• 500g potatoes (ideally Maris Piper or King Edward)
• ½ tsp ground cayenne pepper
• Frylight
• Reduced fat mayonnaise to serve

Method

1. Place the mussels in a large bowl of cold water. Sort through by lightly tapping any that are open to see if they close shut. Discard any damaged mussels and ones that remain open. Pull off the beard, and remove any barnacles using the back of a knife – rinse well.
2. Thinly slice the vegetables, garlic and chilli. Stack the thin sticks together and finely chop. Add the thyme sprigs (without stalks).

Ingredients

• 500g salt cod
• Handful fresh parsley
• 2 banana shallots
• Lemon
• 3 onions, finely sliced
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Black pepper
• 10 black olives
• 10 green olives
• ½ tsp chilli flakes
• 30ml red wine vinegar
• 500g potatoes (ideally Maris Piper)
• Frylight
• 6 large eggs, beaten
• Sea salt

Method

1. Place the cod in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Leave to soak for at least 12 hours, draining and covering with fresh water every 3-4 hours.
2. When you are ready to cook, separate the parsley leaves and stalks. Finely slice the stalks and put the leaves to one side. Peel and finely slice the shallots into rounds. Using a peeler, peel away a few strips of lemon zest.
3. Half-fill a large pan with water and place over a high heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Drain and add the salt cod, then add the parsley stalks, shallots and lemon peel. Poach for 20 minutes, or until the cod starts to soften and flake apart.
4. Meanwhile, put 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan and place on a medium heat – add the onions. Season with pepper and cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden and starting to caramelise, stirring regularly.
5. Meanwhile, crush the olives into a medium bowl. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and add half to the bowl along with the chilli flakes, vinegar and olive oil. Mix well, then set aside.
6. Using a slotted spoon, remove the salt cod to a plate. Pick out any bones, then flake the flesh into the onion pan along with a good splash of the poaching liquid. Cook for a further 10 minutes over a low heat, then remove the pan from the hob.
7. Peel, then finely cut the potatoes into matchsticks using a sharp knife (a mandolin may be easier). Place a medium pan over a high heat, spray with the Frylight and allow to heat up. Add the potato matchsticks and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until very lightly golden but not cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
8. Return the cod mixture to a medium heat, then stir in most of the remaining chopped parsley. Pour the eggs into the pan and gently stir. Fold in three-quarters of the potato matchsticks and take the pan off the heat – the eggs will continue to cook in the pan, so make sure you don't overcook them at this stage.
9. Return the remaining potato matchsticks back to the pan (spray more Frylight if needed) and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Season with salt.
10. Transfer the bacalhau to a serving dish and top with the crispy potato matchsticks. Spoon over the marinated olives and sprinkle the remaining chopped parsley on top.Serve with a green salad (remember to add the extra calories).

You will need:

• 1 sushi rolling mat

Ingredients

For the dough:

• 512g all purpose flour
• 1 medium egg
• 240ml semi-skimmed milk
• 120ml water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar

For the filling:

• 450g beef mince, 5% Fat
• 450g turkey mince, 2% fat
• 1 medium onion
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Put the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg and stir until well mixed.
2. Add the milk and continue to stir. Then add the water and keep stirring until blended.
3. Now knead the dough with your hands. Once it is elastic and soft and doesn't stick to your hands, wrap in lightly greased cling film and put aside for 40-50 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the meat by mixing together the beef and turkey in a large bowl.
5. Grate the onion into the meat mixture – the onion juice will make the meat softer. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
6. When the dough has proved, knead again until soft and elastic. Cut a piece of the dough (about an apple size) and roll evenly until thin (about ½ centimetre). You may need to add a little flour to stop the dough sticking to the work surface.
7. Cut circles from the dough using a glass or a cutter. Put about 1 tsp of meat in each circle and make the shape of the ravioli.
8. When the raviolis are ready, drop into a large pan of boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Ravioli will float to the top when cooked – remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
9. Serve with a toppings or sauce of your choice (remember to add the extra calories).
