‘Blazing Saddles’
PORK TENDERLOIN, ORANGE, RED PEPPERS, SPINACH, BUTTER BEAN, HARICOT BEAN STEW.
I made up this recipe for James von Etzdorf’s 60th birthday, exactly 10 years ago today. It was an American campfire theme and I just thought ‘Blazing Saddles’. I’m not quite sure how cowboys were thought relevant as he’s an international Euro/dollar dealer based in Manhattan, but it went down well and has been a crowd pleaser ever since. It’s a one pot dish.
Ingredients – Pork, Chorizo, Bacon, Onion, Peppers, Orange, Garlic, Chilli, Paprika, Chicken stock (celery, )Haricot beans, Butter beans, Carrots, Spring greens, Salt, Pepper

SALMON COULIBIAC
Another great, historic dish, dreamed up for ‘The January Uprising of the Tidpit Cossacks’, somewhere around 1986. More poached than dreamed up, I think it’s a traditional Russian dish, a salmon en croute or salmon wellington effectively, perfect with simple boiled new potatoes, butter and lovage and a lovely home-made mayonnaise. It eats well at room temperature.
