Tender lamb shoulder

Tender lamb shoulder[/caption]Method:
Pour the dried chickpeas into a 30cm x 40cm roasting tray. Quarter the preserved lemons and trim away the seedy core, then finely chop the rind and add to the tray with a good splash of liquor from their jar. Roughly chop the tomatoes, adding them to the tray as you go.
Drizzle the lamb with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then rub all over with the ras el hanout and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Sit the lamb in the tray, pour in 1 litre of water, cover tightly with tin foil and place in a cold oven. Turn the temperature to 170ºC/325ºF/gas 3 and leave the lamb in there for 6 hours, or until the chickpeas are cooked through and the lamb is pullable – after 3 hours, stir a splash of water into the chickpeas, covering tightly again with foil.
To serve, taste the chickpeas, season to perfection, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, then pull the lamb apart with two forks.
One-pan fabulous fish

One-pan fabulous fish[/caption]Method:
In a large shallow casserole pan on a high heat, mix the rice with 2 heaped teaspoons of tapenade, then pour over 600ml of water. Put the lid on and let it come to the boil while you halve the tomatoes and, in a bowl, mix them with 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and red wine vinegar. Taste, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, and tear in most of the basil leaves.
Cut the fish into four equal-sized pieces and place in the pan, pushing them into the rice. Scatter over the dressed tomatoes. Put the lid back on and boil for 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through, then remove the lid and cook for a further 2 minutes until all the liquid has evaporated. Spoon the remaining tapenade over the fish, pick over the remaining basil leaves, drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil, and dish up.

Apple crumble cookies[/caption]Method:
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Line two trays with greaseproof paper and rub with olive oil. Whiz the apple in a food processor until finely chopped, then add the flour, cubed butter, sugar and a pinch of sea salt. Blitz to fine crumbs for 1 minute, then remove 3 tablespoons of the mix and set aside. Pulse in the egg until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides, if needed.
Divide into 24 pieces, roll into balls, then press down lightly into 4cm rounds, lining them up on the trays as you go. Sprinkle over the reserved mix, lightly pressing it into the cookies. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Leave to cool slightly, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Yum!
