SAVOURY PICNIC MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a eight-hole muffin tin with muffin cases. Coarsely grate the courgette into a fine sieve and use clean hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible over the sink. Tip into a bowl with the spring onions, flour, roasted red pepper, most of the cheese and the rosemary, along with lots of black pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Crack the eggs into a jug, pour in the oil and top up with enough milk to make 300ml. Beat together, then pour into the courgette mixture and mix to a smooth batter. Divide between the cases, top with the remaining cheese and bake for 25-30 mins until risen, firm and golden brown on top. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container in the fridge.

CURRIED CHICKEN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 190 C (380F). Grease a 12 hole muffin tin with butter and oil.
• Make sure to grease the top of the tin well so any mix won't stick as they rise. Heat oil in a pan and cook the onion rings over a medium heat, stirring often.
• Cook but DON'T brown them, adding a splash of water helps (you want them to stay white looking for effect - so they say), takes 5-10 minutes.
• Put the onions aside. 3/4 will be used for presentation, chop the other 1/4.
• Heat the pan again and add a little bit of oil and the chicken.
• Stir until it begins to turn white and then add the curry paste. Cook slightly, adding a splash of water to speed up the process.
• Cook for a further minute then remove from the heat and stir in the yoghurt. Let it cool slightly.
• Sift flour into a large bowl from a good height to aerate it well.
• Add the chopped onions, lemon juice, eggs, vegetable oil, cooled curried chicken and chopped coriander and mix well.
• Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tin and push the onion rigs on top by gently pressing in.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden.
• Allow to cool completely.
• Good picnic food.
• Enjoy!
