Make the most of forced rhubarb this season with t Make the most of forced rhubarb this season with this decadent weekend dessert. Sharp, rosy rhubarb sits nestled and waiting beneath a softly set vanilla custard, its tart fruitiness mellowed by the rich cream above, made all the more delicious with our organic Stonegate Estate egg yolks.
This is a combination that never tires. When rhubarb is scarce, gooseberries, plums or apples make a fine stand-in:

For the rhubarb:

4 large rhubarb sticks, trimmed and cut into 2-3 cm pieces
2 tbls golden caster sugar
2 tbls runny honey

For the custard:

50g sugar
100ml organic whole milk
284ml organic double cream
1 vanilla pod, split and seeds scraped; pod reserved
4 Stonegate Estate Organic egg yolks
4 heaped teaspoons caster sugar, for the topping

Pancake Day needn’t stop at lemon and sugar. If yo Pancake Day needn’t stop at lemon and sugar. If you feel like something savoury, @gill.meller’s ham, leek and blue cheese pancakes are certainly worth a try. Thin, tender pancakes folded around sweet leeks, salty ham and pockets of blue cheese that melt gently as they sit. Rich and comforting in the way good savoury dishes often are.

You can leave out the ham if you like, or replace it with fried chestnut mushrooms, their earthy depth sitting beautifully complimenting the cheese and leeks.

There’s still time to gather what you need for tomorrow, and give Pancake Day a more indulgent, flavour-led turn:

For the pancakes

100g organic plain flour
A pinch of salt
2 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs
300ml organic whole milk
A knob of butter

For the white sauce

1 litre whole milk
4 bay leaves
The green tops from rinsed leeks, roughly chopped
1 celery stick, sliced
A few black peppercorns
70g unsalted butter
70g organic plain flour
50g your favourite blue cheese
100g mature cheddar cheese, grated

For the filling

200g cooked ham, smoked or unsmoked, torn into chunks and shards
2 leeks trimmed, rinsed, and cut into 1cm rounds
A small handful of parsley leaves, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

@gill.meller’s chocolate and coffee fondant rarely @gill.meller’s chocolate and coffee fondant rarely disappoints. Warm from the oven, rich but unfussy, it’s hard to beat if you’re searching for a stunning but simple Valentine’s pudding. Made with good dark chocolate and a hint of coffee, it’s surprisingly straightforward to bring together. Serve it with a candlelit table, a splash of cream, and make something delicious for the one you love.

Save this recipe for Valentine’s Day, to make this pudding you will need:

A double shot of espresso coffee
150g dark chocolate, fair-trade
150g unsalted butter, diced, plus extra for greasing
2 large Stonegate Estate eggs
75g caster sugar
50g plain flour
A little cocoa for dusting
‌
Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / gas 6 and put a baking tray in the oven.

Use a little soft butter to grease 6 dariole moulds. Coat each with a generous dusting of cocoa powder.

Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a medium sized mixing bowl with the butter. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and melt the chocolate and butter together. Leave to cool a little.

Beat the eggs and sugar together for a few minutes until the mixture is thick and light and holds a trail. Fold the melted chocolate and the cool espresso lightly into the egg mousse. Sift over the flour and fold it in carefully.

Divide the mixture evenly between the dariole moulds. Place the dariole moulds on the hot baking tray in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Turn out immediately and serve, with cold double cream.
There is, quite simply, nothing more romantic than There is, quite simply, nothing more romantic than an intimate dinner for two.

For Valentine’s Day, @gill.meller’s take on a steak tartare feels like the ultimate beautiful gesture. Luxurious, intimate and ever so slightly thrilling. Just add a single candle to the table, pour a glass of something delicious and show the one you love how much you really care.

To share something unforgettable this Valentine’s Night, you’ll need:

200g organic beef fillet
4 small gherkins, finely chopped
1 tablespoon small capers in brine, chopped
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
A good shake of Tabasco sauce
A good shake or two of Worcestershire sauce
A small handful of tender parsley leaves, finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Slices of rye or sourdough bread
2 fresh Stonegate Estate Organic egg yolks
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Place the steak down on the board and trim away any outer sinew, fat, or aged membrane to reveal the clean marbled meat within. Cut the steak into thin slices, turn the slices, and cut across them, and then again. You want to end up with finely chopped steak about 2-3mm in size.

Place the steak into a clean mixing bowl. Add the chopped gherkins, capers, shallots, mustard, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce, parsley, a good pinch of sea salt and a generous twist of cracked black pepper.

Gently tumble the steak with the other ingredients. You don’t need to overmix it and you certainly don’t want to mush it up or squeeze it. A light touch is best here.

Toast the slices of bread, either in a ridged grill pan or in the toaster. Trickle over the of olive oil and sprinkle the surface of the toast with a pinch of flaky sea salt.

Divide the tartare between the two pieces of toast. Make a shallow hollow in the middle of each and gingerly set the egg yolk down in place. Season the top with a smidge more salt and a touch more pepper and finish with a trickle of your best olive oil. Serve at once.
