Here’s a delicious halogen recipe from Sarah Flower.

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. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Method

Mix together the garlic, chilli, rosemary, seasoning and olive oil to form a paste. Rub this over the leg of lamb. You can score the flesh first to help give the paste something to hold on to.

Place on the lower rack and cook for 15 minutes at 230°C (446°F).

Meanwhile, cut the potatoes to size and steam or parboil for 10 minutes. Drain and return to the empty saucepan. Add the paprika and semolina. Pop the lid back on the saucepan and shake to fluff up and coat the vegetables.

Place the potatoes around the lamb. Spray with olive oil. Halve the onions and place them with the vegetables, along with the rosemary sprigs.

Cook for another 10 minutes before turning down to 190°C (374°F) and cooking for 30 – 45 minutes or until both the meat and potatoes are cooked to your satisfaction.

The cooking time for lamb depends on the size of the joint. Remember to turn the lamb and vegetables regularly and add a spray of oil or paste as required.

Serve with homemade gravy.

Ingredients

6 tbsp finely shredded Swiss cheese, such Gruyère
2 tbsp sour cream or crème fraîche
salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp Dijon mustard
4 slices white sandwich bread, buttered
2 thin slices deli ham

Here’s a great 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.

Method

The traditional French ham and cheese sandwich is ideal for cooking in the halogen oven. It will be crisp and golden on the outside and succulent on the inside.

In a small bowl, mix the cheese with enough cream or crème fraîche for it to hold together. Add the seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and mustard, and mix until combined.

Place 2 slices of bread butter-side down on the oven tray. Divide the cheese mixture between them, and spread it right to the edges.

Add the deli ham, cutting it to fit, if necessary. Cover with the other 2 slices of bread, butter-side up, to make 2 sandwiches. Press down lightly.

Place the oven tray on the high rack of the halogen oven and cook at 200°C (400°F) for 3-4 minutes. Turn the sandwiches over and cook for 3-4 minutes more, or until golden brown on the outside and melting on the inside.

Another Way

To make a Croque Madame, add a fried egg to the sandwich just before cooking.
