First from this box I cooked the Mexican Chicken Tinga Tacos. In this kit you get Chipotle Mix, Smoky Paprika Paste and Salsa Paste.

This dish is delicious. I always love this dish it's full of flavour and is really easy to cook. It's a very moreish dish and we enjoy it every time we have it.

Next from this box I cooked the Chipotle Grilled Steak Salad. In this kit you get Lemon & Herb Blend, Ancho Steak Rub and Chipotle Paste.

I absolutely love this dish, it's definitely a favourite. I love all the flavours, they work perfectly well together. Skye doesn't have all the trimmings, so I definitely think she misses our on all the flavours and textures.

Next from this box I cooked the Sticky Korean Chicken Drumsticks. In this kit you get Korean Style Rub, Gochujang Glaze and Quick Chilli Pickle.

This is a favourite for us. I've started adding more and more of the gochujang paste to add a little more kick. The chicken is always juicy and cooked perfectly. I always mix the extra dressing with my rice and it tastes perfect together.

Last from this box I cooked the Korean Beef Bulgogi Stir-Fry. In this kit you get Bulgogi Marinade, Honey Ginger Sauce and Gochujang.

This is another dish that we love having. The flavours are always amazing and I love the different textures. The beef always cooks perfectly and full of flavour.

Sam's Coney Stew

I'm back with another recipe from the world of Tolkien, this time it's Sam's infamous Coney stew, from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and the only side dish required of course was taters.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp ground allspice

2 tsp thyme

3 tbsp olive oil

750g rabbit pieces or skinless chicken thighs

3 large onions, sliced

2 tsp caster sugar

3 garlic cloves, crushed

75ml red wine vinegar

300ml red wine

50g tomato puree

Salt

2 bay leaves

Flat-leaf parsley to garnish.

Mix together the pepper, allspice and thyme and rub over the rabbit or chicken pieces.

Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the meat in batches on all sides until thoroughly browned. Transfer each batch to a plate.

Add the onions to the pan with the sugar and fry, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes until caramelised.

Stir in the garlic and cook for a further minute.

Add the vinegar and wine to the pan. Bring to the boil and continue to boil until the mixture has reduced by about a third.

Stir in the tomato puree and a little salt, return the meat to the pan and add the bay leaves.

Pre-heat your oven to 150C/Gas Mark 2.

Transfer from the pan to an oven proof dish and cover with a lid or tinfoil. Place in the preheated oven, for about 2 hours for the rabbit and 1 1/2 hours for the chicken thighs, until the meat is tender and the juices thick and glossy.

Check the seasoning and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with anything you like. I served ours with mash potatoes.

The recipe calls for the use of a flameproof casserole dish, but I don't have one so cooked it all in a pan and then transferred to an ovenproof dish. I also couldn't find any rabbit locally to me so had to go with chicken thighs. I would love to be able to make it more authentic and make it with rabbit eventually. Overall this dish is delicious, we've had it a few times and each time it's cooked perfectly. It works perfectly with mash taters and is full of flavour. I feel this dish is perfect all year round but it's definitely the perfect winter warmer.

If you would like to make any of the recipes from the Recipes From The World of Tolkien book, you can find it available to order on Amazon and Waterstones.

See you soon!

Following the recipes, you combine the kits with 4-6 items from your fridge or cupboard.

Then in just 20 minutes  you'll be enjoying a delicious meal for 2-4 people.

First from this box I cooked the Bibimbap. In this kit you get Gochujang Paste, Miso Stock and Soy & Red Miso Sauce.

We always love this dish, it's always full of flavour and cooks perfectly. This is one of the recipes we love to pick to have in our box, as well as one of the reasons I started getting us these boxes.

Next from this box I cooked the Penne Alla Rustica. In this kit you get Garlic & Rosemary Mix, Rustica Paste and Red Pepper Sprinkle

This is another favourite of ours. I love all the flavours, as well as all the different textures with the pasta, chorizo and tomatoes.

Next from this box I cooked the Scandi Style Salmon. In this kit you get Hasselback Potato Seasoning, Dill Pickle Mix and Scandi Salmon Rub.

Skye still hasn't gotten a taste for salmon, so I always cook a chicken breast for her when I cook this dish. She's never left it so the flavours must really work with chicken too. I love this dish, it's full of flavour and the salmon cooks perfectly, it just flakes apart. I really love all the flavours, it all works together perfectly.

Last from this box I cooked the Pad Thai. In this kit you get Pad Thai Paste, Tamarind and Thai Tomato Paste.

Prawns go down a treat in this house with Skye. She's also a big fan of this dish and so am I. It's full of flavour and always cooks perfectly.

Each box is £11.78 or £9.99 if you click ship now, with your first box being a trial price of £3.
