Bonfire Night Recipes for a Warm and Welcoming Celebration

As the winter months approach, bonfire night is the perfect excuse to gather with friends and family, enjoying delicious food and warm company. When hosting a bonfire night gathering, it’s essential to serve dishes that are easy to eat, warm, and comforting. According to Wendy Rowe, a renowned wellness expert, “it’s best to keep things simple and have warming comfort food in mind.” In this article, we’ll explore some quick and easy bonfire night recipes that are perfect for a get-together or to take to a display.

When it comes to planning your bonfire night menu, consider dishes that can be served in pots and mini ramekins, allowing guests to pick and choose what they fancy. This approach not only adds to the festive atmosphere but also ensures that everyone finds something they enjoy. As Rowe suggests, “serve everything in pots and mini ramekins so that guests can pick and choose what they fancy.”

Quick and Easy Bonfire Night Recipes

One of the simplest and most delicious bonfire night recipes is a squash frittata. This dish is perfect for a crowd, as it can be made in large quantities and served in slices. According to Rowe, “I often make a frittata when I have friends over; it’s wholesome and looks great, and people can tuck into as much or as little as they want.” To make a squash frittata, you will need:

15g butter
1 squash, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Leaves from 8 sprigs of thyme
8 medium eggs
Small handful of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
50g Parmesan cheese, grated
Sea salt and black pepper

To prepare the frittata, follow these steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan.
2. Melt half the butter in a large ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add the squash and garlic and cook for five minutes until softened, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Melt the remaining butter in the pan, add the sweet potatoes, cumin and thyme and cook over a medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes until tender and golden. Remove the pan from the heat.
4. Remove the sweet potatoes from the pan and place on kitchen paper to absorb some of the moisture.
5. Place the eggs in a bowl with the parsley and Parmesan and whisk together.
6. Transfer the squash mixture and sweet potatoes back into the pan and mix. Season with salt and pepper and pour in the egg mixture.
7. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until firm (finish under the grill for an extra crispy finish). Divide between plates or leave in the pan and let guests help themselves.

In addition to the squash frittata, there are many other delicious and easy-to-make bonfire night recipes. Some ideas include jacket potatoes cooked in foil, sausage and mash, kale soup with chilli oil, and mac and cheese. These dishes are all perfect for a bonfire night gathering, as they are warm, comforting, and easy to eat.
