Fish sauce and lime Squash Pudding
A fresh take on Squash Pudding, built on fish sauce and lime and finished the way we like it....
Our tested Grilled Beef Tabbouleh: herbal, generous, and balanced with herb and peanut. Serves 6 people with plenty to go around.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the herb and peanut elements, and pat the beef dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the beef. Grill over a medium-high heat, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked through.
Stir in the hoisin and the rest of the herb and peanut flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the courgette along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped mint and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
