Here’s a delicious halogen oven recipe from Norma Miller.

Her book, containing more than 150 delicious Halogen recipes, entitled “The Halogen Oven Secret”, is available through the Amazon link down the page to the right in our sidebar.

Method

Mushroom, spinach and dill is my choice of stuffing, but try breadcrumbs, fennel and watercress leaves for a change. You will need a large roasting tin which fits in your oven.

1.Remove the lid from the halogen oven, place the low rack inside the oven and replace the lid. Preheat the halogen oven to 200°C (392°F).

2.Prepare the stuffing: finely chop the mushrooms and put into the roasting tray with 1 tbsp of the oil. Put into the hot oven and cook for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms are beginning to sizzle. Remove from the oven and spoon the mushrooms into a bowl.

3.Thinly shred the spinach leaves and dill. Grate the rind from the lime, cut in half and squeeze out the juice. Stir them all into the bowl or mushrooms and add a little black pepper.

4.Spoon the stuffing into the body cavity of the fish. Carefully lift the fish into the roasting tin. Make three or four diagonal cuts on the side of the fish, drizzle over the remaining oil and scatter over the almonds.

5.Cover and cook in the hot oven for 40-55 minutes until piping hot and cooked through, but start looking to see if it is cooked from 35 minutes onwards. (The time will depend on the thickness of the fish.) Remove the cover for the last 15 minutes.

Cuisine: Cooking time: 25 mins Serving: 4-6 people

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

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.
