Kate 2 ways

We’re moving steadily forward with our Ingredients Alphabet gig. K? Well it’s Kale season, it would have been rude not to….

Kale with Onion and Bacon

Ingredients:-

Kale (Obviously!)
1 medium Onion sliced
3 rashers of streaky Bacon, chopped
Salt & Pepper
1 clove of Garlic, crushed
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Blanch the Kale for a couple of minutes.
(2) Add the Onion and Garlic to a frying pan and fry until the Onion is translucent.
(3) Add the Bacon and fry for a couple of minutes.
(4) Season with Salt and Pepper.
(5) Add the blanched Kale and stir well for a couple of minutes.

Crispy Kale

Ingredients:-

Kale, chopped

Method:-

(1) Blanch the Kale for a couple of minutes.
(2) Drain well.
(3) Pre-heat oil to 180C in a deep fat fryer or similar.
(4) Fry the Kale until crispy and drain well on kitchen paper.

Kale might be a bit of a primitive Brassica, but it has so much more flavour than the generic white Cabbage alternative.

Chinese style Turkey Balls recipe, eat well on universal credit

Yes we’ve another round of cooked Turkey to deal with. We all know that recooking Turkey creates a very distinctive and , to us, unpleasant flavour. I think we fixed this!

Marinate Ingredients:-

Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
Oyster Sauce
Tonkatsu Sauce (Gluten free for us)
Chilli Flakes

Batter Ingredients:-

2 Eggs
Soda Water
Gram Flour
Cornflour
1 Tsp of Turmeric
1 Tbsp of Baking Powder

Method:-

(1) Cut the cooked Turkey into Inch (2.2Cm) cubes. Not much smaller as you don’t want the meat to be tough or dry.
(2) Mix the marinade ingredients and add your Turkey cubes. We cut 10 cubes, so 5 each to serve.
(3) Pop in the fridge while you make the batter.
(4) Beat the Eggs.
(5) Add a little Soda Water.
(6) Whisk in the Baking Powder.
(7) Whisk in a 50/50 mix of Gram Flour & Cornflour in stages.

(9) Allow to rest for 20 minutes and remove the Turkey from the fridge.
(10) Heat oil to 170c.
(11) After whisking the batter dunk the coated the Turkey in the Batter and fry until they float. Remove and drain.
(12) When your stir-fry in ready to serve, drop back into the oil to brown.
(13) Drain and serve.

We served ours over a bed of Rice Noddles with a simple Stir-Fry over the top.
