Tom Kerridge’s ultimate menu

First course

“I always go for something fried, crispy or crunchy to start.”

Battered Amritsari fish

Try making…

Battered Amritsari fish
Squid pakoras with coconut yogurt dip
Pea, feta & quinoa spring rolls with roast tomato nam prik
Crispy squid with capers
Cauliflower tempura

Main course

“Go for something slow cooked – preferably something that takes over a day to prepare and cook.”

Butter-basted pork loin with stuffing crust & cheesy polenta

Try making…

Tom’s fish stew with roast garlic & saffron
Twice cooked pork belly with onion & apple veloute

Try making…

White chocolate & cardamom tart with raspberry dust
