 Pheasant with peanut butter, tomatoes and flageolet beans
This dish is from a recipe by Clarissa Dickson Wright and appears in her book The Game Cookbook. Her inspiration comes from the way Africans cook guinea fowl. I have adapted it a bit so that it will work in a thermal cooker.

 Portuguese Fish Stew - Video
This Portuguese fish stew is normally made in a cataplana which is a Moorish designed copper domed dish. I have made mine in a thermal cooker which like the cataplana keeps the flavours in so they develop their intensity while cooking. The Western Algarve style cooking includes potatoes, firm white seasonal fish, seafood, peppers and a hint of chili. Once served from the thermal cooker all that is needed is a spoon and some crusty bread to mop round the bowl.
