Three Hour Tour Recipes

THREE HOUR TOUR

Steps:

• Add ice to a cocktail shaker until it is 3/4 full.
• Add all the ingredients to the cocktail shaker; cover and shake vigorously.
• Strain into ice-filled highball glasses.
• Note--I have some silly plastic coconut shell glasses that I use for this drink; Fun for a luau type party.

THREE-HOUR REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Slice the cucumbers 1/4 in. thick. Slice onions 1/8 in. thick. Place both in a large nonmetallic bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over cucumber mixture. Stir well for 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months, stirring occasionally.

THREE-HOUR PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Toast 2 tbsp fennel seeds and 1 tsp black peppercorns in a dry frying pan for a couple of mins. Pound them together in a pestle and mortar with some flaked sea salt, the leaves from 1 small bunch of thyme and 3 garlic cloves to make a paste.
• Mix with 2 tbsp olive oil and rub all over the flesh of a 1½ - 2kg piece of boneless pork belly. Cover and chill, leaving to marinate for a few hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook, rub the skin of the joint with plenty of salt and 1 tbsp more olive oil. Sit on a wire rack in a roasting tin and roast at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 30 mins.
• After this time, squeeze 2 lemons over the skin and turn the heat down to 180C/ 160C fan/gas 4. Roast for a further 2 hrs.
• Finally, turn the heat back up to 220C/ 200C fan/gas 7 and give it a final blast for another 30 mins or so, to finish the crackling.
• Allow to rest somewhere warm for 20 mins. Carve up into chunks or slices and serve with the braised cabbage (below) and bay-infused potatoes (see 'goes well with').

3-HOUR PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, salt, instant yeast. Start mixing on low speed. Stream in the olive oil and water and mix for 2 minutes, until the flour is incorporated.
• Increase speed to medium, and mix for 6-8 minutes more, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest for 1½ hours.
• Turn the risen dough onto a clean surface and shape into a ball, pulling the edges round and tight across the surface of the dough ball. Return to the bowl, cover, and let rest for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Drizzle the surface with oil and turn out the dough. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Liberally grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Place a portion of dough on the pan and stretch to fit the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining portion of dough, or reserve for a later use.
• Top the dough with the crushed tomatoes and mozzarella.
• Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Top the pizza with flaky salt and basil.
• Use scissors to cut, then serve.
• Enjoy!

THREE-HOUR SHOULDER OF LAMB

Steps:

• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Mix the garlic, oregano and olive oil with some salt and pepper. Slash the lamb all over and rub the mixture into the meat. Place into a deep casserole dish with the onions and pour over the stock, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook 3 hrs.
• Remove the lamb from the pot, stir through the peas and broad beans. Sit the lamb back on top of the vegetables and return to the oven. Increase temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and roast, uncovered, for another 20-30 mins until the lamb is browned, adding the lettuce for the final 5 mins. Allow to rest for 20 mins, then add the lemon juice and mint to the cooking juices around the lamb. Remove the string, carve into thick slices and lay them back on top of the veg to make serving easier.
