Wood Ear Stir-Fry

Wood Ear Stir-Fry

We have a friend who is very much a coastal forager and is now exploring the delights of Fungus foraging. There are a few fungi which are edible and really don’t have any toxic look-alikes. Wood Ears (Auricularia auricula-Judae) are one of these and a great starters foraged fungus. We had a donation yesterday and cobbled this stir-fry together to go with our Giant Toad In The Hole.


A cautionary note:- Wood Ears have a nasty habit of spitting quite dramatically when fried. Stand back! They also act as a flavour sponge, which is cool!

Ingredients:-

Sliced Wood Ears
Cavolo Nero, de-stemmed and sliced
Minced Ginger
Minced Garlic
Chiili Flakes
A Squeeze of Lemon juice
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Slice the Wood ears into strips.
(2) Add the Oil to a large frying pan or Wok.
(3) Fry and stir.

Gluten free Rosemary Yorkshire Puddings

It was my turn to play with food yesterday, so I though we might try adding a bit of Rosemary to the Yorkshire Pudding mix. It worked well and wasn’t overpowering.

Ingredients:-

100g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper
1 sprig of fresh Rosemary, finely chopped

Method:-

(1) Heat your oiled Yorkshire Pudding tray in the oven at 220c until the oil is smoking.
(2) Whisk all the ingredients vigorously.
(3) Pour into the tray and return to the oven very quickly.
(4) Cook at 220c for 10 minutes the reduce the temperature to 180c.
(5) Cook for a further 25 minutes.
(6) Remove and either allow to cool or serve immediately. Your Yorkshire Puddings will stand reheating if required.

Saturday is pretty close to Sunday, so we served them with a “Sunday Roast” with Onion gravy.
