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

Their book, containing more than 100 delicious Halogen recipes, entitled “The Halogen Oven Cookbook”, is available through the Amazon link down the page to the right in our sidebar. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Method

This is a basic Spanish tortilla, but feel free to add some different ingredients, such as peas, chopped red pepper, ham, chorizo, fresh tomato or cheese.

In a medium saucepan, boil the cubed potato for 6 minutes in boiling water, then drain and set aside.

Place a cup of boiling water into the base/glass bowl of the halogen oven. This helps to slow down the browning process.

Place the sliced onion on the round oven tray with the butter and oil.

Cook on the low rack in the halogen oven at 260°C (500°F) for 6 minutes. Add the potatoes, mix well and cook for 5 minutes more.

In a small bowl, mix the eggs with the milk, water, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Lower the heat in the halogen oven to 150°C (300°F) and cook for 12 minutes. Slice and serve hot or cold.

Method

Sweet potatoes are often overlooked as a topping in place of traditional mash. They cook more quickly than potatoes, are a fabulous orange colour and give a little spice and sweetness to the dish. You will need a large shallow ovenproof dish 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. Peel the sweet potatoes, cut into pieces and cook in boiling water until soft and drain. Whilst still hot, add the milk, butter and black pepper, then mash with a potato masher or crush with a fork.

3. Cut the pepper in half, remove and discard the seeds and stalk, and very finely chop.

4. Put the chopped pepper into the dish and pour over the tomatoes and crème fraîche. Stir in the spinach leaves, fennel seeds and a little black pepper.

5. Put into the hot oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly and the peppers soften.

6. Remove the dish from the oven (turn the timer to keep the oven on) and lay the fillets on top of the sauce. Drizzle over the oil and cook for 12-15 minutes until the fish is just cooked. As before, remove from the oven and spread a thin layer of mashed sweet potato on top of the fish. Turn up the heat to 250°C (482°F) and cook for 10 minutes until the mash is piping hot, slightly browned and cooked through.
