Italian Style Vegetarian Pizza with a Yorkshire twist

Italian Style Vegetarian Pizza with a Yorkshire twist

We like to set ourselves little challenges and the latest is our “Vegetarian Alphabet”. We got to “I” without too much difficultly (Click here) but “I” proved to be a bit of a problem. Sue came up with Inka Berries which a a form of dehydrated Physalis and we had plans for a chutney. But due to Lock-Down we are very limited for places we can buy from locally and they turned out to be impossible to get without buying a large bag on-line, which kind of defeats the £4 and meal concept.

So back to an old favourite with a couple of twists. (1) We would normally have some form of meat on a Giant Yorkshire Pudding Pizza! (2) We actually made the Mozzarella by hand and it was very authentic taste wise.

Ingredients for the Giant Yorkshire Pudding Pizza Batter:-

40g Plain (Gluten free) Flour
80g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 Eggs
Salt & Pepper
Oil - for the tray

Method:-

(1) Heat a deep sided oven try in the oven to 220c with quite a bit of Oil
(2) Whisk the butter vigorously.
(3) Pour into the smoking hot tray and return to the oven as quickly as possible.
(4) Cook at 220c for 30 to 40 minutes until risen and golden brown.
(5) Remove, drain and allow to cool.
(6) Add Tomato based sauce to the bottom.
(7) Layer your sliced vegetables. We used Onions, Mushrooms and a Red Pepper.
(8) add lots of  Mozzarella and sprinkle with dried mixed Herb.
(9) Return to the oven until the Cheese has melted and slightly browned.

We dressed ours with a few pickled Chive heads and some fresh Parsley.

Duck Breast with Tamarind & Ginger Sauce recipe, eat well on universal credit

 

Two Duck Breasts for £1.38 seemed too good an offer to refuse. So Sue combined a few recipes and came up with this.

Ingredients:-

2 Duck Breasts
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Thumb of Ginger, grated
6 Tbsp of Tamarind Puree
2 Tbsp of Fish Sauce
100ml of Chicken Stock
2 Tbsp of Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp of Five Spice
4 Tbsp of Sugar
1 Tbsp of Thyme
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Score the fat on the Duck Breasts and season with Salt & Pepper, Five Spice and Thyme.
(2) Place the Breasts skin side down in a dry frying pan and fry for 8 minutes, until the fat has rendered and the skin is crispy.
(3) Turn over and seal the flesh side.
(4) Transfer to a pre-heated oven (Air Fryer in our case) at 160c and cook for a further 8 minutes.
(5) Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
(6) Add the Olive Oil to a frying pan on a medium heat.
(7) Fry the Garlic and Ginger stirring continuously.
(8) Add the Tamarind Puree, Oyster Sauce, Fish Sauce and Sugar.
(9) Cook and stir until the Sugar has dissolved.
(10) Stir in the Stock and season with Salt & Pepper.
(11) Slice the Breasts into 1cm slices and pour over the Sauce.

We served ours over a bed of Rice Noodles with stir-fry vegetables and garnished with Spring Onions and Sesame Seeds. Duck always goes well with citric flavours, but this was something else!
