Quality herbs
The great thing about potted herbs is their longevity. If you look after them, they can last three to ve weeks water them little and often and always from the base. Rob Grundy

Fresh herbs liven up your cooking and look beautiful in your kitchen. Youll nd a range of fresh potted herbs in store ready to take home and enjoy, including chives, coriander, mint, thyme, basil and parsley. Theyre grown by Lincolnshire Herbs and we were their rst customer back in 1998. Fast-forward 15 years and we now have eight acres of stateof-the-art facilities and grow 13 million herbs each year, says Site Manager Rob Grundy. And last year, we were named Edible and Salad Grower of the Year at the Grower of the Year Awards, which was a great achievement, he says. HERB PRODUCTION The crops are grown all year round in glasshouses, where the temperature and irrigation are computer-controlled. The process from sowing to harvest takes three to six weeks, says Rob. Once germinated, the herbs are placed in a gutter system and slowly moved automatically from one end of the glasshouse to the other. During this growing process, theyre tickled by mechanical rubber strips, which mimic the movement of wind to help stimulate growth and encourage strength. CARING FOR YOUR HERBS Looking after your herb at home is simple, says Rob. Remove the packaging and put it on a saucer on a windowsill. Water it little and often and always from the base. Only snip off what you need. Basil is my favourite, he adds. My wife makes a lovely tomato and mozzarella side salad with it. For more herb ideas, visit getcooking. ASDA.com and lincolnshire-herbs.co.uk. 1 The manual harvesting process in action 2 Basil (pictured here) is the companys bestselling herb, followed by coriander and curly parsley in that order 3 The herbs are distributed within 24 hours of harvest. Lincolnshire Herbs supplies our stores with 5.5 million pots each year 4 Chives growing in the glasshouse 5 The company employs 50 production team members to handle the process from start to nish

FIGS
Fresh gs are great served with cured meats such as Parma ham and salami or for a dessert, try them baked (see below). They can be stored in the fridge for up to three days wrapped in kitchen paper.
Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C Fan/Gas 6. Halve a few gs and place in a roasting tin cut side up. Top the gs with some whole or chopped walnuts. Drizzle over a little runny honey, then bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

Cauliower fritters V
Break 700g cauliower orets into small pieces. Steam or boil until just tender, then drain and cool. Mix 200g self-raising our with 1 large egg and 200ml milk until you have a thick batter. Stir in the cauliower pieces to coat. Heat some oil in a large frying pan and drop in tablespoons of the mixture one at a time take care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 3-4 minutes each side. Serves 4

Boiling cauliower is quick and easy but steaming locks in more avour. Or why not try it roasted? Break into large even-sized orets and toss in olive oil. Put in a shallow baking dish and roast at 200C/180C Fan/ Gas 6 for 25-30 minutes.

HOW TO PREPARE Carefully run a small sharp knife vertically around the middle of the plum. Twist to seperate, then ease out the stone with a teaspoon.
BAKED PLUMS Halve and stone a few ripe plums (see left). Put in a roasting tin cut side up and top them with some crushed gingernut biscuits. Brush the plums with melted butter. Bake in the oven at 200C/ 180C Fan/ Gas 6 for 20 minutes.
PLUM SAUCE Stone and quarter 4-5 plums and cook in a pan with a little butter. Add some brown sugar, a pinch of nutmeg and a good splash of port. Cook for 10 minutes until tender. Blitz until smooth. Serve with duck.
STEWED PLUMS Stone 8-10 plums, then cut each fruit into four pieces. Cook in a pan with a little butter, a sprinkling of sugar, a squeeze of lemon juice and a splash of water. Cook gently for 10 minutes. Chill for up to a week. Serve on toast or with yogurt.

