Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil a full kettle

Add your pigs in blankets to a baking paper-lined baking tray and put in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden brown and cooked through (no pink meat!)

Add your macaroni to a pot of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat, then cook the macaroni for 7-9 min or until cooked with a bite then once done, drain and set aside until later, reserving 150ml [200ml] [250ml] starchy pasta water

Step 1
2.

Peel and finely chop your brown onion[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a knob of butter over a medium-high heat

Once melted, add the chopped onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 6-7 min or until softened and lightly golden

Tip: Add a splash of cold water if is starts to burn!

Step 2
3.

Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Grate your cheddar cheese

Once the onion has softened, add 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] flour with half your ground paprika and half the chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!)

Stir with a wooden spoon for 1-2 min or until the onion is completely coated

Step 3
4.

Gradually whisk 100ml [150ml] [175ml] milk, the reserved starchy pasta water and your chicken stock mix into the cooked onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 min or until thickened

Combine your panko breadcrumbs, remaining chopped garlic and remaining ground paprika in a large bowl with a drizzle of olive oil – these are your breadcrumbs

Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the grated cheddar and season with a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper – this is your cheese sauce

Step 4
5.

Once cooked, reserve one pig in blanket per person and finely chop the rest

Add the chopped pigs in blankets and cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix it all together, then transfer to an oven-proof dish (or two!), top with the breadcrumbs (reserve the bowl) and remaining whole pig in blanket

Put the dish[es] in the oven for 10-12 min or until golden and bubbling – this is your pigs in blankets mac 'n' cheese

Step 5
6.

Add a large piece of baking paper to a small oven-proof dish

Unwrap your camembert[s] and score a criss-cross pattern in the top using a sharp knife

Add the scored camembert[s] to the dish and top with your roasted garlic paste, honey and a pinch of salt and pepper, then put the dish in the oven for 12-15 min or until melted in the middle

Step 6
7.

Meanwhile, wash your salad and pat dry with kitchen paper

Wipe out the reserved large bowl and add a drizzle of olive oil with your cider vinegar and a pinch of salt, pepper and sugar and whisk together

Add the salad and toss

Slice your ciabatta[s] in half and place in the toaster for 1-2 min or until warmed through

Step 7
8.

Serve the pigs in blankets mac 'n' cheese with the dressed salad to the side

Serve the baked honey & garlic camembert with the ciabatta toast to the side for dunking

Enjoy!
