Episode notes
Make Silky Curried Sweet Potato Soup
- Cook onions, sweet potatoes and carrots in coconut oil, then add red curry paste for aroma before adding stock and coconut milk.
- Blitz the soup and finish with 50g butter for a silky, rich texture.
Build Depth For Beef Bourguignon
- Caramelise inexpensive cuts like beef cheeks or brisket in a heavy pot to build deep stew flavour before adding vegetables and liquid.
- Layer flavours with tomato purée, mustard, herbs, red wine and stock, then simmer until tender.
Choose The Right Slow Cook Method
- Deglaze the pot after browning meat, then return beef and simmer on stove for 2–2.5 hours or in oven for 3–4 hours.
- Alternatively use a slow cooker on medium for about six hours for convenient, even cooking.
