Snacks & Sides
- A classic tomato tart ideal for a light lunch or supper. The mustard provides a delightful contrast to the sweet tomatoes. We've used a mix of different sizes and colors, but you can use whatever you have on hand. This tart can be enjoyed hot or cold, and it can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Created by AGA Demonstrator Naomi Hansell, this recipe celebrates the launch of our new AGA Mustard colourway.
- Enjoy a quick and easy lunch or Sunday night supper with this Mustardy Welsh Rarebit. We've chosen our favorite sourdough, but feel free to use any thickly sliced white or wholegrain bread.

- Caramelized red onions topped with melted goat's cheese on toasted ciabatta make a simple yet delicious starter or lunchtime snack.
- These tartlets are ideal for a quick canape or lunch dish. Super easy to prepare and quick to cook, you’ll be making them every week! Experiment with different flavoured pesto or tapenade and use peppers instead of tomatoes.
- Flatbreads bring a delightful Mediterranean touch to any meal. They’re easy to make and cook beautifully directly on the simmering plate. Serve them alongside tagines, casseroles, or slow-roasted lamb for a perfect pairing.
- Root vegetables cook perfectly in the AGA simmering oven, preserving flavour and goodness. This simple method can be used for any root vegetables like carrots, swedes or parsnips, just ensure you cut them into even-sized pieces.
- No party is complete without sausage rolls, and homemade ones are both tastier and more fun to make. We’ve used tomato and chili chutney for added flavor, but red onion chutney works just as well. They’re always a crowd-pleaser!
- Individual onions stuffed with sage-spiced sausage meat, bejeweled with sweetcorn and cranberries, make the perfect accompaniment to your Christmas centerpiece or a delightful light lunch on their own.

- A recipe from a German friend, which is a favourite at their Christmas festivities. It is a creamy dip with smoked salmon, cornichon and dill. We’ve served it with pesto baked pitta bread crisps but it’s also delicious with lightly toasted sourdough.

- Such an easy side dish to serve with a roast. It can be made the day beforehand, refrigerated and reheated the next day. The date syrup is an excellent sweetener, but maple syrup works equally well. It can be cooked in the simmering oven or on the hotplate. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this wonderful recipe as part of our Christmas around the world series.
