Ultimate Snacking

 

Snacking just got a whole lot better.

Let’s begin with this, the ultimate Habanero Loaded Nacho Sharer with a wonderful Beef Brisket Chilli.

It’s juicy, it’s hot, it’s crunchy, it’s amazing … and you’ll find the recipe HERE.Simple Nachos

For a simpler Nacho Sharer, all you need is the nachos, sliced red onion, sour cream, melted cheese and coriander garnish – oh yes … Stokes Burger Relish. It’s a rich, slightly sweet tasting red pepper, tomato and onion salsa with a subtle note of chilli.

Shake it, pour it, love it.Korean BBQ Wings

[A quick look through our recipe pages – HERE – will soon reveal lots and lots of super-snacking ideas, including 1001 Wings (practically).]

With 15 minutes, an Air Fryer, wings, sauce, ginger and onions, these KBBQ Wings will be ready for kick off.

Get the recipe HERE, and your Korean BBQ Sauce HERE. It’s a really special sweet and fruity barbecue sauce with rich dark brown sugar, soya sauce, and sweet Mirin wine.Mini Welsh Rarebits

These golden florets of crispy cauliflower make a delicious starter with a salad garnish or hand them round when friends visit. Serve with our Habanero Chilli Mayonnaise – hot and spicy mayonnaise with fermented red habanero chilli and fragrant coriander for a real depth of flavour, all wrapped in velvet smooth mayonnaise.

Enjoy the recipe HERE.‘Posh’ Fishfinger Sandwiches

Cook the fingers (or fish goujons) to a crispy crust around a juicy fishy centre. On buttered white bread, spread a layer of Stokes Tartare Sauce (smooth, creamy sauce, jam-packed with coarsely-chopped gherkins and capers – tartare without the ‘tart’).

Fingers on the tartare and a good layer of minted, crushed peas on top. Gently cook frozen petits pois in butter. Drain, crush and stir in a little sweet garden Mint Sauce, and season to taste.

You won’t believe how good this is until you try it.Finally – Posh Baked Beans

Fun in a Bun

 

Grill it, stack it, squeeze it, dress it, and put it in a bun.

“Burgers are a blank canvas for endless flavour possibilities”
Jamie Oliver.

Jamie really sums the burger up so well. It can be anything, any combinations that play an intriguing dance across your taste buds.

so much more than a burger; more energetic than ‘fast food’; no lukewarm cycle-boxed deliveree here – just the utter joy of something tasty, juicy, fun.The Basics

Stokes Tommy K – Real Tomato Ketchup. It took so long to take this shot, waiting for the thick, juicy Tommy K to ooze down the side of the burger, we had time to read the ingredients on the bottle. Take a look, 200g of juicy Mediterranean Tomatoes reduced into every 100g of this remarkable ketchup.Nduja Beef Burger:

The image shows slow-cooked beef spiced with nduja paste, torn and served with red slaw, fried pickles, and Stokes Burger Relish, a salsa-style relish of tomatoes, onion, peppers and chilli.Beef with Smoky Crunch

The key to this new burger creation from Andy … is the crunch – texture. The ground beef patty smothered in our rich Red Onion Marmalade, topped with bacon and crispy nachos, with melted smoked cheese poured over them – wow. Nice one Andy!Fishy Burger

And it doesn’t have to be a meat-based burger. Here, crispy air-fried goujons of cod sit on our Tartare Sauce and a vibrant bed of lettuce. The ciabatta makes a crusty change to burger or brioche buns. Portobello Mushroom Burger:

Finally, of course, it can be a vegetarian burger. Here, the ‘meaty’ Portobello mushroom is the star.

There’s so much you can do with it, such as scoop out some of the stem, fill the gap with vegetarian cheese, bake it then stack it. Stokes Chilli Jam adds a sticky relish oozing with flavour from the sweet chilli peppers and red peppers.

The pun in the bun
