Tinned sardines are one of the simplest, most sati Tinned sardines are one of the simplest, most satisfying things to eat, and are very good for you. I love them piled onto hot, well buttered toast. 

I’ve taken a little inspiration from the classic Bloody Mary here, bringing in tomato, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, celery salt and lemon and, if you like, a spritz of vodka.

The flavours are incredible. Finished with a fried Stonegate Estate egg cooked in olive oil, butter and rosemary, it makes for a wonderful breakfast or brunch dish.

You’ll need:
1 tin of sardines
2 slices of good country bread or sourdough
2 tsp tomato ketchup
2 to 3 shakes Tabasco
2 to 3 shakes Worcestershire sauce
1 good pinch of celery salt
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
A spritz of vodka, optional but good
Juice of half a lemon
2 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
A small knob of butter
1 small sprig of rosemary

Toast the bread until nice and crunchy, then butter generously.
Open the sardines and tip them into a bowl. Add the ketchup, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, vodka if using, a little salt and pepper and the lemon juice. Mix gently so you keep some texture.

Pile the sardines onto the toast.
Set a frying pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. When the butter is bubbling, add the rosemary. 

Crack in the Stonegate Estate eggs and fry, basting them with the hot butter until the whites are set and the edges are crisp, but the yolks are still a little soft.

Lift the Stonegate Estate eggs onto each slice of sardine topped toast and spoon over a little of the rosemary butter from the pan. Serve straight away.
Perfect for the weekend, this is a softer, greener Perfect for the weekend, this is a softer, greener take on a classic pot roast, something lighter and more in tune with the season. The chicken is gently poached, the broth is used to cook the vegetables in stages, and everything is brought together in a bowl with a spoonful of rich, herby mayonnaise.

You’ll need:
1 fresh organic or free-range whole chicken, about 1 to 1.2kg
2 leeks, trimmed, washed and cut into 3 to 4cm pieces
2 garlic cloves, bashed
500g new potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite sized pieces
6 to 8 new season carrots, scrubbed or peeled and halved from top to bottom
8 to 12 spears of asparagus, cut into 2 to 3cm pieces
2 little gem lettuces
A few handfuls of broad beans or peas, podded
1 small bunch of parsley, leaves picked and chopped, stems reserved
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the mayonnaise:
2 Stonegate Estate Organic egg yolks
1 very small clove of garlic
1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 dessertspoon cider vinegar
150ml sunflower oil
100ml extra virgin olive oil
A small bunch of tarragon, leaves stripped and chopped, stems reserved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Our organic eggs are the perfect base for nutty Parmesan and salty Guanciale in this rich sauce, combining the best of Great British and Italian produce.

Prep time 5 minutes | Cook time 15 minutes | Serves 2-3

INGREDIENTS:

200g spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
200g Guanciale or thick-cut bacon, diced
3 Stonegate Estate organic eggs
125g hard sheep’s cheese, such as pecorino, Parmesan or finely grated mature cheddar
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

METHOD:

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the spaghetti, stirring once or twice, so it doesn’t begin to stick. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until done to your liking.

Meanwhile place a large, heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil, followed by the Guanciale or bacon. Sizzle for 4-5 minutes or until all the little bits are beginning to crisp around the edges. Remove the pan from the heat.

Into a bowl, crack one of the eggs, followed by 2 egg yolks and save the whites for something else, such as our Pavlova recipe. Add the grated cheese and a ladle of pasta water, season with a little salt and pepper and stir together.

Drain the pasta, saving at least a cup of the pasta water. Set the frying pan back on the heat and toss in the cooked spaghetti, the egg and cheese mixture and enough pasta water to give you a rich, saucy consistency. 

Switch off the heat, season and toss everything together, adding more pasta water if you need too. Serve immediately onto warm plates.
