1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
16 sage leaves
25g butter
250ml vegetable stock or water
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Potatoes are in their prime, earthy and abundant. Potatoes are in their prime, earthy and abundant. This is the perfect moment to try @gill.meller’s Herby Potato Pancakes, his savoury and delicious take on a traditional pancake. Crisp at the edges, tender within, these come together in minutes and are as versatile as they are more-ish. Pile them high with smoked fish, crème fraîche and horseradish, or serve with slices of ham and a poached Stonegate Organic egg. For something simpler, let them meet their match in a little crumbly farmhouse cheddar.

For the base ingredients, you will need:

700g of large white potatoes
2 large Stonegate Estate eggs
4 spring thinly onions thinly sliced
1 tbls of dill
20g of organic butter, melted
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
‌
Method:

Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl. Rinse the grated potato in plenty of fresh cold water then drain. Pile the potatoes into a clean cotton tea towel, roll up and twist the ends to extract as much liquid from the grated potato as possible.

Tip the potato into a bowl and add the sliced spring onions, chopped dill, salt and pepper and most of the melted butter, saving a little to grease the pan.

Divide the eggs and add the yolks to the potato mixture. Whisk the whites in a clean bowl until they are light and fluffy then fold this carefully through the potato mixture.

Set your pan down over a medium heat. Add the remaining butter and when it’s hot spoon half the potato, mix into the pan and level it out. Cook for 5 – 6 minutes on the first side then flip the cake over and cook for a similar time on the second side, or until the pancakes are golden brown.
Serve at once.

A dish that carries the comfort of the season, and the quiet pleasure of making much from the simplest of ingredients.
Today we’re celebrating World Egg Day and what b Today we’re celebrating World Egg Day and what better way than by showcasing our Stonegate Organic eggs in their simplest, most stunning form?

Uncomplicated and elegant, whether for breakfast or a quick supper, @gill.meller’s Boiled Eggs with Smoked Trout Soldiers are a gentle twist on a classic. Crunchy soldiers, silky yolks and a whisper of smokiness; the delicate flavour of trout pairs beautifully with buttery-yolked boiled eggs. Fresh dill gives a Scandinavian lift, while chives make a lovely alternative if you prefer.

Join us in raising a toast (and an organic sourdough soldier) to World Egg Day! To make this satisfying supper for two, you will need:

INGREDIENTS

2 fresh Stonegate Estate eggs
2 slices of organic sourdough
25g of soft organic butter
100g sliced organic smoked trout
3 – 4 sprigs of dill finely chopped
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD

Bring a small pan of water to the boil for the eggs. When it is simmering away, carefully lower in the eggs one at a time. Cook them for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, drop the sliced bread in the toaster and pop it on.

Chop the smoked trout slices relatively finely and combine with the soft butter and chopped dill. Season with black pepper and a pinch of flaky salt if it needs it. When the toasts up spread it generously with the butter and cut into soldiers.
To eat, crack the egg and remove the top to reveal the runny yolk. Dip and dunk your soldiers and enjoy!
