Hazelnut encrusted Pork Chops

Hazelnut encrusted Pork Chops recipe, eat well on universal credit

This bit of Loin cost us just over £3. We had a stir-fry the other evening and I cut these two thick Chops out of the rest of it. So Meat wise this was an ‘in budget’ meal. The Nuts were free, I just collect them when they fall. So all in all, not a bad gig price wise….

Ingredients:-

2 Thick Pork Chops
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
½ Tsp of Dried Rosemary
30g of Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
30g of Hazelnuts, Roasted and ground
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to season
2 Tbsp of Margarine (Dairy free for us), melted

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients.
(2) Pre-heat the oven to 180c.
(3) Press the crust paste onto both sides of the Chops.
(4) Place in the oven on a tray and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops.

We served ours with hand cut Chips, a little salad for colour, a fried Egg and Beans. This crust was really good. When we were sorting through the left-overs  this morning I chose the coating over the last bits of Meat - That never happens!

Fish ‘N’ Chips

Back to a bit of a classic really. We don’t often have flaky Fish, in fact I think this is the first time in over four years. But we were kindly given some Cod and decided to do Cod, Chips Peas and DIY Tartar (Style) Sauce.

The Batter for the Fish was a variant of the Soda Water Tempura we’ve been tinkering with recently:-

Ingredients:-

Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Salt & Pepper
Ground Turmeric

The Turmeric doesn’t add a great deal to the taste, but it does give an appealing golden brown colour to the batter once it has been fried.

Sue’s Take on Tartar Sauce might not be traditional as such, but it really worked and we had the ingredients in the cupboard.

Ingredients:-

Mayonnaise
Whole grain Mustard
Gherkins, very finely chopped
Capers, finely sliced
Lemon Juice
Fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Mix it up.
(2) Dip things in it….

Quick, easy and very tasty. There’s not even a lot of washing up to deal with – Bonus!
