Fish ā€˜N’ Chips

Fish ā€˜N’ Chips

Back to a bit of a classic really. We don’t often have flaky Fish, in fact I think this is the first time in over four years. But we were kindly given some Cod and decided to do Cod, Chips Peas and DIY Tartar (Style) Sauce.

The Batter for the Fish was a variant of the Soda Water Tempura we’ve been tinkering with recently:-

Ingredients:-

Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Salt & Pepper
Ground Turmeric

The Turmeric doesn’t add a great deal to the taste, but it does give an appealing golden brown colour to the batter once it has been fried.

Sue’s Take on Tartar Sauce might not be traditional as such, but it really worked and we had the ingredients in the cupboard.

Ingredients:-

Mayonnaise
Whole grain Mustard
Gherkins, very finely chopped
Capers, finely sliced
Lemon Juice
Fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Mix it up.
(2) Dip things in it….

Quick, easy and very tasty. There’s not even a lot of washing up to deal with – Bonus!

Turkey Thigh dinner in a giant Gluten free Yorkshire Pudding

We like a Turkey Thigh and Drummer when they are available. This was the 3rd meal from it and we’re having a Curry with the rest tonight. Not bad for £4.65 for 2 humans and Tigger the Cat. I “Tunnel Boned” the Thigh so we could just cook the meat on a bed of fresh Rosemary with Salt, Pepper and a sprinkling of herbs and Oil over the top.

We’ve slightly modified the Yorkshire Pudding recipe as there is lots of fresh Sage and Rosemary available locally:-

Ingredients:-

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

The other vegetables excluding the Broccoli had been blanched and frozen earlier in the month, for “A Rainy Day”. We really are running close to the bone for the next few days. But that doesn’t mean we have to eat rubbish food!
