Seasonal tips and ideas from Class One Chefs
Make the most of stunning Jersey Royals in a range of warm salads. Mix with green beans and pesto,
topped with burrata, or roast the potatoes and mix with fresh tomatoes, red onion, feta and zesty garlic dressing. For an Easter special, alternate marinated lamb chunks and Jersey Royals on skewers and grill
or barbecue until nicely charred. (Picture above)
Local rhubarb is a spring treat, which can be
used in lots of different ways. Mix a refreshing
rhubarb and strawberry cocktail to add to
your drinks specials, or try a rhubarb and
date chutney to serve with pork or mackerel,
or on a cheese board. For desserts, keep
it light with a rhubarb sorbet or meringue,
or indulge diners with a rich rhubarb and
custard roulade.
For a seasonal starter
or brunch dish, elevate
the classic poached
egg by deep frying it
in breadcrumbs and
serving with asparagus,
wild garlic, pea shoots
and watercress.
