The beetroot crisps / chips are delicious on their own, or served as an accompaniment or as an attractive and tasty garnish. They are quick and easy to make and cost a fraction of store bought crisps. Beetroot crisps will also be an interesting conversation piece at your next party, as almost no-one will have had them before!!!
Ingredients
  • Fresh beetroot (as many as you need for your requirements)
  • Oil for deep-frying
  • Coarse salt and fresh rosemary to garnish
Instructions
  1. Wash and dry the beetroot thoroughly, then top and tail them.
  2. Using a very sharp knife or a mandolin, cut the beetroot into thin slices of 1 to 2 mm in thickness.
  3. Fill a large pan with oil to a depth of 25mm or 1 inch and heat this to 170c or 325f.
  4. Carefully drop the slices one by one into the oil until the surface of the pan is covered in a single layer of frying beet.
  5. Fry the chips for 8 to 10 minutes until the surface of the crisps is bubbled. The slices will not crisp entirely until they cool, so at this stage, remove them from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
  6. Repeat this until all of your chips are cooked.
  7. As a serving suggestion, transfer the crisps to platters, sprinkle with a little coarse salt and some roughly chopped fresh rosemary.

Deep-fried Jalapeño Chilli Poppers stuffed with cheese make a perfect cocktail snack, entre or accompaniment to a main meal. The chillies can be stuffed with anything from spiced pork to cream cheese. I have used processed cheese spread. You can use pickled jalapenos or fresh.
Ingredients
For the Batter (makes enough for 24 chilli poppers)
  • 150g All purpose flour
  • 75ml Tapioca flour
  • 7.5ml Baking powder
  • 235ml Water
  • 2.5ml Salt
  • 30ml Oil
Other
  • 24 Pickled or fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 240ml Processed cheese spread
Instructions
  1. Add the flour, tapioca flour and baking powder to a large mixing bowl. Add the water and whisk this until smooth. Put this aside for 30 minutes to rest.
  2. While the batter rests, slice one side of each chilli open along the length and scrape the seeds out.
  3. Measure out the filling, in this case processed cheese spread. If it is a bit stiff, warm it in your microwave to soften it.
  4. Load the filling into your piping bag, or icing gun and inject about 2 teaspoons of the cheese into each chilli. Use your finger to wipe away any excess.
  5. To finish off the batter, pour in the oil and salt and whisk these in thoroughly until well combined.
  6. Fill your wok or pan with oil to a depth of 1 inch or 25mm and heat this to 190c or 375f.
  7. Dip the cillis in the batter to coat, then carefully drop them into the oil in batches of 6. Fry these for 3 minutes per side then remove and drain on paper towel. Repeat until all of the chillis are fried.
  8. Transfer to platters and serve immediately.
