HOW TO BAKE STEAK RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7. Cut each pepper into four rings, removing the seeds, and place directly on the bars of the oven to soften for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley, stalks and all, putting the chopped leaves aside. Finely chop the chorizo and place in a 30cm non-stick ovenproof pan on a medium-high heat with ½ a tablespoon of olive oil. Stir for 1 minute, until crisp, then peel and finely grate in the garlic, add the chopped parsley stalks, stir for another minute, then remove to a bowl, leaving the pan on the heat. Stir in 1 mug of rice and 2 mugs of boiling kettle water (600ml), season with sea salt and black pepper, nestle in the softened pepper rings, cover, and put into the oven for 15 minutes. Add the prawns to the chorizo mixture, finely grate in all the lemon zest, squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon, then mix together. When the time’s up on the rice, remove the pan, uncover, and sprinkle over the chorizo mixture, gently poking the prawns into the rice. Return to the oven for a final 5 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through. Drizzle over 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle over the reserved chopped parsley leaves. Serve with the yoghurt and the remaining zested lemon cut into wedges, for squeezing over.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7.
  2. Halve the aubergine lengthways and thickly slice.
  3. Drizzle some olive oil into a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the aubergine in batches for 5 to 7 minutes, or until softened and golden, adding a little more oil, if needed. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl.
  4. Peel and thinly slice the onion, and peel and slice the garlic. Add the onion and garlic to the empty pan, with a little more oil if necessary, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to the bowl with the aubergine.
  5. Chop the potatoes into 1cm cubes, thinly slice the medium tomatoes and slice the courgettes.
  6. Add the potato, all the tomatoes, the courgette, passata and 200ml water to the bowl. Sprinkle with the oregano, then pick, finely chop and add the parsley. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  7. Combine well with your hands and transfer to a large ovenproof dish. Drizzle with any remaining oil.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, then turn the oven down to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the top has browned and vegetables are tender. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
