Potstickers With Spicy Dipping Sauce
Potstickers are a type of dumpling that is fried, boiled and steamed almost at the same time. By searing one side of these dumplings in a skillet with oil and then pouring in water to let them boil and steam, you end up with dumplings that are chewy on one side and crispy golden-brown on the other. You can make these well in advance and even freeze them before cooking.

Sausage And Mushroom Frittata
A frittata is an Italian egg dish that might be described as a quiche crossed with an omelet. But unlike a quiche, it requires no crust. And unlike an omelet, when you make one, you can serve the entire family. And if you drizzle a bit of marinara on this one, you can almost imagine you’re eating pizza.

But this version of the oven-fried chicken recipe defies all expectations. The result? The juiciest, crispiest oven-fried chicken ever.

Chicken And Mushroom Pie
Try our classic chicken and mushroom pie recipe
Skill level: Medium
Pies are much easier to make than you may think especially if you cheat and use ready-made pastry. Making the filling from scratch is the most important part of the pie – you can control what goes in, be it fresh veggies or a homemade sauce. Knowing what goes into your pie and opting for homemade instead of shop-bought is definitely the healthier option.
Once you’ve mastered this classic chicken and mushroom pie it’s time to expand and make other pies like our cheese pie , the Hairy Bikers’ favourite steak and ale pie or even teach yourself how to make the pastry from scratch using our simple puff pastry recipe.
