Kale & Onion Bhaji

Kale & Onion Bhaji recipe, eat well on universal credit

Maybe far from traditional, but we’re not known for being tradition respecters…..

Kale in the Curry. Kale in the Sag Aloe. Just Kale and more Kale. There is a reason for this. But to protect the dignity of others, let’s just say we have quite a bit of Kale to work through….

We’re awash with Kale at the moment so we modified this recipe, to our surprise it actually worked really well.

Ingredients:-

1 Large Onion, roughly sliced
300g of Kale, fried with a little Oil and Five Spice until dark
1 Tsp of Hot Chilli Powder
1 Tsp of Onion Salt
1 Tsp of Garlic Salt
1 Tsp of Baking Powder
1 Tsp of Black Lime Power
1 Tsp of Turmeric
Fresh ground Black Pepper
Water
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Kale with Five Spice until you have a crispy texture and most of the water has been driven out.
(2) Set aside on kitchen paper to drain and cool.
(3) Mix to batter Onion and Kale with enough Water to make a very sticky batter.
(4) Heat Oil to 170c.
(5) Using a ladle and a spoon drop flat fritters into the hot Oil in batches.
(6) When then float remove them and set aside.
(7) Just before serving re-fry them in batches and drain before serving.

The crunch from the fried Kale and the taste was really good. Sometimes you happen on something a bit odd which really works…..

Magical Rice Noodles

As part of the filming we did last week we took up the challenge to produce a three course meal for around our usual daily budget. We normally just have one large main course each and pick at leftovers.

So although nobody will be interested in me typing up yet another stir-fry recipe. I thought it might be fun to let you into a little secret we discovered. There are quite a few starch based dry goods with will behave like Popadums if you throw them into your deep fat fryer. One of our favourites are Glass Rice Noodles from the local Asian Supermarket. They added a bit of visual interest and crunch, but also bulked the dish out for a few pence.

Method:-

(1) Pre-heat the fryer to 170c.
(2) Once the Oil is hot test your noddles by throwing a short length in. If it puffs and pops up dramatically all is good.
(3) Fry small batches and drain over kitchen paper.
(4) Use to dress the top of Asian dishes and sprinkle with a little Paprika for colour.
