Aside from the afternoon tea, that’s all part of the 7 course tasting menu (you choose between the lamb and the duck for one course).

That particular dish is stuffed sea bass, shrimp in brown butter, courgette puree, and then a roasted courgette topped with citrus gel, salt fingers and alysum flowers.

I have been around kids too long, my first thought was that the shrimp were Cheerios…

Yes they really are that green!

Homemade pea burgers ‘in build’ as @MonitorGold10 would say. Actually they’re undergoing chilling treatment for the next hour before being ready to shallow fry.

1 hour in the fridge, add half an hour of generalised kitchen faffing about so I’d say 8.30pm.

Have mix for another 4 in the fridge :drooling_face:

Thanks, Hel begs me constantly to make them, although I prefer my haloumi, mint and quinoa burgers.

So from the bowels of my cooking head I give you with some vagueness the recipe for green pea burgers.

Ingredients (to make 6 ish, maybe 8 depending on how thick a patty you make).

  • 500g of peas cooked and cooled
  • 200g of brown onions (usually 2-3 depending on size)
  • 4-6 cloves of garlic, chopped very thinly or minced
  • Some spring onions - 6 skinny ones or about 3 larger ones (Did i mention vague)
  • 2 large eggs
  • Chia seeds - optional but I like to put 2 tbsp of these in
  • Rapeseed oil
  • 1 tbsp of butter

Method

  • Peel the onions and cut into half and then cut each half into 4-6 lengthways
  • Spread out onions on baking sheet or dish and add the butter, some rapeseed oil and season with salt and pepper and roast in oven at 200 C for 30-40 mins. Remove and cool
  • Put all the ingredientsexcept the oil into a processor and blitz until the peas break up but not so far as you end up with a puree
  • Now either shape patties by hand or do what I did and spoon and press them into greased baking rings
  • Put into fridge for at least an hour
  • Remove from the rings if used and then fry in a lightly oiled pan, turning after about 5 mins. Typically 15 mins overall
  • Don’t burn them!

Edit: Optional - finely chopped fresh mint into the mixture. Hel omits the mint and prefers chopped red chilli instead but use sparingly to avoid overpowering the peas
