Rissoles are a great way of using up precooked meat leftovers. In this case because we were looking for a recipe starting with “R” for our Recipe Alphabet gig we cooked the Turkey drumstick intentionally.
Crispy coating can be a problem for us as Sue can’t have Gluten. So the Crisps trick come into play again!
Ingredients:-
The shredded meat from a Turkey Drumstick
4 medium Potatoes, boiled and mashed
100g Cheese, grated
6 heads of fresh Sage, finely chopped (dried Sage would do the trick)
2 Egg, beaten for Egg wash
Flour (Gluten free in our case)
1 large bag of Cheese and Onion Crisps, smashed up
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry
Method:-
(1) In a bowl thoroughly mix the shredded meat, mashed Potato, grated Cheese and Sage.
(2) Season to taste.
(3) Form into mini-burger shaped discs about 1cm think.
(4) Dredge in Flour.
(5) Coat on both sides with Egg wash.
(6) Coat with smashed Crisps.
(7) Fry on both side in a little Oil until golden brown and the Cheese is melting.
We actually served these on their own with a little salad as they are monumentally filling. They are also very good cold, as we’ve discovered this morning! But they would make an outstanding side dish if you made a smaller batch.
Giant Yorkshire Puddings are a favourite here. A great way to fill up with inexpensive ingredients. But they do offer a bit of a challenged as Sue cannot have any Wheat / Gluten in here diet for medical reasons. So her recipe is always evolving. Jake from York Secret Helpers provided us with some Arrowroot from a commercial ingredients donation which they had received. Always good to try new recipe variations Sue created this. At first we though it was going to be a total failure. But it's just a slow starter! The results as you can see were pretty impressive. What you can't see in the picture is that the texture was considerably better than our previous recipe without the “Suggy bottom” Yorkshires sometimes have. In fact this is probably better than the traditional Wheat based recipe....
Ingredients:-
100g Arrowroot
40g Potato Flour
3 Eggs
140Ml Milk
Salt & Pepper to season
Method:-
(1) Mix the Arrowroot, Potato Flour, Eggs, Salt and Pepper and combine well.
(2) Place a deep sided oven tray with Oil in the over on 220C to heat until smoking hot.
(3) Add the Milk and give your batter a really good whisk.
(4) Pour the batter into the oven tray and cook on the middle shelf for 30minutes, until golden brown.
We have ours with a roast Chicken dinner with lots of vegetables and gravy with the roasting juices from the Chicken.
