Sue has family in Wales and we were looking for another recipe project. So Welsh recipes it is….
Ingredients for the Laver Cakes:-
2 Tbsp of Laverbread (We bought this in a tin as it’s a long walk to Wales to harvest out own!)
3 Tbsp of Gluten Free Quinona Flakes
2 Tbsp of Buckwheat Flour
2 Tbsp of Cockles
Method:-
(1) Combine all the ingredients.
(2) Divide into two patties.
(3) Fry in a little Oil on a medium heat for 3 minutes on each side.
(4) Dress with a little Laver and a few Cockles to serve.
Apart from the Laver Cakes the other components were, A fried Egg, Pork and Caramelised Onion Sausages, Bacon, Baked Beans, Baby Tomatoes and fried foraged Pine Bolete Mushrooms.
The Laver Cakes are Sue’s modification using Quinona Flake to replace the Oats, so the Cakes are Gluten Free. If you can tolerate Oats, that would be more tradition. But they were really good!
We often say food on a (very restricted) budget, doesn't need to be boring. So here's our Sunday dinner at a cost of less than £4 to feed two humans and Buster the Dog!
Giant Yorkshire pudding – Recipe here – Total cost less than £1
Roast potatoes, red and green Cabbage and a couple of Carrots – say £1
½ a small Chicken – Exactly £1.06!
Chicken stock gravy – say 25p
There is a well known Yorkshire Pudding Wrap business in York where you could pay £6.95 for a quarter of that in a paper wrapper. But you do get a fancy branded napkin!
