First Roast of 2020

First Roast of 2020

We’re not overly keen of the white meat on a Turkey. But when a thigh and drummer are available I grab one. At £4.25 it’s considerable better value weight for weight than a Chicken as we often get 6 servings out of it. On Wednesday we did the Turkey Rissoles, yesterday we had a roast with the thigh. We still have leftovers which will probably make the foundation for a Pasta or Curry dish this evening.

Turkey leg meat doesn’t have a particularly strong flavour so it can be treated like all sorts of other meats. On this occasion Sue might well have been pretending that it was Lamb!

Ingredients:-

1 Turkey Thigh
2 sprigs of fresh Rosemary ( Acquired from the local bush )
4 Cloves of Garlic, halved
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Rub the the thigh with Oil and season well.
(2) Pierce with a knife and push the Garlic into the meat.
(3) Oil a baking tray.
(4) Place the sprig of Rosemary in the tray and sit the Turkey on top.
(5) Cover with foil and place in the oven at 180c for an hour or so.

We enjoyed ours with Gluten free Yorkshire puddings, Roast Potatoes, plenty of Vegetables and home made Gravy. Superb!

Camp Salami and Potato FrittataStrangely 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!
