Lemon Chicken
The Chicken was £2.69 from Lidl and we have at least ½ left for tonight. So we’re well within budget here….
Ingredients:-
1 Chicken, portioned (That’s cut up into large lumps with the kitchen scissors – folks!)
1 Lemon, grated and squeezed
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
2 tsp dried Thyme
2 tsp fresh ( Borrowed ) Rosemary
Salt & ground Black Pepper
Butter (OK we can’t afford Butter – Just pretend with Margarine!)
Method:-
(1) Melt the Butter.
(2) Dress everything well. (Goth leather corsets are cool)
(3) Put in the oven at 180c and cook.
Tasty food doesn’t need to go “Ping” in the Microwave and cost a fortune. After all we all seem to have a bit of time on our hands now…...

Strangely we found a pile of rather elderly eggs in the wood which had been dumped. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Ingredients:-
4 thin Salami sticks.
4 Egg
300ml Semi skimmed Milk
4 medium sized Potatoes, peeled
1 Onion
2 cloves of Garlic
100g of grated Cheese
Salt and Pepper
Vegetable oil
Method:-
(1) Parboil the Potatoes until they are soft enough to slice but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
(2) Cut the Salimi stick in 1cm pieces.
(3) Whisk the Eggs, Milk, half of the grated Cheese, salt and Pepper.
(4) Slice the Onion, grate the Garlic and fry gently until the Onion is softened. Take off the heat.
(5) Slice the Potatoes.
(6) Add a little more Oil to the pan and place over a medium heat.
(7) Mix all the ingredients except the remaining grated Cheese and fry gently until it is cooked half way up from the bottom.
(8) If you have a grill heat it and place the Frittata on the top shelf to complete cooking. If not carefully flip it over in the pan.
(9) Sprinkle the remaining grated Cheese over the top and allow to melt slightly.
We garnished ours with wild Sorrel found in the meadows near the tent. Clearly not essential!

Why Cane Toad? Well they are pretty big and so is this monster! You can buy a Yorkshire pudding mix from most supermarkets for less than 50p and all you need to do is add a couple of eggs and water. Just make sure your oil is smoking hot! Sue's Gluten Free batter mix is below.
Ingredients:-
6 Pork and Leak sausages (GF versions are available and no more expensive)
Oil
For the GF batter mix:-
140g of GF plain flour
50g of Cornflour
140ml of semi skimmed Milk
3 Eggs
A dash of cold water
Sat & Pepper
Vegetable oil
Method:-
(1) In a frying pan fry your sausages.
(2) Preheat the oven to 220C.
(3) Place vegetable oil in a baking tray and heat until smoking hot.
(4) Add the Eggs to the Milk and whisk.
(5) Mix the GF Flour and Cornflour and season with Salt and Pepper.
(6) Add the Flour mix a little at a time to the Egg and Milk mix whisking it as you go.
(7) You should aim for a smooth runny texture.
(8) Add straight to the hot Oil and add your fried sausages hot to the batter.
(9) Place on the top shelf of the oven for about 30 minutes. Until the Yorkshire Pudding has risen and golden brown.
We like this with Mustard mashed Potato, Cabbage, batoned Carrots and Onion gravy, but the vegetables are entirely up to you.

There were quite a number of green tomatoes in the community garden which were not likely to riped and we found some wind-fall apples. This green tomato and apple chutney is the perfect combination of sweet and savoury and works well with a curry.
Ingredients:-
450g (1 lb) green tomatoes, chopped
450g (1 lb) onions, minced
225g (1/2 lb) apples, cored and chopped
450g (1 lb) brown sugar
55g (2 oz) salt
300ml (1/2 pt) spirit vinegar
1 teaspoon whole Black Peppercorns
Method:-
(1) Combine all of the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the chutney has cooked down and thickened.
(2) While the chutney is still hot, ladle into sterilised jars, seal tightly and leave undisturbed overnight to set. Store in a cool dark place until ready to use.
