How to cook

This recipe is made with some raw ingredients and isn’t suitable for microwaving, so please follow these cooking instructions carefully.

Preheat your oven to 220 °C/200°C/Gas Mark 7. (Be careful not to grill by mistake!)Remove the film, then lift the two salmon en croutes out of their wooden tray and place them directly on a baking tray, together with the greaseproof paper. For best results, brush the pastry with milk or whisked egg*.Place in the centre of the oven and cook for 22 minutes until golden brown. If using a gas oven, cook for an extra 5 minutes.Make sure they’re piping hot throughout and leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving.*Don’t worry, they taste just as good without doing this. It just makes them look even better if you want to impress!

Bighams The Best - Just eaten your Mexican Chilli and it was delicious. So tasty but not too spicy- just how we like it.

Susie

Delish food. We have had a couple of Charlie's dishes, only found them recently namely the Paella (twice) which were thoroughly enjoyable and we thought good value for money

Viv

Just eaten a Chicken & Mushroom Fresh Pastry Pie and it was just so tasty. Okay a bit pricey but at a different level to the lower price point pies. A really good balance of chicken, mushroom and brilliant sauce. The fresh pastry sets it apart too.

Carol

Best moussaka outside of Greece! How refreshing to have a moussaka that is solid and not sloppy, like most supermarket varieties! Really authentic flavours ... simply love it!

Beverley

Love the little crispy potatoes on top of the spicy chicken. Why on earth bother to go out to eat!! We make each of Charlies meals a special occasion.

Edna

I am blown away. Truly restaurant quality. I really didn't think a ready meal could be so delicious. Perfection and you can tell they really take pride in what they do. Believe me, try one and you will see why! First class

Mick

These steak and ale pies are the business, for supermarket products they can't be faulted, we've tried other Charlie Bighams products thoroughly enjoyed them all.

Barbara

CB’s are some of the best ready meals I’ve tried, often as good as home cooking… the macaroni cheese I’ve just had is actually better than my own!

Alice

Charlie's ready meals are the best I have ever eaten. The meatballs Al Forno are the best I have had outside of Florence and New York.

Brian

Really enjoy your fish pies, lots of chunky pieces of fish in a very tasty sauce

Sue

I’m always looking for ways to make everything we do even better, so if you have any ideas, I’d love to hear what you think.

Here is the best way to recycle our packaging:

‍

Cardboard Sleeve / box – can be recycled with your usual household paper and cardboard.
‍

Plastic Film – can be recycled with carrier bags at larger supermarkets if they are clean
‍

Foil – can be recycled with your usual household metal packaging.
‍

Paper liners - are certified as recyclable and compostable to industrial standards, however, it is best to check with local authorities, as once they are soiled with foodstuff they can contaminate other packaging waiting to be recycled/composted. Some local councils agree to take these paper liners as they have invested in a better infrastructure that allows cleaning during the pulping process.

If you are unsure, we would advise to place the liner in to general waste, as each council is different and operate their waste streams in different ways

‍

Wooden Trays – Unfortunately, we can’t reuse wooden trays after use for food safety reasons and they’re not recyclable. Our trays will break down in less than 12 months in the right conditions, and we’re running industrial composting tests. We’re exploring options with UK waste providers to find an anaerobic digestion solution, so customers can easily dispose of their trays via kerbside food waste collections. We support the aims of the Compostable Coalition UK, which wants to ensure compostable packaging is collected and composted via existing UK bio-waste

Lots of our customers tell us how they can be re-used instead. For example, they make great seed planters and serving trays! We’d love to see what you do with yours – do let us know at hello@bighams.com

‍

Ceramic pots – once you have polished off your pies there are lots of fantastic ways to reuse your ramekins. Here are some of our favourites:

· Plant pots for herbs

· Dishes for pre-dinner nibbles and dips.

· Individual Yorkshire pudding dishes.

· A brilliant way to cook and serve Shepherd’s Pies, or Apple Crumbles.

· Finger bowls (just add hot water and a slice of lemon).

· Sous-chef dishes (add your chopped ingredients and get organised in the kitchen.)

‍

Alternatively, you can now donate your ceramic dishes to your local Oxfam shop, where they can be sold to raise vital funds for Oxfam to help fight poverty and inequality around the world. Do make sure that they are clean and wrapped up safely, and add Gift Aid if you can, so Oxfam can make the most of your donation.

You can find your local shop here: https://www.oxfam.org.uk/shops/
