black olive and anchovy tapenade/sauce

250g pitted black olives

60g anchovy fillets, drained
3 tbsp capers, drained

150ml olive oil

2 tbsp brandy (optional)

fresh ground black pepper

Put everything but the oil into the jug. Fit the lid, remove the cap, and add about half 
the oil. Replace the cap and blend for a couple of seconds. Examine the result, then 
adjust the oil and blend till you achieve the consistency you need. For a tapenade, to 
spread on toast, you need a paste. For a sauce, to toss through warm pasta, it should 
be fairly runny.

horseradish and apple sauce

250ml double cream
2 sharp flavoured apple, peeled and grated

6 tbsp horseradish relish

2 tsp paprika

Put the cream into the jug and blend till soft peaks form, then spoon gently into a large 
bowl and gently fold in the rest of the ingredients (“gently” means don’t knock the air 
out of the cream or it’ll collapse). Season with fresh ground black pepper, and serve 
with beef or sausage.

leek & potato soup

 (serves 4)

150g leeks, trimmed
150g potatoes, peeled

2 vegetable or chicken stock cubes

800ml water
salt and pepper to taste

Blend the leeks and potatoes for a couple of seconds (lumpy, not mushy). Put the leek 
and potato mixture into a pan, then add the water and stock cubes. Bring to the boil, 
stirring, reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Let the mixture cool 
for about 30 minutes, then blend in two lots, at maximum speed, till it’s really smooth. 
Return the mixture to the pan and heat it through (don’t let it boil). Taste, adjust the 
seasoning, and serve with crusty bread.
