"H" - Honduras - Arroz con Pollo

Arroz con Pollo recipe, Eat Well on Universal Credit

Around the World for £4 Or Less took us to “H” for Honduras yesterday evening.

This recipe was supposed to be sufficient for four. Actually you could easily serve six substantial portions. So you might want to reduce the ingredient quantities!

Ingredients:-

4 Chicken thighs

1 Cup of frozen Peas

1 cup of Basmati Rice

2 tbs Oil

2 Carrots, cut into batons

1/3 Leek, cut into chunks

1 tin Chopped Tomatoes

1 large Onion

5 cloves of Garlic, quartered

1 bunch of Parsley, chopped

2 bullet Chillies, sliced

1 tbs Salt

½ tbs Black Pepper

1 tbs Curry powder

1 tbs Chilli powder

1 Bouquet Garni

1 small Red Bell Pepper, sliced

1 Lime cut into wedges

Method:-

(1) Add all the ingredients except the Rice, Bell Pepper and Peas to a large pan with water and bring to the boil.

(2) Simmer for 30 minutes.

(3) Remove the Chicken and allow to cool.

(4) Strain the stock from the other cooked ingredients and set aside.

(5) Cut the cooked Chicken from the bone into rough cubes.

(6) In a frying pan add the Oil and Rice and fry until the rice has taken on a little colour.

(7) Add the stock, frozen Peas and Red Bell Pepper.

(8) Bring to the boil and then simmer and stir until the Rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the Stock.

(9) Add the vegetables and remove the Bouquet Garni.

(10) Simmer until heated through.

(11) Add the Chicken and stir until evenly heated.

Serve garnished with chopped Parsley, sliced Chillies and Lime wedges.

Burger Pie recipe, eat well on universal credit

I read a novel many moons ago, I can’t remember the name now. But one of the fictional creations was a Spiders web which had dispensed with the need for the Spider and fed directly on the insects which landed on it. Our Burger had the same contempt for it’s bun, it seems!

Ingredients:-

500g Minced Beef
½ Tsp of Garlic Powder
½ Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
50g of Sauerkraut
1 Gherkin, chopped
2 Pickled Radishes, chopped
50g of grated Cheese or your choice (Lactose free for us)
4 Rashers of Bacon, fried
2 Tbsp of Sweet Pepper & Chilli Sauce (Sue’s own creating)
2 Sheets of Puff Pastry (Just Roll Gluten free for us)
1 Egg, beaten
Oil to fry
Sesame Seeds to garnish
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Combine the minced Beef with the Garlic Powder, Cayenne and Salt & Pepper.
(2) Form into 2 large patties by hand.
(3) Add Oil to a pan and fry the Bacon, then set aside.
(4) In the same pan fry the patties on both sides, just enough to seal them.
(5) Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
(6) Lay out 2 half sheets of Pastry and place each burger in the centre.
(7) Add a table spoon of Sweet Pepper & Chilli Sauce to each and then add the pickles, cooked Bacon, Cheese and top with the Sauerkraut.
(8) Bring up the sides of the Pastry and wrap around.
(9) Brush the other 2 halves of Pastry with Egg around the edges.
(10) Place on top of the Burger and seal the edges.
(11) Brush with Egg and sprinkle over the Sesame Seeds.
(12) Place on a lined tray in a pre-heated oven at 170c for 20 minutes or until the Pastry is golden brown.

The mince was not marked as a special offer as such. But at £1.69 for 500g it was remarkably good value. We served this little creating with hand cut chips, Baked Beans and a few left over dips.
