WATER CINNAMON AND HONEY WEIGHT LOSS REVIEWS RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the soy, honey, 1 tbsp of the oil and ½ tbsp garlic & ginger paste in a bowl. Pour over the chicken thighs and leave to marinate if you have time, but don’t worry if not – they will be delicious either way. Tip the chicken with all the marinade into a roasting tin, skin-side up. Cook for 45 mins until sticky and the skin is crispy.
• When the chicken has 15 mins left, start cooking the rice following pack instructions, if using, and heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Add the remaining garlic & ginger paste, sizzle for 1 min, then tip in the broccoli along with a splash of water. Cover and cook for 10 mins until tender, then take the lid off, tip the sesame seeds into the pan and give everything a good toss around. Season. Serve with the chicken, and all the caramelised bits from the bottom of the tin.

Steps:

• Lightly crush the fennel, garlic and the leaves of 3 thyme sprigs together in a pestle and mortar. Add 1 tbsp oil and season well, then bash to a rough paste. Rub the mixture all over the pork, then cover and chill for at least 2 hrs or up to 24 hrs.
• Set the slow cooker to low. Tip the shallots into a heatproof bowl and pour a kettleful of boiling water. Leave to soak for 2 mins, then drain and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle (this will make them easier to peel). Cut off the roots and remove the papery skins.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan or flameproof casserole that's large enough to fit the pork joint. Brown the shallots for a few minutes over a medium heat, then tip into the slow cooker. Add the celeriac and apples, then season well and mix.
• Put the pork in the pan and brown really well on all sides, then transfer to the slow cooker fat-side up on top of the vegetable mixture. Pour the wine into the pan and bubble for 1 min. Add the stock, honey and mustard and bubble for 1 min more, then pour the mixture over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hrs, turning the meat and stirring the veg halfway through cooking, if you can.
• Lift the pork out of the slow cooker, wrap and leave to rest for 10 mins before carving. Serve with the cooked vegetables and some greens, if you like.
