Turkey Kofta

Turkey Kofta recipe

Gluten free wraps for 20p as opposed to £2.00 in the yellow sticker fridge were the foundation of this idea. We also had a pack of yellow sticker Turkey Sausages in the freezer which cost us £1.29 a few weeks ago. This was a good opportunity to use up some bits and bobs in the fridge. Things like ½ a pack of fresh Mint which was bought for a recipe, but was beginning to look a bit sad….

Ingredients for the Kofta:-

6 Turkey Sausages
½ A large Onion, diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of fresh Parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp of fresh Mint, finely chopped
½ Tsp of Smoked Paprika
½ Tsp of Cumin
½ Tsp of Cinnamon
½ Tsp of All Spice
½ Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
1 Spring Onion, finely diced
Salt & Pepper

Ingredients for the Wrap filling:-

Grated mature Cheddar Cheese
2 Tomatoes, sliced
1 Red Onion, finely sliced
Brown Sauce (DIY Recipe here!)

Method:-

(1) If you are using wooden Skewers, soak them in water.
(2) Use a sharp knife to de-skin the Sausages.
(3) Mix all the ingredients and form into thick Sausage shapes.
(4) Push the skewer through the middle of Kofta lengthways.
(5) Place under the grill and turn regularly until they are slightly browned and cooked through.
(6) On a board remove the skewers and cut the Kofta into thin slices diagonally using a shape knife.
(7) Sprinkle the wraps with water and pop in the Microwave for a few seconds to soften.
(8) Add a little Brown Sauce, grated Cheese, sliced Onion, sliced Tomato. Avoid the ends so you can fold them in.
(9) Lay the sliced Kofta over the top.
(10) Fold the ends in and then wrap.
(11) Cut diagonally and serve.

We served these with home made Coleslaw, Wholegrain Mustard dressing, Killer Cucumber Pickle – All of which we already had made up – and hand cut chunky chips.

Cajun Chicken Burger with Spiced Rum Hot Sauce

 

There’s a tale behind this very odd recipe. We were given a bottle of Fairfax handcrafted Chocolate and Walnut Rum. Quite some gift! It was bankrupt stock and the label was damaged, the loss adjusters didn’t want it, but we’re not complaining. However neither of us drink spirits…

We’re not really into sweets as such so Sue cobbled this Cajun Burger gig together and it was really really good. A bit of a treat which we’d certainly not be able to afford without the gifted Rum!

General Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts
Gluten free Bread Crumbs + 2 tea Spoons of Cajun Spice Mix
Gluten free Plain Flour
2 Eggs beaten
2 Gluten free Bread Buns
2 Eggs
Mayonnaise
Bacon
Cheese
Oil to fry

Ingredients for the marinade:-

Cajun Spice Mix
Sweet Paprika
Garlic Powder
Oregano
Salt & White Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
Cumin
Thyme
A hearty slug of Rum

Ingredients for the Hot Sauce:-

The remaining marinade
Hot Sauce
BBQ Sauce
More Rum!
Lime Juice
Caster Sugar

Method:-

(1) Mix all the marinade ingredients and add the Chicken Breasts.
(2) Allow to sit in the fridge covered overnight.
(3) Remove the Breasts from the marinade and pour the remaining marinade into a sauce pan.
(4) Add the remaining Hot Sauce ingredients to the pan.
(5) Dredge the Breasts in Flour, then coat in the whisked Egg then dredge in the Bread Crumbs.
(6) Set your Hot sauce to simmer over a very low heat.
(7) Grill your Bacon until it is crispy and set aside.
(8) Fry the Chicken Breasts gently turning occasionally until cooked through and golden on both sides.
(9) Place the Bacon over the Chicken Breasts and then add a Cheese which will melt.
(10) Place under the grill.
(11) Dress the base of the bun with Mayonnaise and the top with your reduced and cooled Hot Sauce.
(12) Fry the Eggs until the Yoke is still runny.
(13) Build your Burger with the Eggs on top and secure with a skewer.

Served simply with some chips this was outstanding. I’m guessing we’ll never be able to order this in a restaurant and if we could we’d probably have to sell our souls and our Cat to afford it!!!!!
