Wild Mushrooms on Brioche with Panko Egg Yolk & Curled Leek
Here is my take on the ever classic and comforting dish mushrooms on toast, with a few little tricks thrown in that add a some flavour, texture and visual appeal. The crispy panko egg yolk tastes as good as it sounds, but can be a little bit tricky to perfect. If that sounds like a little bit too much, you can also fry or poach an egg to go on top.
Charred Leeks with Romesco Sauce
This recipe was inspired by the Catalan tradition of eating wonderfully dark and grilled calçots with a creamy fresh romesco sauce. The leeks respond really well to an intense heat like this and work beautifully with the richness of the sauce. I serve it as a side dish and it always goes down well.
