Chicken Stew with Apricot Dumplings (Dombolo)

As comforting as the chicken stew is on its own, the real surprise comes with the dumplings. Rather than the traditional plain version, these soft, fluffy dumplings are filled with apricot jam, creating an unexpected sweet-and-savoury combination that works remarkably well. The gentle sweetness of the fruit pairs beautifully with the savoury chicken stew, adding little pockets of flavour that make every bite a little different from the last.

Peanut Butter & Jam Brownies

The combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and raspberry works remarkably well together. The deep, fudgy chocolate base carries those delicious swirls of smooth peanut butter (or crunchy – you’re the chef!) and fruity raspberry jam. As they are swirled throughout the batter, no two brownies are quite the same. Some bites are packed with rich peanut butter flavour, while others showcase bursts of sweet raspberry, making every square a little different from the last – it’s one of those… oeps, I ate the whole batch kinda treats, so watch out!
