Minestrone Soup

One look at the ingredients list is enough to tell you that our Minestrone Soup recipe is anything but boring! The pasta in your minestrone soup (your choice which you use, but something small is the preference) helps to add some filling bulk, but we won’t pass up a piece of bread on the side. With a tomato base and plenty of vegetables, we add an extra depth of flavour with crispy golden pancetta and a pinch of chilli. To begin, dice the pancetta, tomato, potato, carrots, celery and onion all into 1cm dice. (you can roughly chop the onion celery and carrot in a food processor if needed) Strain and rinse the borlotti beans. Place a large pot on induction, level 7 or 8 on FlameSelect. Add the olive oil and pancetta and fry for 2-4 minutes or until it has coloured golden brown. Add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic and chilli, fry until the onion becomes transparent then add the chicken stock and tomato, bring to the boil. Once boiling, add the potato and pasta and cook for a further 20 minutes before adding the borlotti beans and basil. Season your minestrone soup with salt and pepper and then serve.

Roast Turkey

To begin making your Roast turkey, remove the wish bone of the turkey then separate the skin from the flesh by running your fingers in between them both. Clean cavity and pat dry with paper towel. Mix the garlic, thyme, zest and oil together and place between the skin and flesh of the turkey. Fill cavity with stuffing. Truss the turkey following the NEFF demonstration video. Place on a wire rack, on top of the universal tray lined with baking paper. Insert the MultiPoint MeatProbe fully in to the breast, entering in from the shoulder. Place trays in the oven on level 2 of a full size oven or level 1 of a compact appliance. Select CircoTherm® at 160⁰C and a high level of steam. Connect the MultiPoint MeatProbe, set your core temperature to 75⁰C and press Start. Remove turkey from the oven, remove probe and allow oven to cool. Select Keep Warm function at 60⁰C with a high level of steam. Rest the turkey for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Turkey Stuffing Preheat oven on CircoTherm® at 160⁰C. Place almonds on the universal tray and cook for 5-10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Place almonds with remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Use to stuff turkey before trussing. If cooking stuffing separately, shape into a log, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. To cook stuffing, remove plastic wrap and place on universal tray lined with baking paper. Preheat oven on CircoTherm® to 160⁰ with a high level of steam and cook for 30-40 minutes. Serve sliced. Turkey Jus Place the chicken stock, beef stock and red wine in a medium to large saucepan. Place on Induction level 8 or FlameSelect® level 9 and bring to the boil. Add the garlic, thyme, honey and mustard then simmer on level 5-6 and reduce by half. Mix the cornflour and water together and whisk into the jus, simmer for a further 10 minutes and then strain through a fine sieve. If you have pan juices from your roast turkey add them just before the cornflour mix. Notes If using a frozen turkey, please ensure that it has been fully defrosted. Using VarioSteam® and the MultiPoint MeatProbe makes this recipe foolproof. While the added steam ensures that your turkey remains moist and flavourful, the meat probe monitors the internal temperature of your meat, automatically switching off your oven once it's been cooked to perfection.
