JAMES & DIANA DONOGHUE have recently purchased a 1 acre plot of glebe land located opposite the Pheasant with the help of the Retail Enterprise Fund from Essex County Council.
The plan is to plant and sow a small market garden that will provide fruit, vegetables and salads, and also produce honey from 10 hives for the pub/restaurant.
The Pheasant is currently looking to recruit an Apprentice Gardener to be involved in the setting
up of a market garden, to serve the kitchens at the Pheasant. You will be working closely with James the owner, former lecturer at Writtle College, and Chelsea Garden Designer.
Once the garden is up and running, the Pheasant will be providing day courses for Bee Keeping (James will be running this as a registered bee-keeper), Willow Weaving and how to set up a productive Vegetable Allotment/Garden with Conservation in mind.
If you are already a keen gardener but would like to learn more and enjoy working outside in all weather, please contact James or Diana on 01787 465010 email [email protected] www.thepheasant.net
CHESTNUT & PEAR FLANThis recipe is an alternative use for chestnuts, rather than roasting on an open fire (you can use tinned or dried chestnuts, if using dried, use 100g and soak overnight.
For the wholemeal pastry50g (2oz) wholemeal flour 25g (1oz) cold unsalted butter 5ml (1tsp) ground roasted almonds (optional) 5-10ml (1-2tsp) icing sugar 30ml (2 tbsp) ice-cold water
For the filling150g (6oz) chestnuts 3-4 large dessert pears 450ml (3/4 pint dry perry 1 small piece vanilla pod 45 ml (3 tbsp) honey
To glazeReducurrant or medlar jelly
1 Make the pastry in a food processor. Sift the flour into the bowl and chop up the butter, which must be used straight from the refrigerator. Mix at slow speed until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the nuts, if using, and sugar. Turn the speed up a notch and add the iced water. Watch until the pastry gathers itself up in a ball. Then turn the motor off immediately. Allow the pastry to rest for at least 20 minutes.
2 Roll it out as thinly as possible on a cold floured surface and use to line a tart tin. Line the pastry with greaseproof paper and weight it down with dried beans. Make sure the beans go right into the corners. Bake in the oven at 200c (400f) mark 6 for 10 minutes.
3 Remove the beans and paper, prick the base of the pastry and bake for a further 5 minutes. Peel, halve and core the pears. Put them in a saucepan with the perry and poach for about 15 minutes until lightly cooked. (Timing will depend on the ripeness of the pears). When they are done, lift them out and allow to cool.
4 Place the chestnuts in a saucepan and simmer in the pear poaching liquid with the piece of vanilla pod until tender. This could take up to 2 hours if the chestnuts are very hard. Top up with water if necessary. When the chestnuts are cooked, remove the vanilla pod and process the chestnuts with the honey and enough of the cooking liquid to produce a smooth puree.
5 Spread the chestnut puree over the pastry base and arrange the poached pears on top, cut-side down. Melt the red fruit jelly in a bowl over a pan of hot water and use to glaze the pears. Serve the flan with thick cream.
