Chef Shaun Ursell Bonfire Bistro A meal for kitchen staff 10 years ago led to the genesis of this longstanding and popular Bonfire Bistro pie that pops with zest and herbaceousness . Preserved lemon adds a concentrated tang — plan ahead , as this ingredient takes at least two weeks to cure . Piquant Sriracha packs a little punch and adds that final layer of flavour .
