Delia's menu for October
OK, autumn's finally here, so what better excuse to tuck into a wonderful soup, braised venison sausages and a traditional apple pudding for 2 or 3 people? The starter and pud both serve 4 so you could add a few more sausages...
Starter
Leek, Onion and Potato Soup
This has to be one of my own top of the pops favourites and has proven to be one of my most popular recipes with everyone over the years. The chilled version of this soup is a classic vichyssoise. Either way, it’s an absolute winner.
Main course
Venison Sausages Braised in Red Wine
Bangers are bangers, but there are some bangers that are extremely special – and venison sausages are positively five-star, especially when you serve them braised slowly with herbs, shallots, mushrooms and red wine. Then all you need is a dreamy pile of light, creamy mashed potato to go with them.
served with
Perfect Mashed Potato
This is now my standard all-time mashed potato recipe. To make a low-fat version, replace the butter, milk and crème fraîche with 5 oz (150 g) of Quark (skimmed-milk soft cheese) and 2-3 tablespoons of semi-skimmed milk.
Dessert
Traditional Apple Charlotte
This is a real apple charlotte, moulded in a basin, so that when it's turned out the outside is crisp and buttery with the apples cooked to a pulp inside.
