Breakfast Burger

Breakfast Burgerrecipe, eat well on universal credit

There might be quite a few posts involving Bacon over the next few days. We made quite a bit of home cured Bacon! This is the third cure and we’ve refined it a little. The original recipe is here -  http://www.eatwellonuc.org.uk/index.php/recipes/599-dry-cured-bacon Which is pretty robust. This version was for a discounted bone in Loin which weighed just over 2Kg when I’d removed the bone and outer rind.

Rub ingredients:-

50g of Salt
30g of Sugar
3G of Saltpetre
4 Tsp of Smoked Paprika
1 Tsp of Garlic Powder
3 Tsp of fresh ground Black Pepper.

Method:-

(1) Trim the Pork Loin to as near to 2Kg as possible.
(2) Mix the rub ingredients in a bowl.
(3) Apply the rub evenly over the entire surface.
(4) Place in a tub in the fridge loosely covered.
(5) Turn daily for 3 weeks.

The Burgers were hand pressed from a yellow sticker pack of mince at £1.24

So the build went something like – Toasted (Gluten free) Bun base, Mayonnaise, Tomato Sauce, Lettuce, Red Onions, Tomato, Burger, Bacon, Mushrooms, Egg and the toasted Bun top.

As the name implies, we’re still eating this, this morning. Our Christmas roast might be late evening today!

Poussin Au Vin with tray baked Vegetables

Yellow sticker win for us again. The normal price on these was £3.17 which will buy us a medium Chicken which will last us for at least 2 days. But at £1 each we thought they deserved something a bit special.

Ingredients:-

Butter
Bacon
1 Poussin per serving
2 Shallots, sliced
Mushrooms, sliced
Fresh Thyme
Almond Milk
150g White Wine
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
Carrot, finely batoned
2 Bay Leaves
1 Egg York
Gluten free Flour
Chicken Stock
Parsley
Salt & Pepper
Oil & Margarine

Method:-

(1) Melt the Butter and slowly add Flour to form a Roux. Add Milk and whisk until you have a smooth sauce.
(2) In a separate pan fry the Shallots in Butter or Margarine then add the Garlic, Bacon, Carrot and Mushrooms. Season this with salt & Pepper.
(3) Fry the vegetables on a low heat until they are softened.
(4) Remove these from the pan and set aside to drain any excess oil.
(5) In the same pan add a little extra Oil and sear the Poussin on all sides.
(6) Transfer the Poussin to a casserole dish.
(7) Add the Bacon and vegetable combination you created earlier and some Chicken Stock, the Wine, Bay Leaves, chopped Parsley, Thyme and Egg Yoke.
(8) Simmer for 10 minutes stirring regularly.
(9) Pour the Roux sauce over the Poussins and cover the casserole disk with kitchen foil.
(10) Place in a pre – heated over at 180c for 30 to 40 minutes.

We served ours on a bed of baked Vegetables and it was a very restaurant style treat for us, whilst still being within our £4 budget!
