Brunost – DIY Norwegian Cheese

Brunost – DIY Norwegian Cheese

Sue’s Daughter bought her a Cheese making kit for Mothers Day. Little did we know then that we would have so much time on our hands at the moment. We’ve been beavering away at a few of the recipes, depending on the ingredients we've been able to get our hands on.

So Brunost? It’s an odd sort of Cheese recipe really, but it’s also very good. So good that we’ve just finished it all!

Basically the ingredients are 1L of full fat Milk, 1L Whey (Which we had from making the Romanian Bryndza Cheese), 400Ml of Double Cream, Salt and Chilli flakes. You simmer all the ingredients gently in a large pan for about 3 hours until most of the water has evaporated. Pack it into a Cheese mould and allow it to mature in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It ends up semi-hard but just spreadable.

The Pesto on the cracker is our home brewed Fennel Pesto

Air Fryer Chicken Parmigiano Bake recipe, low cost home cooked meals

If we owned a trumpet we’d be making a dreadful racket at the moment. We’re calling this a total Air Fryer success!!!!

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts
Parma Ham to cover the Chicken
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Onion, finely chopped
2 Clove of Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp of  Tomato Puree
500g of Passata
100ml of Chicken Stock
¼ Tsp of Sugar
125g of Mozzerella Ball, torn into pieces
40g of Grated Italian Style Cheese
1 Tsp of Mixed Herbs
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Season the Chicken with Salt and Pepper and wrap in Parma Ham length ways.
(2) Place the Breasts on a rack over Parchment paper and cook at 180c for 20 minutes in the Air Fryer.
(3) In a frying pan with a little Oil fry the Onions until softened.
(4) Add the Garlic and Tomato Puree & cook for a further minute or so.
(5) Pour in the Passata and Stock, season with Salt & Pepper.
(6) Add the Sugar and bring to the boil.
(7) Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
(8) Pour half of the sauce into a roasting tin and place the Chicken on top.
(9) Cover with the remaining sauce.
(10) Arrange the Mozzerella on top and sprinkle over the Italian Style Grated Cheese & Mixed Herbs.
(11) Allow to rest for 5 minutes and then return to the Air Fryer for a further 8 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the Cheese has melted.

We have quite a bit of sauce in a tub in the fridge which we’ll use up today. The quantity of sauce would suit 4 Chicken Breasts. But, well you know there’s only the two of us…..
