Welsh Whole Chicken Stew (Ffowlin Cymreig)

Welsh Whole Chicken Stew (Ffowlin Cymreig) recipe, eat well on universal credit

This was a really hearty dish. There was sufficient Chicken left for us to make three large Pasties. The remaining broth made several bowls of Soup. I would say this would easily feed 4 hungry folk.

Ingredients:-

A Medium Chicken
6 Rashers of Bacon chopped
2 Leeks, thickly sliced
2 Large Carrots, thickly chopped
2 Tbsp of Cornflour to thicken
½ a Small White Cabbage, coarsely shredded
500ml of Chicken Stock
1 Tsp of Mixed Herbs
Salt & Pepper to season
Chopped Parsley

Method:-

(1) Rub about 1/2 teaspoon Salt in body cavity.
(2) Dice the Bacon and fry until crisp and brown in a Dutch oven. Remove and set aside.
(3) Brown the Chicken in the Bacon fat on all sides. Remove Chicken from pan.
(4) Add the Leeks and return the Bacon bits along with diced Carrots.
(5) Cook until lightly browned.
(6) Add the Chicken Stock.
(7) Mix the Cornflour with a little water and stir in.
(8) Add coarsely chopped Cabbage and season with Salt & Pepper.
(9) Stir to mix thoroughly until the Cabbage is slightly wilted.
(10) Heat, stirring frequently, until simmering.
(11) Add the chopped Parsley and Mixed Herbs.
(12) When the stew is simmering gently return the Chicken.
(13) Cover and simmer very slowly until chicken is very tender.
(14) Roughly cut the Chicken into chunks.
(14) Garnish with Chopped Parsley and serve in large bowls with crusty Bread.

The Chicken was remarkably tender and really tasty. Well worth the slightly longer than usual cooking process.

Air Fryer Frittata recipe, eat well on universal credit

When we were in a really bad situation about 4 years ago I cobbled a Frittata together on the camp stove. It tasted outstanding, but that Might have been because we were really hungry and the Eggs were found and a lot of the ingredients were foraged. It’s good to go back to an old favourite with a a new cooking gadget….

Ingredients:-

3 Potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
1 Onion, finely diced
¼ Of a Red Pepper, sliced
¼ Of a Green Pepper, sliced
¼ Of a Yellow Pepper, sliced
1 Spring Onion, sliced
¼ Of a stick of Chorizo, thinly sliced
3 Rashers of Streaky Bacon, chopped
Smoky Maple Bacon Seasoning (!)
4 Eggs, beaten
200g of (Lactose free for us) Cheese, grated
A Slug of Milk (Lactose free again for us)
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season
Mixed Herbs

Method:-

(1) Par-Boil the Potatoes to soften slightly.
(2) Drain and set aside.
(3) Fry the vegetables and then add the Chorizo and Bacon.
(4) Mix the Eggs, Milk and Cheese in a bowl.
(5) Season the meats and vegetable mix and set aside to cool.
(6) Heat the Air Fryer to 180c to 190c.
(7) Mix everything in a large bowl.
(8) Line a perforated circular baking tray with cooking Parchment paper.
(9) Pour everything into the tray and pop in the Air Fryer.
(10) Check and turn so it is cooked and solid throughout.
(11) Turn out and separate from the Parchment to serve.

 As is the gig with Air Fryers this was all about preparation and timing. However the end result was really tasty and certainly filling.
