Welcome

September is all about a return to routine – whether it’s getting your alcohol consumption back on track after summer parties and holidays (and in advance of Christmas...) or packing the kids back off to school.

On the school front, my mum was a bit militant when it came to lunchboxes. At primary school, we’d be the only kids eating carrots and chicken drumsticks, and by the time we were older, she’d often get us to make our sandwiches a week in advance and freeze them. Particularly funny was the time she made me do this during the school holidays...

September’s also the month most of us start to think about our finances and how to budget for Christmas. As depressing as it sounds, it’s a reality and more about being savvy than Scrooge. We’ve got some great tips to help you in our money feature on page 74.

I’m really excited about our new Asda recipe website, where you’ll find all your family’s favourite Asda Magazine recipes.

It’s perfect for back-to-school meal ideas or cooking with the kids during the weekends. Check it out at ASDA.com/recipes.

Runaway success Award-winning producer John Harper reveals what it takes to cultivate fresh, tender runner beans for Asda stores

My father bought Top Barn, near to the River Severn in Worcestershire, in the mid-1960s. I bought the 750acre farm from him in 2003, and I now own and run Harper Farming with my wife, Alice. My brothers, Mike and Richard are also involved in different Top Barn projects.

Our runner bean season starts in February. We lay plastic mulch to prevent weeds from growing, plant seeds and use cloches to prevent frost and promote early growth.

We use bamboo canes to support the growth of the plants, which twirl up and around the sticks. The fast-growing bean pods then hang straight down next to the red flowers.

PHOTOGRAPHS: WILLIAM SHAW

We harvest everything by hand.

The runner beans are ready to pick at the end of June, when they’re tender and stringless. We harvest twice a week for six to seven weeks.

Our unique joint venture with Asda’s supplier Minor, Weir & Willis ensures that you receive high quality British runner beans in the shortest possible time after harvest.

I’m thrilled we were awarded the coveted title of ‘Vegetable Grower of the Year’ at the 2013 Horticulture Week Grower of the Year awards. It’s

a real boost to be acknowledged in this way by the rest of the industry.

My favourite way to enjoy runner beans is in a salad. I use a bean slicer to trim them, then simmer in water, chill, and add to a Feta cheese salad, drizzled with dressing.

FACT FILE

30CM is the length of the pods when they’re harvested 60 SEASONAL PICKERS are employed by the farm to hand-pick the runner beans 20 TONNES of runner beans are supplied to Asda every week by John’s farm.

Squash & Feta salad

Spotlight on butternut squash

The sweet and nutty flavour of butternut squash is great in risottos, stuffed pasta, curries and soups. To prepare, cut down the middle lengthways, remove the seeds and fibrous string, then peel and chop as required.

V

♦ Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C Fan/Gas 6. Halve, deseed, peel and cube a small butternut squash.

Put in a roasting tin and drizzle with a little oil. Bake for 25-35 minutes until tender. ♦ Leave to cool, then toss with a handful of rocket and arrange on serving plates.

Crumble over Feta, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

SEPTEMBER 2013 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | 19

Damon Johnson Head of Produce Quality

Savoy cabbage is more sweet and tender than green, red or white varieties.

It works brilliantly in this colcannon, as a change from the traditional kale, because the ridged leaves keep their texture well when cooked and are great for holding the gravy. Savoy is also good in broths, stews and stir-fries.

Colcannon with sausages ♦ Put some shredded Savoy cabbage in a pan with a good knob of butter and cook over a low heat for 2-3 minutes until tender, stirring frequently. ♦ Add some trimmed, chopped spring onions and cook for another minute. Mix with freshly cooked mashed potato and seasoning. ♦ Serve the colcannon with Asda Extra Special sausages and gravy.

pine nuts

Why not try… grapes?

Did you know that grapes can be used in savoury dishes as well as sweet ones? Try them in couscous salads, mild curries or tagines, or stir halved grapes into coleslaw.