This keeps for up to a month and is delicious with cold meats and cheeses
to coat. Add the bay leaf and thyme. Cover and cook over a very low heat, stirring often, until theyre really soft and falling apart but not coloured. This is called sweating and will take 20-30 minutes. Doing this will make the avour milder and will bring out the natural sweetness of the onions. Add the sugar, balsamic vinegar, red wine and apple juice and cook over a medium heat, uncovered, stirring often, until all the liquid has evaporated. This will take at least an hour. Stir continuously towards the end of the cooking time to make sure the chutney doesnt catch and burn. Half an hour before the chutney is ready, wash a 450g jar and lid in hot soapy water and then rinse and put in the oven for 20 minutes at 140C/ 120C Fan/Gas 1 to sterilise. Or you could wash the jar on the hot cycle in a dishwasher. Put the chutney in the sterilised jar and leave until cold. It will keep in the fridge for up to a month.

A savoury take on the classic French tarte tatin, which is turned upside down to reveal the lling
450g pack shallots 50g unsalted butter 3tbsp balsamic vinegar 3 level tbsp brown sugar 2 sprigs of fresh thyme 300g Asda Ready to Roll Puff Pastry Flour, for rolling out Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C Fan/Gas 6. Lightly grease a 20cm shallow (3-4cm deep) round cake tin make sure it isnt a loose-based tin or the liquid will run out as it cooks. Put the unpeeled shallots in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel the shallots, leaving just enough of the root end to stop them falling apart. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the shallots and cook over a low heat, stirring gently and turning often, for about 10-15 minutes or until they are tender. Take care not to let the butter burn. Add the vinegar, sugar and thyme and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy and thickened. Transfer the shallots and juices to the tin and leave to cool slightly for 10 minutes. Roll out the pastry and cut out a 23cm round. Lay it on top of the tin and tuck in the edges. Bake for about 25 minutes until the pastry has risen and turned golden. Turn out upside down onto a plate to serve.

A tagine is an ideal dish for weekend entertaining because, although it takes around two hours to cook, it doesnt take a lot of time to put together. Weve used lamb neck llet in this recipe because it becomes incredibly tender when slow-cooked and its reasonably priced. Plus, its easy to cut, which makes your job easier!

Medium bodied, this Rioja is full of juicy red berry notes with a hint of spice. Its perfect served with lamb.
Jims tips
A tagine can be made in advance and reheated. The avour
improves if its kept in the fridge for a few hours or up to a day, then reheated. If you fancy a change from lamb, you could make an equally delicious chicken or pork tagine by replacing the lamb in this recipe with skinless chicken thighs or pork steaks. You can use an authentic tagine instead of a casserole dish its conical lid provides plenty of room for steam to form, keeping the lamb and other food moist while they cook. But you dont have to use one to create this beautiful dish.

1 In a bowl, mix together the cumin, cinnamon, paprika, and grated lime zest. Make three slits in each of the chicken pieces, cutting through the skin and a little way into the flesh. Add to the bowl with the spices. 2 Add the rest of the ingredients (excluding the stock melt) and mix so that all the chicken and vegetables are well coated. If time allows, leave to marinade for about an hour. 3 Place into a baking tray big enough to spread everything out evenly and into a preheated oven at 180C (160 fan). Roast for 10 minutes, remove, and add the stock melt to the tray. As it melts, stir it into the chicken and vegetables. Return to the oven and roast for another 20 25 minutes until the chicken is nicely browned, cooked through and piping hot. 4 Cook cous cous following the pack instructions, replacing water with vegetable stock and add chopped coriander.

Asthma answers
Got a question about your asthma medication? Our trained pharmacists at your local Asda Pharmacy can help with any concerns
Is your asthma under control? According to charity Asthma UK, 75 per cent of hospital admissions relating to asthma could be avoided if asthmatics were in better control of their condition. Knowing what medicines to take and when is crucial, so why not make an appointment with our pharmacists to discuss your medication, and check youre using your inhaler properly*? And if you arent able to get to your own doctor, visit your Asda pharmacist for a consultation and you may be able to buy your inhaler without a prescription**. Also, dont forget to use our new inhaler recycling scheme to dispose of your old one for free. There are 253 Asda in-store pharmacies in the UK, all with private consultation rooms. Theyre all open seven days a week until late, including bank holidays, so you can pop in when it suits you.
