    25g chives, roughly cut into 2cm lengths
    75ml olive oil
    2 large (750g) fennel bulbs, trimmed, halved lengthways and finely shaved on a mandolin or by hand

    SCREEN: Corrie and Caro discuss a Screen: Slow Horses (series 4) on Apple TV
    FOOD: Caro has a Recipe: Mediterranean baked fish with tomato and fennel
    Serves 4
    2 large fennel bulbs, thinly sliced (500g) plus the fronds for garnish
    5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    3 tbsp olive oil
    2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and lightly crushed
    2 tsp fennel seeds, toasted and lightly crushed
    1 tbsp tomato paste
    150ml ouzo
    600g peeled and chopped plum tomatoes
    1 tsp caster sugar
    2 tbsp thyme leaves, picked, plus extra for garnish
    2 strips of shaved lemon peel
    600g fish cut into 4cm chunks
    200g sheep’s milk feta, broken into 2cm chunks
    60g unsalted butter
    1 tsp chilli flakes
    2 tsp lemon juice
    Salt & pepper
    Preheat the oven to 220ºC.
    In a large frying pan sauté the fennel and garlic in the olive oil on a medium heat for about 10 minutes or until softened. Add the cumin and fennel seeds and cook for another minute. Stir in the tomato paste and then add the raki or ouzo. Allow this to bubble away for a couple of minutes. Mix in the tomatoes, sugar, half of the thyme, the lemon skin, 1 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper and stir well. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens, 15-20 minutes, adding a little extra water if it goes much thicker than your typical pasta sauce. Taste and add salt and pepper accordingly. Remove from the heat and discard the lemon peel.
    Divide the hot sauce evenly between four individual casserole dishes or small pans. Alternatively, use one large dish. Season the sea bass pieces with salt and pepper and dot them inside, skin side down. Arrange over the squid followed by the prawns. Press the feta pieces around the fish so that they are also slightly submerged in the sauce. Finish with the remaining tablespoon of thyme leaves. Place on the top shelf in the oven 8-12 minutes, depending on the size of your dishes, or until the seafood is just cooked, the sauce bubbles nicely and the cheese turns golden.
    Just before the casseroles are done, melt the butter in a small frying pan until it starts to foam. Add the chilli and cook until the butter just begins to brown. Pour in the lemon juice, stir and remove from the heat. Spoon this over the hot casseroles as soon as they come out of the oven. Sprinkle with the fennel fronds and serve hot with bread on the side.

    FOOD: Corrie has a Recipe: From the new Ottolenghi cookbook Comfort: Linguine with miso butter, shitake and spinach 
    190g dried linguine (or spaghetti)
    1tbsp olive oil
    10g unsalted butter, fridge-cold, cut into 2cm cubes
    1banana shallot, finely chopped (75g)
    150g fresh shiitake mushrooms, roughly sliced 3garlic cloves, crushed
    50g white miso paste
    1tsp light soy sauce
    I tbsp Chinkiang black (or malt) vinegar
    150g baby spinach leaves salt and black pepper
    To serve shichimi togarashi (or chilli flakes) lemon or lime wedges
    The butter, miso and cooking water al combine to emulsify and coat the linguine here in the most comforting of al sauces. It's totally creamy without the use of any cream, and is perfect for an easy mid-week supper.
    Ingredients note: The suggestion to add togarashi - the Japanese 7-spice mix - feels fusion and works well, but some regular chili flakes and a really (really!) good crack of black pepper works brilliantly too.
    Serves 2
    Bring a large saucepan with 2litres of water to the boil. Ad 1teaspoon of salt, followed by the pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain, saving 200ml of the cooking water.
    Meanwhile, put the oil and 15g of the butter into a large sauté pan and place on a medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook for about 5minutes, until soft but not taking on any colour. Add the mushrooms, along with a good grind of pepper, and cook for about 7minutes, until the moisture has evaporated and they are starting to brown. Add the garlic, miso, soy sauce and vinegar and stir for about 30 seconds until combined. Add the reserved pasta-cooking water, mxi well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and, keeping the mixture at a good simmer, ad the remaining 85g of butter piece by piece, stirring constantly until the sauce has emulsified and thickened slightly: this should take about 3minutes.
    Return the cooked pasta to the pan, toss for 30 seconds, then add the spinach. Toss and turn for a minute, until it has wilted, then serve with a generous shake of shichimi togarashi (or chili flakes and a few extra grinds of pepper) and lemon or lime wedges alongside for squeezing.

    To decorate
    2 teaspoons rosewater or apricot jam
    I teaspoon lemon juice
    2½ teaspoons finely chopped pistachios
    Put the dried apricots together with the cracked cardamom pods and seeds into a small saucepan and cover with the cold water. Bring to the boil and bubble for 10 minutes, checking occasionally that the pan hasn't run out of water.
    Remove from the heat and let the apricots cool.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease the sides of cake tin and line the bottom with baking paper.
    Remove five dried apricots and tear them in half for later use and make sure you also remove the cardamom husks, but leave the seeds in the pan.
    Scrape the remaining apricot mixture into a food processor with the ground almonds, polenta, baking powder, caster sugar and eggs and blitz until well combined.
    Open the food processor, scrape down the sides and add two teaspoons of lemon juice and the rosewater and blitz again.
    Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin, smooth the top, arrange the apricot halves around the circumference and pop in the oven to bake for 40 minutes. If the cake is browning up at the 30 minute mark, pop some alfoil loosely on the top.
    When it is ready, the cake will be coming away from the edges of the tin and a skewer will come out clean when tested.
    Place the cake in it's tin on a wire rack. If using apricot jam, just warm it a little to make it easier to spread. Stir in a teaspoon of lemon juice to jam and brush over the surface of the cake.
    Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top and leave the cake to cool in the tin.
    Cook's tip
    Store in an airtight container for 5-7 days or in the fridge if the weather is hot. The cake can also be frozen successfully for up to three months

