Sprouts and Hazelnuts

Sprouts and Hazelnuts

Sprouts with Bacon and Chestnuts is a bit of a Christmas classic. But we have no Chestnuts and it’s not Christmas yet. But we do have lots of foraged Hazelnuts. So….

Ingredients:-

Hazelnuts – Roasted and chopped
Sprouts, chopped
Olive Oil
Red Onion, sliced
Whole Grain Mustard
Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper

Method:-

(1) Roast the Hazelnuts on a tray at 180C for 10 minutes. This also cracks the shells and makes them much easier to remove. Set aside.
(2) Gently fry half of the Onion in a little Olive Oil with the Mustard.
(3) Half the Sprouts and added uncooked Onion.
(4) Mix the Nuts, Sprouts Onion etc. and then place on a tray and place in the oven alongside your roast.
(5) When ready to serve drizzle with the Lemon Juice and stir well.

You could use this for a Vegetarian or Vegan side dish.

Calamari Risotto Style recipe

The Squid rings were part of a 3 for £5 deal, so cost us £1.67 for the pack. So Sue cobbled this recipe together with ingredients we had in.

Ingredients:-

Squid rings
2 Small Onions diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of Oregano
1 Cup of Rice
1 ½ Cup of Fish Stock
Dried Parsley & Basil
1 Squeeze of Lemon Juice
1 Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
A Glug of Fish Sauce
Frozen Peas
A Glug of Soy Sauce
1 Tsp of Ginger, minced
1 Tsp of Brown Sugar
Fresh Parsley
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Gently fry the Squid rings for 3 minutes turning regularly.
(2) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Remove from the pan and set aside, reserving the cooking juices.
(4) Add a little extra Oil to the pan and fry the Onion until translucent.
(5) Rinse the Rice in cold water and drain.
(6) Add to the Onions and stir for a few minutes.
(7) Add the reserved Squid juices and Fish Stock.
(8) Heat until simmering.
(9) Add the Garlic, Oregano, Basil, Cayenne Pepper, Soy Sauce, Ginger and Brown Sugar.
(10) Keep stirring gently until the liquid is absorbed.
(11) Add more water if required until the Rice is tender and a little sticky.
(12) Add the frozen Peas and stir in.
(13) Dress with chopped Parsley and a good squeeze of Lemon Juice.

This was remarkably tasty and the Squid was really tender.
