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.

Kosher Chicken Kebabs recipe, eat well on universal credit

We’ve learned our lesson with these Jewish recipes. I’m not sure if something is lost in the translation, or if some of the recipe authors are maybe relying on know-how which is not familiar to us? Either way. If the recipe looks and feels wrong to us, it most probably won’t work. So we freestyled this a little……

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts, cut into cubes
4 slices of Preserved Lemon, DIY from last year for ours
3 Red Onions, quartered
1 Large Onion, chopped
3 large gloves of Garlic, chopped
1 tsp of Paprika
1 tsp of Cumin
Juice of a Lemon
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil to fry and for the marinade
Parsley to garnish

Method:-

(1) Mix the Oil, Chopped Onion, Garlic, Paprika, Cumin, Lemon Juice, Salt & Pepper, to make the Marinade.
(2) Add the cubed Chicken, mix well and pop in the fridge for at least an hour.
(3) If using wooden skewers, soak in water at this stage.
(4) Load the skewers with Chicken alternated with Red Onion and a slice of Preserved Lemon in the middle.
(5) Pour the remain Marinade into a saucepan and reduce over a low heat.
(6) Grill the skewers turning occasionally until the Chicken is cooked.
(7) Pour the reduced Marinade over the Skewers as a sauce.

We served ours with crispy Potato Wedges, Salad and home made Coleslaw.