    FOOD: Caro has a recipe: Beef tagliata - Italian recipes by GialloZafferano
    Ingredients:
    Entrecôte 28 oz (800 g) - (sirloin)
    Arugula ¾ cup (100 g)
    Cherry tomatoes ¾ cup (100 g)
    Salt to taste
    Black pepper to taste
    Extra virgin olive oil to taste
    Method:
    To prepare sliced beef tagliata with arugula and cherry tomatoes, make sure to take the piece of entrecôte out of the fridge at least one hour before cooking, as the meat must not be cooked cold. Wash and dry the arugula well. Then wash and cut the tomatoes in half 
    1. Move on to the meat: remove the fat (if present) from the surface 2, then divide the piece of meat into slices about 1 ½” (4 cm) thick 3. Heat the grill and let it warm up nice and hot. When the grill is hot, lay a piece (or maximum two) of meat 4, then reduce the heat, to medium-high and cook for about 3 minutes on that side. Then you can turn the meat with tongs (do not use a fork, so as not to pierce it and let the juices come out) and cook for another 3-4 minutes 5. To ensure that the cooking is rare, you can use a kitchen thermometer 6: when the core temperature is around 125-129° F (52-54° C), the meat is ready. Take it off the grill and leave it on the cutting board for a minute to let it rest and retain its juices 7 (if you have to leave it longer, cover it with aluminum foil). Then cut crosswise to obtain several slices with a sharp non-serrated knife 8. Arrange a bed of arugula on a serving plate, the beef tagliata, and some tomatoes 9. A drizzle of oil, flakes of salt (or coarse salt) and freshly ground pepper. and your sliced beef tagliata with arugula and cherry tomatoes is ready to be served!

    Salmon & prawn pie in a pan | Jamie Oliver recipes
    Ingredients
    olive oil
    1 x 270g pack of filo pastry
    smoked paprika
    100 g couscous
    800 g ripe mixed-colour tomatoes
    2 x 130g salmon fillets, skin off, pin-boned , from sustainable sources
    165 g raw peeled king prawns , from sustainable sources
    2 lemons
    1 bunch of dill (20g)
    Method
    1.   Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
    2.   Brush a 30cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan with olive oil and layer in three sheets of filo. Brush with oil again and dust from a height with paprika. Layer in the remaining sheets, leaving a good overhang. Brush with oil again, then sprinkle in the couscous.
    3.   Finely slice the tomatoes and layer half into the pan, then season with a small pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Slice each salmon fillet into three lengthways and arrange on top, then scatter over the prawns.
    4.   Finely grate over the lemon zest. Finely chop and scatter over the dill, layer over the remaining tomatoes and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add another small pinch of salt and pepper, then fold in the overhanging filo to cover, scrunching it as you go.
    5.   Brush with a little more oil, squeeze over the lemon juice and dust with more paprika.
    6.   Place over a high heat on the hob until it starts to sizzle – about 4 minutes – then bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Nice served with a dollop of yoghurt and a seasonal salad.

Heat olive oil in a large casserole dish with a lid over medium heat. Add the pork shoulder, fat side down, and allow it to brown undisturbed for about 5 minutes until caramelised. Turn the pork over and repeat, ensuring all sides get caramelised. Use tongs to prop the pork against the side of the pan to brown the sides.Once browned, turn the shoulder fat side up. Pour in the apple cider and chicken stock.Add mustard, garlic and thyme, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat.Cover pork shoulder loosely with baking paper - this will help keep things nice and tender - and put the lid on (or move to a baking dish and double cover with foil). Place in the oven and cook for 3 hours.Carefully remove from the oven and arrange onion and apple wedges around the pork shoulder. Cover and return to the oven for another 30 minutes. At this stage the meat should be falling apart, and the apples and onions tender. Remove from the oven, spoon over the juices and let it rest for 20 minutes before serving. Remove any garlic skins. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.Serve pork spooned over mashed potato with plenty of braising liquid. I like to serve it with a dollop of hot English mustard and steamed greens.

    FOOD: Corrie has a recipe: Harissa and lemon roasted chicken thighs      
    RECIPE:
    This is such a simple recipe that I confess I have been making it for years and never thought I’d put it in one of my books.
    It's so handy and versatile, as it can be sliced and stuffed into pitta bread or wraps and sandwiches for lunchboxes, shredded and added to salads, or used in stir-fries or rice noodle dishes. But it also pairs perfectly with steamed rice or naan in the same way tandoori chicken does. You can also marinate the chicken up to 48 hours in advance, or freeze the marinated raw chicken for use at a later date or for batch cooking.
    SERVES 4-6
    1kg boneless,
    skinless chicken thighs
    2 heaped tablespoons rose harissa
    150g Greek yogurt
    finely grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon
    Maldon sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
     
    To serve (optional) flatbreads coriander leaves thinly sliced spring onions lemon wedges Preheat the oven to 240°C (220°C fan), Gas Mark 9. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
    Put the chicken thighs into a mixing bowl, add the other ingredients with a generous amount of salt and pepper and turn the chicken to coat well in the mixture, preferably using your hands.
    Lay the chicken thighs on the lined tray and roast for 40 minutes or until sticky and charred around the edges and cooked through.
    To serve, slice the chicken and serve in warmed flatbreads with Greek yogurt, coriander leaves, sliced spring onions and alongside lemon wedges for squeezing over.
