Kale 2 ways

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.

Fish & Chips recipe, eat well on universal credit

Fish & Chips was once an inexpensive treat to eat in the evening as supper, or maybe on the way home from the pub. Pubs? You remember those, maybe?

I passed a chippy last week in an area of York where I’d not expect prices to be excessive. £7.20 for Fish and Chips to take out. Just Fish & Chips, nothing else……

You can do better at home folks at half the price…..

This Pollock fillet was £3.29 with a Yellow Sticker on it. It was skinned and I only found two small bones.

Ingredients for the Gluten free Batter:-

2 Eggs, whisked
Cornflour
Turmeric Just a bit to add some colour
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Fresh ground Black Pepper
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Coat the Fish (and Onion rings if you adding them) in Cornflour.
(2) Preheat the fryer to 170c.
(3) Dunk in the batter mix and fry until they float.

We served ours with Peas, Onion Rings, hand cut Chips, Tartar Sauce and a slice of Lemon. Honestly this was much better than a take-out and cost less than half the price.
