Serves: 5

Ingredients: 

4 tins of good quality chopped tomatoes

100ml olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

10 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 red peppers, diced

1 chilli pepper, finely chopped

3 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp cumin seeds

1 tbsp sumac

1 tsp chilli powder

5 eggs

1 bunch coriander, finely chopped

2 tbsp za’atar

Recipe of the Month: Shakshuka

A beautifully simple dish that's perfect if you have friends coming round for brunch. Once you know how to make this one-pan wonder, you can adjust it to suit your preferences. Add chorizo, ramp up the heat with extra chilli, or scatter some feta on top before serving.

EGG set up: Direct

Recommended charcoal: Oak & Hickory

EGG target temperature: 180˚C then 140˚C

Cooking time: 1 hour

Method:

  1. Set up your EGG for direct cooking, with the Stainless Steel Grid. Your target temperature is initially 180˚C.

  2. Add the olive oil, onion, red peppers and chilli pepper to the Big Green Egg Paella Pan. Burp your EGG, open the dome and place on the Stainless Steel Grid. Cook, stirring regularly, for 15 minutes. Add the garlic and spices (except the za’atar) and cook, continuing to stir, for a further 10 minutes.

  3. Add the tomatoes, turn your EGG down to 140˚C and cook for 30 minutes. Make small wells in the mixture and crack in your eggs. Cook for a further 6-7 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Scatter over the za’atar and coriander and serve with some fresh flatbreads.

Warm your heart (and your home) with Stamford Stoves this Valentine’s Day

Going out for Valentine’s Day is overrated; who needs busy restaurants when you can create the perfect date night from the comfort of your own home? With the help of Everhot and Charnwood Stoves, we’ve created the perfect Valentine’s set-up for a night-in with your favourite someone.

Create a delicious grazeboard

Start your evening by creating a tasty grazeboard together. Gather an assortment of your favourite snacks, arranging them carefully on a wooden board - sweets, fruits, nuts, crisps and even cheese make a great choice. 

Ever tried melting chocolate using your Everhot Range Cooker? The ‘keep warm’ setting on the induction hob allows you to gently heat the chocolate in a pan until smooth. No more gritty chocolate sauce!

Toasted treats

After you’re finished in the kitchen, set up a cosy spot by your fireplace. We recommend toasting marshmallows and crumpets using the Charnwood Toasting Fork; skewer and roast in front of the stove until they’re ready for dipping in the melted chocolate, or topping with treats from your grazeboard.

If you’re looking for a new stove, the Charnwood C-Five Blu featured here is a great option; available as a wood or multi-fuel stove, in a choice of 8 colours.

Enjoy!

Finish off the evening with a glass of prosecco or two - there’s something very romantic about watching the flickering glow of the fire with your favourite person.

More about Charnwood Stoves

A J Wells & Sons Ltd, manufacturers of Charnwood Stoves, was founded in 1972 when Alfred Wells and two of his sons started a small engineering business in Niton on the Isle of Wight. Over the last forty years they have grown from their original small factory of around 1500 sq. ft to their current site of over 50,000sq. Ft.

As the oldest British manufacturer of wood burning stoves, run by second and third generations of the family, they are dedicated to providing products of enduring design and of the highest quality.

They have always been keen to provide local employment on the Isle of Wight and have seen the number of employees rise from the original 3 to well over 150. They are very proud of their workforce who have rewarded them by staying loyal to the company, with many staff having worked with Charnwood for over 25 years.

Charnwood Stoves also have a firm focus on protecting the environment and ensuring their operations are sustainable and responsible.

They operate a policy of caring for the environment in all aspects of the business; from the products they design, the way they package them, the way they transport them, the way they deal with disposal of waste products, the vehicles they use, their choice of raw materials and where they choose to buy them.

Equally, wood is one of the few renewable fuels. Growing trees for fuel is a viable and sensible option. Using wood means we are preserving our valuable fossil fuel reserves for future generations. From design right through to delivery, Charnwood go above and beyond to ensure that they embrace efficient, environmentally friendly methods and processes that will help protect our planet and its resources.

Recipe of the month: Valentine’s pancakes

With Valentine’s Day and Pancake Day falling so close together this year, why not try a recipe that combines the two? This super simple recipe for blueberry pancakes is taken from the Everhot cookbook (available to buy for £19.99). All that’s left to do is choose your favourite toppings!

Serves: 6 - 8

Ingredients: 

115g self raising flour 

30g caster sugar 

1 whole egg 

150ml milk 

50g blueberries 

Method:

Place the blueberries to one side and add the remaining ingredients to a mixing bowl. Blend together to form a smooth batter.  

Save a few blueberries to garnish then add the remaining blueberries to the batter, gently folding them into the mixture. 

Using the simmer plate, rub a little oil onto the plate and place a ladle's worth of batter directly on to the plate. You can use BakeOGlide on the simmer plate or a frying pan on the hot plate if you prefer. 

Cook for approximately 3 minutes until the pancake has risen and bubbles are coming through the mixture. Now turn the pancake over, you are looking for a golden-brown colour on each side, the pancakes should be light and fluffy. 

To serve, garnish with the remaining fresh blueberries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
