring the take-away.

The next event where you can watch these fantastic chefs in action will be at Leighton Hall in September (for more information visit www.nigelbrownchef.co.uk/Events).

The Boys Are Back In Town

This weekend saw some great entertainment at the Newby Hall Craft and Food Show in North Yorkshire with Dan from Pumpkin Spice, Nigel Brown, Neil Morrissey and Richard Fox drawing the crowds with their cooking demonstrations.

Dan created some fantastic curry dishes using his unique curry kits, herbs and spices and then treated visitors to a tasting session. Nigel concocted a paupiette of tuna and bacon on a bed of spinach tagliatelli and mediterranean vegetables topped with a soft poached egg and followed it with an individual strawberry cheesecake with a sugar basket and spirals. Double act Richard and Neil cooked using their brand new beer ‘Blonde Ale’ which is produced in a micro brewery at the back of their pub Ye Olde Punch Bowl Inn in Marton Cum Grafton near York.

Nigel, Richard and Dan will be weaving their culinary magic again next weekend in Penrith at Dalemain House so if you’re in the area be sure to pay a visit.

Nigel Brown Shugborough Hall June 2008

Thanks to everyone who came to say hello at this wonderful show.

We were very lucky with the weather, just a bit of a downpour Sunday afternoon but it didn't dampen any spirits.

Nigel cooked up a beautiful tuna steak wrapped in bacon with mediterranean tagliatelli and a white wine dressing followed by caramalised bananas with a toffee sauce and fresh strawberries in a sugar basket.

Hope to see you all again at Newby Hall this weekend.
