Braised Chicory

Braised Chicory

Our friend John gave us some Chicory which was originally £1.29 for a pack of two. £1.29 is a budget buster for us. But free is superb!

Ingredients:-

2 Heads of Chicory, sliced lengthways
1 Shallot, finely sliced
2 Rashers of Bacon, cut into small bits
2 Gloves of Garlic, minced
Soy Sauce
1 tbsp of Brown Sugar
a Glug of Cider
Parsley, finely sliced
Margarine for frying
Italian style grated Cheese
Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Fry the Shallots until softened with Salt & Pepper.
(2) Add the Garlic.
(3) Add Bacon and fry until it is slightly browned.
(4) Add the Soy Sauce.
(5) Add the Brown Sugar.
(6) Add the Chicory cut side down and fry gently until it is slightly caramelised and turn over.
(7) Add the Cider, cover and braise for 10 mins.
(8) Mix the Bread Crumbs, Grated Cheese and Parsley.
(9) Sprinckle the crumb mix over the top and place under the grill for 5 minutes.

These made a really tasty side, served with masked Potatoes, Peas and roast Chicken.

Lemon Garlic Chicken recipe

The legs and wings were from a yellow sticker Chicken I butchered a while ago and froze. The mysterious nugget things are actually some Courgettes we’d peeled for a previous recipe we had in the fridge and some left over batter we made the day before for Tokneneng (battered Eggs!) Left overs don’t go to waste here…...

Ingredients:-

Chicken legs and wings
Garlic Powder
Zest of a Lemon
Lightly crushed Black Peppercorns
Seasoned self raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Olive Oil
Salt

Method:-

(1) Marinate the Chicken portions in the Oil, Garlic Powder, Black Peppercorns and Lemon Zest.
(2) Roll in the seasoned Flour to coat all sides.
(3) Fry on all sides until browned and set aside.
(4) Heat a fryer to 170c.
(5) Deep fry in batches and drain. You are looking for 75c or above near the bone if you have a food probe. If not lift from the oil on stab with a skewer, if the juices run clear you’re good.

We served ours in large home made Gluten free Yorkshire puddings with boiled spuds and stir-fried vegetables. Not quite a Sunday roast, but near enough!
