1 tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground ginger
3 tbsp prepared French mustard
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Freshly milled salt and black pepper
950g/2 lb 2 oz boned leg of lamb

Method

Meat is so successful cooked in the halogen oven. Remember to leave it to rest for 10 minutes before carving. You will need a large shallow roasting tin which fits in your oven.

1.Preheat the halogen oven to 190°C (374°F).

2. Spoon the ground allspice and ginger, mustard, oil and a little seasoning into a small bowl and mix to a paste.

3. Trim off any excess fat from the lamb. With a sharp knife, make several deep cuts into the meat on all sides.

4. Rub the paste all over the lamb, pushing it into the cuts.

5. Put the lamb into the roasting tin and cover with foil. Put into the hot oven (low rack) and cook for 20 minutes. Turn the lamb over, cover and cook a further 20 minutes. Again, turn the lamb over, open the foil and cook a further 10-15 minutes or until browned, piping hot and cooked through. Serve sliced with the pan juices spooned over.

Here’s a delicious halogen recipe from Paul Brodel & Carol Beckerman.

Method

Place the lamb on the low rack in the halogen oven and cover with the rosemary.

Place the garlic on its stalk next to the leg, drizzle everything with olive oil and cook at 240°C (460°F) for 10 minutes. Turn the lamb over, reduce the temperature to 175°C (350°F) and cook for 20 minutes.

Turn again and cook for a further 20 minutes for pink, 25 minutes for medium and 30-35 minutes for well done.

Remove the lamb from the oven and leave to rest in a warm place for a few minutes before serving.

To make the sauce, fry the shallots in a small frying pan with a little olive oil until translucent, then add the redcurrants. Cook until they burst, then add the red wine and chicken stock.

Increase the heat and reduce the sauce by about half, then strain into a small serving dish.

Serve the lamb with the warm redcurrant sauce, with peas and mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

2 eggs
8 good quality pork sausages
125g/4.5 oz plain flour
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp vegetable cooking oil
200ml/0.66 uk pint milk

Here’s a halogen recipe for this famous dish.

Method

Put the flour and salt in a big bowl, make a well in the centre, now add the eggs.

Pour in half of the milk, mix in well until it’s smooth – add the rest of the milk, whisk well until you see tiny bubbles. Leave it to rest a while.

On the low rack of the Halogen Oven place a small roasting tin with oil and sausages in it. Cook at 200°C (392°F) for around 10 minutes or until sausages turn brown.

Next pour the batter over the sausages (the oil in the roasting tin must be very hot when you do that) and cook at 200°C (392°F) for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the batter has risen and is golden brown.

Toad in the Hole complete. Serve with onion gravy and green peas if you wish.

Here’s a delicious halogen oven recipe from Sarah Flower. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Her book, containing 200 tasty Halogen recipes, entitled “The Everyday Halogen Family Cookbook”, is available through the Amazon link to the right in our sidebar.

Method

Place the flour and paprika in a bowl and season. Rinse the beef, then coat with the flour.

Select your ovenproof/hob-proof casserole dish, making sure it fits in your halogen oven. Place this on the hob and heat a little oil over a medium heat.

Add the beef and cook until browned. Then remove and leave to one side.

Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion starts to soften. Add the sweet potato and carrot and allow to sweat for a few minutes. Place the beef back in the casserole dish.

Pour on the stout, stirring well. Then add the barley, sugar, bay leaves and thyme. Season to taste.

Cook the casserole on the hob for another 5 minutes, before transferring to the low rack of the halogen oven. Cover with a lid or double layer of tin foil. Set the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and cook for 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings by mixing together the flour and suet. Then season and mix in the fresh parsley (if using) and crumbled stilton. Add a little water at a time until you have formed a pliable but not too sticky dough. Form into balls and leave on a floured surface until needed.

Check the casserole after 50 minutes. Add the hot beef stock if needed. Cook again for 10 minutes, before removing the lid and adding the dumplings.

Cook for a further 20-30 minutes until they are light and fluffy. Serve immediately.
