Halloumi And Watercress Brunch Salad (Vegetarian)

Halloumi And Watercress Brunch Salad (Vegetarian).

Lazy weekends are the ideal time to make the perfect brunch. So, if you’re looking for a recipe for a leisurely repast, and one that is nutritious and delicious too, these three new watercress recipes are certain to appeal.

Halloumi and Watercress Brunch Salad; Baked Egg Avocado Watercress Boats; and Chorizo, Cheese and Watercress Toastie are easy to prepare, quick to cook and are bursting with flavour. Using watercress, grown in flowing spring water in beds from around Hampshire and Dorset, the recipes are nutritious as well as delicious. The peppery leaf contains over 50 essential vitamins and minerals and gram for gram more calcium than milk, more folate than banana, more vitamin c than oranges and more vitamin E than broccoli – it’s the original superfood.

But what makes watercress especially good for brunch is that its packed full of antioxidants, ideal to mop up the free radicles produced as a result of the night before! It’s also high in fibre, iron and vitamin C without which the body cannot effectively absorb plant-sourced iron. Everything you need to start the day well, which after all, is what brunch is all about, often after an excessive night before!

So, whether you’re brunching with friends, enjoying a romantic brunch with your partner, getting together with the family, or treating yourself to some ‘me’ time, brunch is a time to pause for breath after a frantic week. Simply take time to enjoy the flavours of these recipes and discover that brunch time is the best time!

How To Make Halloumi and Watercress Brunch Salad (Vegetarian):

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
  • 2 x 85g bags watercress
  • 1 block halloumi, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 large avocado, halved and sliced
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 4 free-range eggs
  • 50ml distilled malt vinegar (malt vinegar and white wine vinegar could also be used)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Mixed seeds, i.e. pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, pine nuts


Method:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180ᵒC. Halve the tomatoes and place onto an oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place into the oven and roast for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  2. Place a large pan of water on high heat and add in the vinegar. Bring to the boil. While the water boils prepare your other ingredients.
  3. Place a frying pan over medium-high heat and add in a splash of oil. Once the oil is hot throw in the halloumi and pan-fry, moving occasionally so that the cubes are golden on all sides.
  4. Crack the eggs into mugs or ramekins, then reduce the boiling water to a simmer and gently tip in the eggs. Cook for 3 minutes 30 seconds, then remove from the water with a slatted spoon and allow to drain on a kitchen towel.
  5. Toast the sourdough, then place a slice on the side of each of the four plates. Place half a bag of watercress onto each plate, then arrange the tomatoes, avocado and halloumi on top. Top with a perfectly poached egg, then scatter over with mixed seeds and nuts and serve!

Strawberry Prosecco Jam Recipe

Strawberry Prosecco Jam Recipe. Hello, lovelies. So are you trying to find a recipe for jam that has a little flare to it? 

Consider creating a strawberry prosecco jam? 

Great for a garden party. So how is strawberry prosecco jam made, you might ask?

Strawberry Prosecco Jam Recipe

Strawberry Prosecco Jam Recipe:In a sizable heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, combine the strawberries, prosecco, and Tate & Lyle Jam Sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved. Increasing the heat, boil steadily for 10 minutes, and watch the jam carefully to make sure it doesn't boil too quickly.

Sterilize 4 x 450g jars in the meantime by washing them in hot, soapy water, thoroughly rinsing them, and then putting them in a low oven set to 150°C/Fan 130°C/Gas Mark 2 for 10 minutes. Full ingredients and recipe below:

This fabulous jam is just right for serving with scones and clotted cream (and a glass of fizz!) for the perfect afternoon tea. Can some jam be made without pectin? This one can as it does not contain pectin. Just make sure you cook it for long enough. But not too long. Remember when you think it is ready to do the setting point test.

Strawberry Prosecco Jam


Strawberry Prosecco Jam:


Strawberry Prosecco Jam, I Wasn't Expecting That!

Preparation 5 mins
Cooking 15-20 mins
Makes 5 x 450g jars

Ingredients:
  • 150ml Prosecco
  • 1kg Tate & Lyle Jam Sugar
  • 1kg strawberries

Should jam be boiled slowly or rapidly? Increase the heat and boil steadily for 10 minutes, taking care to keep an eye on the jam to ensure that it doesn’t boil too rapidly.

How To Make This Recipe:
  1. Put the prosecco, Tate & Lyle Jam Sugar, and strawberries into a large heavy-based saucepan and place over low heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Increase the heat and boil steadily for 10 minutes, taking care to keep an eye on the jam to ensure that it doesn’t boil too rapidly.
  3. Meanwhile, sterilize 4 x 450g jars by washing them in hot soapy water, rinsing well, then placing them in a low oven at 150°C/Fan 130°C/Gas Mark 2 for 10 minutes.
  4. Test the jam for the setting point. To check, remove the saucepan from the heat, spoon a little jam onto a cold plate and leave for 2 minutes – it should wrinkle softly when your finger is pushed over the surface. If this point has not been reached, return the saucepan to the heat and continue to boil for another 2 minutes. Test as before until the setting point is reached. (You may need to test several times, though be patient, as this testing is crucial to achieving the correct consistency).
  5. Pour the hot jam into the warm sterilized jars. Leave to cool, then seal and label.

Cook’s Tip:


Chill a stack of small plates in the fridge, so that you have a few lined up for checking the setting point. I Wasn't Expecting That. Were you?
