TOM TAKES FIVE

As a chef, it’s my job to build layers of flavour in dishes, but it’s equally important to show restraint and let ingredients sing for themselves. Because these recipes are made with just five ingredients (plus salt, pepper and sunflower or vegetable oil), they really prove that. I’ve also included some extra ideas if you happen to have a few more ingredients to hand. You could also serve an easy side dish or accompaniment with these, but I’m really happy with them as they are. These recipes bring out the best of humble ingredients like carrots and apples, while not masking the quality of British smoked fish, duck and beef.

This recipe is a lesson in less is more. When I was developing this, I wanted to add extra ingredients, but when it was all done, everything I wanted was there and I couldn’t stop eating it.
