Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3, or get a slow cooker ready. To make the pulled beef, heat the oil in a large, flameproof casserole or deep sauté pan over a high heat. Sear the beef in batches, making sure it's browned evenly on all sides. Remove the pieces to a paper-lined plate whilst you cook the rest. Pour the stock into the pan, along with the remaining pulled beef ingredients, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Mix together, then return the browned meat to the pan.

Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins and drop small pieces straight into a large, deep, non-stick frying pan, large wide-based saucepan or flame-proof casserole (it needs to be large enough to combine all the ingredients, including the pasta and water). Add a tablespoon of the oil and cook the sausagemeat for 3 minutes over a high heat, or until beginning to brown, stirring regularly.

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to the packet instructions. Reserve a little of the cooking water. Meanwhile, make the crunchy crumbs. If you have a food processor, break the bread into rough chunks and process until fine. Alternatively cut into small pieces using a serrated knife, they will be more like mini croûtons but just as delicious. Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat.

by Annie RiggHomemade marzipan is a revelation and is certainly worth the small effort involved in making it. You can use this recipe to make marzipan to coat a Christmas cake or to make chocolate-covered marzipans, which make great festive gifts. For this recipe you will need a sugar thermometer. For the chocolate marzipans, you’ll need a 3–4cm cookie cutter.
