Hot Tips
Goose fat and roast potatoes
Rough up the edges of parboiled potatoes by tossing them around the colander (like you would bounce a tennis ball on a racket) this helps create a crunchy exterior. Add them to the roasting dish with a couple of tablespoons of duck or goose fat, rolling in the fat and season generously.
Glossary
Black-Eyed Peas
A legume used frequently in African and South American cooking, small, pale and round with a black spot, hence the name.
