Lime and Coriander Duck Breasts

Lime and Coriander Duck Breasts recipe, eat well on universal credit

Sounds a bit posh? Well there are some interesting changes in food prices at the moment. There was a ‘More Card’ offer at Morrisons last week. So 2 Duck Breasts were £2, whereas 2 Chicken Breasts were £5.29! We used to be able to buy 2 whole Chickens for less than a fiver….. So Duck it was and not only was it in budget, it was very tasty.

Ingredients:-

2 Duck Breasts
A Bunch of Coriander, chopped. Reserve some to garnish
4 Bay Leaves, blitzed
The Zest of a lime plus its juice
1 Red Chilli, chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
½ Tsp of Caster Sugar
Lime wedges to garnish
Spring Onions, chopped, to garnish
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Combine the Coriander, Bay Leaves, Chilli, Garlic, Soy Sauce, Caster Sugar and the Zest of the Lime in a bowl.
(2) Score the Duck skin and coat in the marinade.
(3) Season with Salt & Pepper and place in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours covered.
(4) All a little Oil to a frying pan over a medium heat.
(5) Scrap off the excess marinade and return to the bowl.
(6) Add the Duck to the pan and sear on both sides for 2 minutes.
(7) Remove and keep warm.
(8) Add the remaining marinade to the pan with a little water if needed.
(9) Bring to a simmer and then return the Duck Breasts.
(10) Stir to coat the Duck in the marinade.

We served ours over Saffron Rice with a side of Pak Choi, garnished with Spring Onions, chopped Coriander and Lime Wedges.

Bread Machine Gluten Free Bread recipe, eat well on universal credit

We just followed the basic GF recipe for our first loaf. But we can both confirm:-

(1) This actually tastes as good as ‘Real’ Bread.
(2) It is outstanding a fried Bread on a full English Breakfast.

Ingredients:-

180g of Water
30g of Olive Oil
5g of Cider Vinegar
15g of Egg Whites
8g of Salt
30g of Sugar
300g of Gluten Free Bread Flour Mix
2g of Baking Powder
7g of Yeast

In our Bread Maker it’s setting ‘9’, clearly this will depend on the machine. Although these machines still clearly use the Chorleywood bread process, this loaf was a near to a Gluten containing loaf from a bakery as we’ve had in the last 5 years. It makes the grey flavourless sliced version from the supermarkets seem a shameful waste of money.

On another note. The machine should have been £99.95 but was reduced to £60. Which we felt was a pretty good price. However there was a pricing error and it actually only cost £40. We’re on our second loaf as I type. Our new toy will have paid it’s way in less than a month at this rate!!!!
