Ingredient: onion Recipes
Corned Beef (Silverside)
Tender corned silverside simmered with malt vinegar and brown sugar, with the mustard sauce. Serves 6 in about 3 hours, or all day in the slow cooker.
Chicken Soup
Real chicken soup built on a broth from a whole chicken, clear and full flavoured. Serves 6 in about 2 hours, and why you must not let it boil hard.
Braised Beef Cheeks
Beef cheeks braised for three hours until they collapse under a fork, in a red wine sauce. Serves 4, and the trimming step that most recipes leave out.
Beef Stroganoff
Beef stroganoff in 30 minutes with tender steak and a sour cream sauce that does not split. Serves 4, and the cut of beef that makes the difference.
Slow Cooker Lamb Shanks
Lamb shanks slow cooked in red wine and rosemary until the meat falls off the bone, with a sauce reduced properly. Serves 4, 8 hours in the cooker.
Creamed Paua

Fried Rice
Fried rice is a fifteen-minute dish that exists to use up leftovers, and there is exactly one non-negotiable rule. Get it right and you have separate, slightly chewy, well-coated grains.
Nachos
Nachos fail in a very specific way: the top layer is perfect, the bottom is a pale soggy raft of chips with nothing on them, and the middle is somewhere between. That’s a construction problem, not a recipe problem. Serves 4 as a main, 6 as a shared plate. Thirty minutes.
