Method

Cook

50min

Roll out the puff pastry to 2mm thick and cut out two rounds - 20cm diameter and 18cm diameter. Keep in the fridge.

Put the caster sugar into a shallow pan and heat until it becomes a brown caramel.

Roughly chop the walnuts and add to the pan. Add some drops of water until the walnuts are soft. Add the butter and turn the heat off.

Put the walnut puree, ground almonds, caster sugar, double cream and salt into a bowl...

Add the vanilla extract and rum and mix well.

Add Step 3 to Step 5 and mix together well.

Put the 18cm round pastry onto a backing sheet and spread evenly with the paste from Step 6, leaving 1cm rim all around the edge.

Brush some beaten egg around the edge.

Cover with the 20cm round pastry and press down with a fork all around the edge to seal it.

Score a pattern on the top pastry and brush with beaten egg.

Put into a preheated oven 180C (Gas mark 4) for 30 minutes. Slice and serve.

This is the vacuum-packed and tinned walnuts I used.

Osso Buco

Osso Buco, which translates as “hole of bone” is pure meaty awesomeness. Placing on a bed of risotto or polenta pays tribute to Osso Buco’s roots and takes this Italian comfort food to another level. Traditionally, Osso Buco is made with veal but see how I make Beef Osso Buco, a carnivorous wreath.

Risotto doesn't always have to be the star of a dinner menu, it can also serve as a great bed for another dish which it does in episode 106 of POV Italian Cooking where I make a simple Beef Tomato Risotto.

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs, Sous Vide

It can be difficult to make a perfect hard-boiled egg that has a creamy yolk and a tender white. Overcooking a hard-boiled egg, which is easy to do, results in a chalky and sometimes greenish yolk, a rubbery egg white and a slightly sulfuric taste. In this video I demonstrate how I use my sous vide to get the perfect hard-boiled egg.
