Chicken Laver Kiev

Chicken Laver Kiev

Following our visit to the local Chinese supermarket last week we’ve been playing with Seaweed quite a bit. Sad I know! But we wondered if it would work in an experimental Chicken Kiev – Oh did it work!

Ingredients:-

Chicken Breasts – One per person
Back Bacon
Dried Seaweed, finely chopped
Gruyère Cheese, skinned and cut into strips
Home made Garlic Butter
Oil

Method:-

(1) Roll the Garlic Butter in a bit of film and place in the freezer until solid.
(2) Cut a pouch in the Chicken Breast.
(3) Mix the Seaweed into the Garlic Butter and pop in the freezer to harden.
(4) Cut a piece of the Garlic Butter and stuff into the pouch in the breast.
(5) Wrap each breast in Bacon.
(6) Rub the outer of the Bacon with more Garlic Butter.
(7) Oil a tray and place in the pre-heated oven at 180C for about 30 minutes.
(8) Layer the Gruyère over the top of the Bacon.
(9) Place under the grill to melt and crisp the Cheese.

Baby Sweetcorn, Mange Tout, a bit of left-over home made Mooli Coleslaw and some hand cut chips – Sorted.

Wood Ear Stir-Fry

We have a friend who is very much a coastal forager and is now exploring the delights of Fungus foraging. There are a few fungi which are edible and really don’t have any toxic look-alikes. Wood Ears (Auricularia auricula-Judae) are one of these and a great starters foraged fungus. We had a donation yesterday and cobbled this stir-fry together to go with our Giant Toad In The Hole.


A cautionary note:- Wood Ears have a nasty habit of spitting quite dramatically when fried. Stand back! They also act as a flavour sponge, which is cool!

Ingredients:-

Sliced Wood Ears
Cavolo Nero, de-stemmed and sliced
Minced Ginger
Minced Garlic
Chiili Flakes
A Squeeze of Lemon juice
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Slice the Wood ears into strips.
(2) Add the Oil to a large frying pan or Wok.
(3) Fry and stir.
