This week’s Braised beef in red wine and port comes courtesy of Dominic Teague, the award-winning Executive Chef at Indigo Restaurant in the luxurious One Aldwych hotel in Covent Garden. Having previously worked as a chef at Marco Pierre White’s L’Escargot and the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados, Dominic’s completely gluten and dairy free menu fuses British tradition with gentle invention and commits to including local, seasonal produce, and has led to Indigo Restaurant at One Aldwych being deemed as “one of London’s Best Gluten Free Restaurants” by the Evening Standard.
Bring a taste of One Aldywch to your own kitchen through this tasty winter warmer recipe, courtesy of the chef himself. Serve with soft creamy mash and lardons of bacon, topped off with fresh herbs.
Enjoy!
