I’ve slow cooked the shanks specially for the broth but as this recipe works well with any leftover cooked lamb, it’s a good one for using up any uneaten roast leg from your Easter festivities. If you are not a fan of miso, you can use anchovy paste or good old Lea and Perrins to boost the broth’s flavour. 

Grown up and sexy. Serve with a good whiskey and skip dessert

This is the best little cheat’s trick to have up your sleeve. It’s great for impromptu drinks and a good addition to the kids’ weekday supper – especially if you have not-so-fresh bread which you need to use up. The dipping can also be done with oatcakes, raw celery, cauliflower and tomatoes.

The dense fruity tartness of Jeffares blackcurrants are simply perfect with the sweet crunch of pavlova and the cooling smoothness of fresh cream. The way their juice pops from the fruit as you bite in is divine and I think they have now dethroned mango and passionfruit as my favourite pav fruit. I’ve added blackberries here to keep the colours simple and vary the texture even more, but you can of course mix in other tart fruits and berries.