These little teardrop-shaped nuts are wonderful for adding texture and taste to stuffings and salads. You could also: ● Add some chopped pine nuts to a herb crust for fish. ● Toast nuts in a non-stick pan (no oil) for 2 minutes and sprinkle over cooked pasta. ● Mix whole pine nuts into meatball or burger mixtures. ● Blitz with garlic, basil, lemon juice and olive oil for pesto.

3 ways with… broccoli?

To prepare broccoli, remove any outer leaves and cut off small, evenly-sized florets from the stem. Wash under running water to clean.

You can also eat the stem – discard the tough end, slice thinly and add to soups or stir-fries.

flavour good for salad dressings – or add a small dash to pork dishes and apple sauces.

Red or white wine vinegars are used for a classic vinaigrette and are also good in marinades.

Balsamic vinegar is aged and matured for a sweeter flavour, so it’s delicious simply drizzled over a salad. Try it over strawberries, too.

ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS: VINEGAR Malt vinegar is traditionally used to make pickles and chutneys. Or sprinkle on chips!

EXPERT ADVICE

DID YOU KNOW? Peeling shallots can be much easier if you let them soak in a bowl of recently boiled water for 10 minutes. Leave to cool, then the outer dry skin will rub off.

Wine winner Pour any leftover wine ne into ice cube trays and d freeze. The cubes are e ideal to add to recipes, s, such as casseroles, that call for a small amount of wine.

Save your milk The equivalent of six million glasses of milk are thrown away every day from homes in the UK*.

Avoid having to discard gone-off milk with our tips: ● Freeze cartons or plastic bottles of milk for up to eight weeks so you always have some in stock. ● On hot days, bring a cool bag with you to the store to keep the milk fresher for longer. ● Use up extra milk in rice pudding or custard – or make a sauce for cauliflower cheese.

MEAT SHORTCUTS Kitchen must-have This Elegant Living Knife Block, £25, has all the knives you’ll need for cutting and chopping. Sharpen knives regularly and they’ll perform better.

If you want to get dinner on the table fast, speed up the cooking time for cuts of meat with simple pre-preparation. ♦ Cutting chicken fillets through the middle makes thinner pieces that will cook faster. ♦ Bashing steaks with a rolling pin or the base of a saucepan before frying or grilling makes flatter, quicker-cooking steaks – and also tenderises the meat.

Masterclass

Toad in the hole Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mastered making the batter for this classic dish, you can use it to make Yorkshire puddings and pancakes

SEPTEMBER 2013 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | 41

Glynis McGuinness

Food Editor

This batter is great for toad in the hole and Yorkshire puddings, which are traditionally, made with lard or dripping; you need a good layer of melted fat in the base of the tin. The batter can also be used for classic pancakes – lovely served savoury or sweet.

1

Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.

Sift the flour, salt and mustard powder into a large bowl. Season well with black pepper.

Make a hole in the middle of the flour mixture and break the eggs into it. Add a quarter of the milk and use a balloon whisk to beat the eggs and milk. Gradually draw the flour into the liquid to make a thick, smooth batter. Run a spatula around the bowl to make sure there are no trapped pockets of flour. Whisk again.

2

Gradually add the rest of the milk, gently whisking all the time until you have a smooth batter. Alternatively, you could make the batter in a blender or food processor. If so, always add all of the milk and eggs first, then the flour mixture, and run the machine until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into a jug and set it aside for at least 30 minutes to rest if you have time – see the tip, below.

SERVES 4 READY IN 1HR 15 MINS PRICE PER SERVING 70p

For the batter 115g plain flour ¼ level tsp salt ½ level tsp dry mustard powder 2 large eggs 275ml semi-skimmed milk 50g lard

Put the lard in a small roasting tin.

