Gammon Hock in a giant Yorkshire Pudding

Gammon Hock in a giant Yorkshire Pudding

Discount fridge Gammon Hock. I’ve generally avoided Gammon until now as Sue’s generally not a great fan. But we both really enjoyed it after a good hearty boiling with a few fragrant herbs and spices. There was enough meat for 4 adult servings for us from one Hock at £1.12.

Ingredients:-

Gammon Hock
Onion, roughly sliced
Whole Black Pepper corns
Bay Leaves
Ground Cloves
Dill
A pint of Cider

Method:-

(1) In a large pan immerse the Hock in water and bring it to the boil for a few minutes.
(2) Pour the water away and rinse the Hock in cold water,
(3) Refill the pan and add the Hock and all the other ingredients. Top the pan up with water once you’ve added the Cider and bring back to the boil.
(4) Once boiling reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for 2 to 3 hours.
(5) When the meat is almost falling off the bone remove from the pan and allow to drain.
(6) Strip the meat as you would with pulled Pork.

You can use your “Pulled Gammon” as you wish. We added ours to a full dinner in a giant Yorkshire Pudding, because we’re a bit sad like that!

Chinese Fake Away with Hazel Nuts as “Water Chestnuts”

There was a “Stir-Fry” pack in the Yellow Sticker fridge at the local Supermarket. As we’d frozen it we binned the vegetables and just used the Chicken. But at 92p who’s complaining? (Not us!)

Ingredients:-

250g of Sliced Chicken mini fillets
1 Onion, finely sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
½ a Red Pepper, finely sliced
2 Spring Onions, chopped
4 Mushrooms, sliced
A handful of Bean Sprouts
Chopped Kale
Toasted Hazel Nuts ( Recipe Here )
Soy Sauce (Gluten free in out case)
Ginger powder
Cornflour
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Marinade the Chicken in Soy Sauce, Cornflour, Salt & Pepper for 20 minutes.
(2) Fry the Chicken in a little Oil until tender bit not pink.
(3) Remove from the Wok or pan and set aside.
(4) Add the Onion, Garlic and Red Pepper with a splash of Soy Sauce & Ginger powder.
(5)  Fry on a high heat stirring as you go.
(6) Add the remaining ingredients – stir and fry until steaming hot but not wilted.

Serve over boiled Rice with Fries and Prawn Crackers for the most unconventional but typically English Chinese Fake-Away!
