The nugget and burger sides

The list is endless!

Make your own coleslaw – see the Salad label 15th April 2017 for The coleslaw conundrum – the raw slaw principle.

Make your own mayo – see the Sauce label Matt's mayonnaise - Stick blender mayo recipe 7thSeptember 2019.

Do you like heat – if it's a yes then you might like this onion salad. You can make it as per the recipe below or slice the onion into thin rings, combine the ingredients marked * then coat the rings and leave to marinade.

Here goes :

2 medium onions, finely chopped -

weight 150g per onion approximately

*celery salt and black pepper

*2 tbsp fresh orange juice

*1 tbsp lemon juice

*1 tbsp tomato paste

*pinch of chill powder or chilli flakes

Place the onions in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Place the salad in sealed airtight containers and store in a cool place.

The secret to this side is that you should not serve it for at least a day, preferably two after making it. It's important that the orange and lemon juice and the tomato paste are allowed to “mature” - leaving it to infuse takes away any harshness from the onion and the tomato paste. If you're an onion fan this side is perfect to serve with strong cheddar cheese and cold meats too.

There are the old favourites of course, fresh shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and a burger bun of your choice – in my case brioche, lightly toasted.

Now back to my recent mission – to produce another cake without flour …
