Nigel Slater's Simple Cooking

Weird and Wonderful (1x8)

:

Nigel shows us that the most unlikely combinations of ingredients can often be the best, as he explores unusual ingredients and quirky twists on classic recipes. Newcomers to black pudding will be tempted by Nigel's alternative sausage roll, while lovers of the traditional bread and butter dessert will love Nigel's version, made with exotic spices and caramelised bananas. There's also a refreshing winter salad using some unsung heroes from the vegetable isle, and a wonderful savoury take on an apple crumble. In Derbyshire, Nigel is introduced to a rather unusual meat - boar - as young farmer Tom Clarke cooks him his signature boar burger.
