Chorizo & King Prawn Pizza

Chorizo & King Prawn Pizza recipe

We had half a stick of Chorizo in the fridge, a tub of cubed Yellow Sticker Cheese at 20p and a bit of time on our hands. So we made another version of Pizza in a giant Gluten free Yorkshire pudding.

It’s a favourite ‘go-to’ recipe here for clearing bits and bobs from the fridge. Basically if you have a Tomato base sauce and some Cheese you can throw all sorts of wonders between them. It’s never failed us yet!

For the base:-

Ingredients:-

100g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Pre-heat the oven to 220c, add oil or lard to a large tray and place in the oven.
(2) Whisk all the ingredients for the batter several time to get as much air into it as possible.
(3) When the oil / lard is smoking quickly pour your batter mix in and return to the oven.
(4) Reduce the heat to 180c.
(6) Cook for 30 to 35 minutes until the Yorkshire Pudding has risen and is lightly browned. Don’t over cook at you will be returning to the the oven to melt the Cheese.
(7) Add the Tomato Base sauce and then your filling ingredients.
(8) Add grated Cheese to the top and return to the oven until the Cheese has malted and is starting to brown slightly.

These things are huge. But the remaining half made great snacks for the following day. OK to be fair this actually fed both of us for two days!

Surf and Turf Burger recipe, eat well on universal credit

This was actually far from planned. We had a bit of salad in the fridge and the return time for me from stripping a large LED Screen was unpredictable. So I bought some cheep Mince, Lactose free Cheese and some Gluten free Buns. That would have made a pretty good burger. But on my way back from Coppergate I popped my head in at Tesco. King Prawns were on offer…… The Surf and Turf Burger was born…..  

General ingredients:-

(Feel free to use whatever you have in!)

Bread Buns (Gluten free for us)
Onions, Diced
Cheese (Laclose free here), sliced
Salad (Peas Shoots and Radish here)
Tomatoes, sliced
Pickles, Gherkins worked well
Mayonnaise
Tomato Sauce
Minced Beef (500g of 20% Fat mince was £1.29)
King Prawns
Garlic Butter (Actually DIY Garlic Margarine for us)

Method:-

(1) Mix the Minced Beef with a little Salt & Pepper and form into large Burgers by hand.
(2) Cut the Buns in half and toast a little under the grill.
(3) Grill the Burgers until they are pretty close to 75c in the thickest area. Turning to brown on eat side.
(4) Add the Cheese to the top of the Burgers and grill until the Cheese melts.
(5) Lightly fry the Prawns in Garlic Butter and set aside.
(6) Dress the top and bottom inners of the buns with Mayo, Tomato Sauce Onion, Salad and sliced Tomato.
(7) Assemble the Burger. Go all ‘Free Style’ we did!

It might look a total mess, but this was one of the best ‘Random’ Gourmet Burgers we’ve ever thrown together. Day 2 of Wimbledon Tomorrow, so when I get back we might batter and deep fry some Strawberries…. Yes I’m Joking!
