Michelin star chef Michael Caines has partnered with popular dating site www.uniformdating.com to create 15 recipes for their new recipe App; Uniform Foodies.
A national survey of uniformed professionals was undertaken to identify what food they love. It found the No.1 dish for nurses was salad, for police officers and doctors it was fish and chips with the armed forces and fire fighters preference an Indian curry.
Michael Caines has created tailor-made recipes of the professions favourites, all of which are available on the Uniform Foodies App. You can download it from today for 69p.
To celebrate the launch of #uniformfoodies from Uniform Dating, we were asked to create our own meal for a uniformed professional using Michael’s recipes as inspiration. The Spicy Tornado is an affordable, hearty and very tasty meal fit for RAF aircrew – an apt choice given my father-in-law was a Wing Commander.
Spicy Tornado (serves 2)
250g cubed beef steak A small onion A clove of garlic Half or one red chili (how hot do you like it!) Small jar of passata (350g) Small tin of red kidney beans A green pepper Sliced ciabatta bread Small tub of sour cream Salt & pepper
Method
Drizzle some olive oil into a pan and heat.
Add the cubed beef steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, remove from heat and place to one side – ideally in a bowl with a lid.
Dice one small onion, chop the garlic and red chilli.
Re-oil pan, add onions, garlic and chilli and cook for 2 minutes.
Put the beef back in and add the passata.
Add the small tin kidney beans.
Season and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
Roughly chop the green pepper, add more seasoning if required
Cook for a further 2-3 minutes making sure the pepper is still crunchy.
Tear the ciabatta into chunks. Add a generous dollop of sour cream to the dish once plated and serve.