Heat in the oven for 8 minutes, until the fat has melted and is very hot. Arrange the sausages in the tin, distributing them evenly. Roast in the oven for another 4 minutes, to heat the sausages and to ensure that the tin and oil are very hot before the batter goes in. Whisk the batter again to make sure it’s evenly mixed.

4

Remove the roasting tin from the oven and immediately pour the batter into it – the steam caused by the mixture touching the hot fat causes the batter to rise. Put the tin straight back into the oven and cook for another 25 minutes until the batter is brown and puffed up.

Serve with mashed potato, green beans and onion gravy.

GLYNIS’ TIPS ● Resting the batter before cooking allows the flour grains to swell and the gluten to relax, so the mixture is lighter and crisper when cooked. ● For a healthier version of toad in the hole, replace

42 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | SEPTEMBER 2013

the lard with 2tbsp sunflower oil (making sure it coats the side and base of the tin) and use reduced-fat sausages and skimmed milk. The batter won’t puff up as much as the traditional recipe, but will still taste great.

Slimming success Sara Staveley from Doncaster felt unhappy about her weight after having two kids, so she joined Slimming World

‘I was literally bursting out of my size 16 jeans when i joined slimming World in march last year,’ says sara. ‘it was a photo posted on Facebook that made me get the courage to go along to my local group – i couldn’t believe how big i looked. ‘before that, my eating had been erratic. i’d skip meals, then eat loads the next day. When i had meals with my kids, ava J and ashton, i’d eat their leftovers as well as my own food. no wonder my weight went up to almost 12 stone.’

Sara’s vital statistics height: 5ft 8in starting weight: 11st 12lb Weight now: 9st 9lb Weight lost: 2st 3lb

Group support ‘it was a big thing to walk into the slimming World group for the first time. i needn’t have worried, though, as everyone was so friendly – i couldn’t have done it without the group’s support. ‘i chose the extra easy eating plan because there’s so much variety and choice, which means it fits around looking after a young family. i loved

the fact that there’s no need to count or weigh foods – and being able to eat unlimited Free Foods means i’ve never felt hungry. i set myself the goal of exercising, too, so now i do zumba and bokwa dance fitness classes. ‘i knew i’d come down to my ideal

Sara’s favourite menu Breakfast ‘I love a full English breakfast, with eggs, grilled bacon, mushrooms, beans and tomatoes.’ lunch ‘Something fast and filling – a chicken salad sandwich on wholemeal bread, followed by a large bowl of fresh fruit salad with fat-free yogurt. Delicious!’

80 | asda.com/magazine | september 2013

DInner ‘A family favourite is homemade spaghetti bolognese.’ snacks ‘Lots of fruit, a Kit Kat and a nice glass of wine at the end of the day.’

‘Slimming World has become a way of life for me.

I now love eating well and keeping fit, because it makes me feel better in every way’ weight on the day of ashton’s christening. my husband anthony took a photo of me and said, “You look really lovely”. i’m a size 10 now and so much more relaxed and happy overall. i’ve found my old self – and discovered a positive outlook on life in the process.’

Beat morning mayhem After the holidays, getting the kids out on time can be a challenge. Here are five tried and tested ideas to help

1

GET AHEAD Prepare as much as possible the night before, to avoid too many last-minute arguments when everyone gets up in the morning. Set out the kids’ clothes or school uniforms and make packed lunches in advance, so that everything’s ready to hand.

2

Cheat the time Set the main kitchen clock 5 minutes early – and don’t tell the kids. You’ll buy yourself a little extra time.

4

3

Avoid bathroom queues Stagger the times your kids get up – start with the ones that need most help.

PUT IT ON A LIST Create a calendar of all the kids’ lessons and after-school clubs – and stick it on the fridge or by the front door where everyone can see it.

Incorporate a checklist of the relevant sports kit or arts equipment they will need to take with them, so you’ll know who needs what when.

Make a timetable Map out all the morning’s essential activities in advance and give each one a time frame.

For example, tell the kids that getting dressed can only take 10 minutes.
