MarmaNaga Baked Chicken Posted on 10 Nov 13:52 , 0 comments

This is a warming and tasty recipe for Autumn andwinter.

MarmaNaga baked Chicken:

Ingredients:
2 tbsp marmalade (preferably clementine marmalade)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 level tbsp freshly grated ginger
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4-6 chicken thighs and/or drumsticks
2-4 clementines, or tangerines
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (if available)

Method:
To make this fab MarmaNaga Chicken recipe, preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
In a large bowl, mix together the MarmaNaga, olive oil, mustard, garlic, ginger and seasoning. Slash the chicken skin diagonally 3 times in each thigh/drumstick. Add the chicken to the bowl and coat it in the marmalade mixture.
Spread the chicken pieces out in a large roasting tin and pour over any of the marmalade juices in the bowl.
Thinly slice the clementines, or tangerines, and place over the chicken pieces, pressing some in between the pieces.
Cover roasting tin with foil and place in the centre of the oven. Bake for 20 mins, then remove foil and bake for a further 30-40 mins, basting occasionally, until chicken is starting to turn golden and the juices run clear when flesh is pierced. Remove from the oven and sprinkle parsley over before serving.
Enjoy!


4 flavours available at Pensford Post Office Posted on 20 Oct 14:06 , 0 comments

If you are driving between Wells an Bristol you will more than likely pass through Pensford. Take a few minutes to stop in at the Pensford Post Office where they are stocking 4 of our most popular flavours.

The post office is very well and safely run. Friendly owners and staff. Find our jars near the 'spice' section, or ask a member of staff.

 

 


StrawBonnet back in stock 🍓🌶️👍 Posted on 19 Sep 13:25 , 0 comments

You asked for it. We made it. Over 12kgs of fresh Cheddar Strawberries in a hundred jar small batch. The huge amount of fruit has created a smooth, saucy, incredibly fruity product with a scotch bonnet finish. Not wildly hot, but wildly flavoursome. Enjoy! 🌶️🍓🌶️🍓🌶️🍓👍😀


MangoNero Baked Cheese Posted on 26 Aug 17:42 , 0 comments

Here's another fab idea for using MangoNero:

MangoNero baked Cheese:

The contrast between the creamy cheese and the fruity bite of MangoNero makes for a yummy food pairing.

Using your favourite bakeable cheese:

Score the cheese well (go beneath the rind, but not too far) with a cross. Place in a suitably sized ramekin or dish. Cook at 180c for 10 minutes (until the top layers begin to bubble a bit). Remove from the oven. Fold back the flaps created from scoring and create a well in the centre with a spoon. Spoon in Timmy's Chillies MangoNero (2 teaspoons approx dependent on size of cheese). Cook for another 10 minutes (until cooked throughout).

We used Foccacia bread to dip in (sliced into manageable bite sized pieces) that we warmed in the same oven for about 6 minutes.

Dip away and enjoy!


BlimeyLimey Mojito - a great end to the summer! Posted on 26 Aug 17:08 , 0 comments

BlimeyLimey Mojito:

Here's a refreshing twist on a Mojito for the end of the summer ( or whenever you fancy one).

Use:

White rum (2 fingers for a strong one). Ice (crushed if possible). Fresh mint leaves (a small handfull - wash and 'clap' them in your hands before putting in the glass). Lime Juice (fresh is best but bottled pure juice will do). A heaped teaspoon of Timmy's Chillies BlimeyLimey. Stir. Add soda water as required. Enjoy!

 

P.S. We have this on our "Recipe" page also. The pics are not as good if you are watching on a Desktop, laptop, or tablet - better on mobile (where 56% of our sales come from), apologies folks. It's a 'platform' issue!


Markets update Posted on 26 Aug 12:11 , 0 comments

Hi Folks,

We are now starting to trade at Markets again, along with our online store.

Find us at Frome Cheese and Grain on the 2nd Saturday of every month. Currently the market is being held on the patio outside the venue, but we hope to return inside the building when allowed. It is well run and there is a one way system. Hand gel is provided at the entrance. Entrance as ever, is free.

Also hoping to trade at 'Eat Festival' Burnham on Sea on October 24th in the Methodist Chapel, yet this will be dependent on the venue being allowed to host us.

Although we were regular traders at Wells (prior to lockdown), and have had our pitch held for us; we are having to wait until there is a space. Due to social distancing there is currently not enough room for us.

We are looking into other outdoor venues and will update this page with details.

Hope to see you soon.
