Stuffed Butternut Pumpkin With Risotto

Preheat the oven to CircoTherm® 170°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Slice the butternut pumpkin in half, lengthways and discard the seeds. Place the butternut pumpkin halves, cut side down, in the baking tray and roast for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, start on the risotto. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan, over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes until the onion softens. Add in the garlic, stir and cook for a further minute. Add in the rice and stir until the oil has coated the rice. Add in the wine and stir. Wait for the wine to almost fully absorb (stirring regularly) and then add the stock a ladle at a time - ensuring each ladle has almost fully absorbed before adding the next. Continue to stir regularly. After about 20 minutes, you should have used all of the stock, and the rice should have softened, but still have a slight bite to it. If the rice is still too hard, you can add in a ladle or so of hot water from the kettle and cook for a minute or two longer. Once the risotto is cooked, turn the heat down to very low. Add in the cheddar and stir to melt, then add in the lemon juice, salt, pepper and chestnuts. Give everything a good stir and cook for a further minute or two. Turn off the heat. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and carefully (use a tea towel to protect your hands) scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1-2 cm border all the way around. Stir the pumpkin into the risotto. Line the insides of the pumpkin halves with two-thirds of the kale leaves and spoon the risotto into the two halves. Top one of the halves with the cranberries and walnuts, and the other half with the remaining kale. Put the two halves of the pumpkin carefully back together again, and secure into place using kitchen twine. Do not pull the twine too tight, or it will cut through the pumpkin. Place back on the baking tray and cook on CircoTherm 170°C with low added steam (if available) for a further 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Serve decorated with fresh herbs, and more cranberries and walnuts if you like.

Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Vegetables

Rub the chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic. Season well. Slice fillet length wise, half way to form a pocket. Insert cheese and fresh herbs. Wrap fillet with prosciutto to encase filling and tie with kitchen string if desired. This can be prepared earlier and left to marinate or freeze for later use. Place fillet onto greased universal tray. Layer vegetables around circumference of the chicken. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice and seasoning as desired. Insert MultiPoint Meat Probe into thickest part of chicken and place in oven on Shelf Level 3. Select oven function CircoRoasting® at 180°C with a medium level of steam. Plug Meat Probe into oven and select core temperature 75°C for the chicken. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing the chicken diagonally. While the chicken is resting the vegetables can stay on the tray. Simply return the vegetables on the universal tray to the oven for a further 5 minutes to crisp by turning the steam off and continuing on CircoRoast to achieve desired result. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Gourmet Moussaka

Day 1 Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Sauté the carrot, onion, celery, cinnamon stick and bay leaves for 10 minutes on a low heat. Turn up the heat and add the meat. Brown on both sides for 5 minutes and pour in the wine. Simmer for 2 minutes and add the beef stock. Allow to simmer uncovered for 3-4 hours, over a very low heat, checking occasionally in case it needs more liquid. Once the meat can be shredded with a fork, add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Stir and reduce until all the liquid has evaporated for approx. 30 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves. Shred the meat with a fork once it has cooled. Slice 5 of the eggplants and put into a colander standing in the sink, sprinkling each layer with a bit of the coarse salt. Leave them for 30 minutes so some of the bitter juice drains from the eggplants. Rinse the eggplants thoroughly and dry with a tea towel. Fry the eggplants in olive oil in a frying pan in batches until browned on both sides. Remove each batch from the pan when ready and place on a bed of kitchen paper to absorb as much oil as possible overnight. Day 2 Blacken the 2 remaining eggplants over a naked flame, turning them every couple of minutes to blacken evenly, until the skins split, in order for the flavour to become deliciously smoky. Once cool, peel off the blackened skin (using a knife and kitchen paper or under running tap water). Chop finely. Heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Add the milk gradually, stirring constantly. Once the béchamel has thickened, add salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir. Add most of the grated cheese, stir and then tip in the chopped smoky eggplants. Mix thoroughly. In a large roasting pan, put a layer of fried eggplants, then a layer of ragu, and repeat until finished. Finally pour the béchamel over the top, sprinkle with grated cheese and a pinch of grated nutmeg and put on the middle rack of a preheated oven on CircoTherm at 180° C. Cook for approx. 50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for at least half an hour before serving. Traditionally, moussaka is accompanied with Greek feta cheese and a glass of rosé or red wine.

Using the MultiPoint MeatProbe insert it into the largest chicken and set the core temperature to 70 degrees on CircoRoast and add a high level of added steam. Start from a cold oven. Once cooked remove and cool the chicken, then shred or roughly chop. Place the rice into a steamer tray with the water, washed kidney beans and a teaspoon of salt. Steam for 20 minutes then cool and add to the chicken. Place the tomatoes into a medium mixing bowl and using the back of a spoon mash the tomatoes until they become a saucy consistency. Roughly chop half the coriander and mix into the sauce, then divide into thirds. Place the first third onto the bottom of a baking tray, mix the second third into the chicken and rice, use the last third to dip the tortillas into before adding the chicken mix and rolling up.
