Sweet & Sour Chicken

I made a shopping error. Sue fancied some Grapefruit Juice but idiot boy here came back with Pineapple Juice, which neither of us like. But all is not lost!

Ingredients for the battered Chicken:-

2 Chicken breasts, cut into cubes
250g of Cornflour
50g Self raising Flour ( Gluten free in our case )
Chilli flakes
Turmeric
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Sparling Water

Method:-

(1) Mix the dry ingredients and dredge the Chicken breast meat.
(2) Add sufficient Sprinkling Water to make a in batter.
(3) Heat the fryer to 170c.
(4) Fry in small batches until they float and are golden brown. If you have a probe you are looking for 76c in the middle, but not much more.
(5) Drain on kitchen paper.

Ingredients for the Sweet & Sour Sauce:-

1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Red Pepper, chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, grated
Tomato Ketchup
Vinegar (We used Malt & Spirit)
Pineapple Juice
4 Spring Onions, sliced
Chilli Flakes
Cayenne Pepper
Soy Sauce
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) In a large pan or Wok fry the Onions and then add the Garlic with the dry seasonings.
(2) Add The Red Pepper.
(3) Add the Soy Sauce, Tomato Ketchup and Vinegar.
(4) Simmer and add the Pineapple juice.
(5) Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to reduce.
(6) Add the Spring Onions are stir in.

We served this on a bed of Turmeric Rice with a few Spring Onion Tops sliced as a garnish.

Susan Rimington is a long standing Chef with 30+ years of experience in hotel, restaurant and public house kitchens. Experience which became essential when due to no fault of our own we found ourselves homeless and living on Universal Credit.

Tony Carson is a Web Designer with 15+ years of experience and a passion for promoting the hospitality sector.

In 2017 after two disastrous contracts in a restaurant followed by a public house both with tied accommodation. We found ourselves in a homeless hostel with very few possessions and ever less money. As our situation worsened we found ways to feed ourselves on a very restricted budget which resulted in this collection of recipes. We hope you enjoy them and find them useful.

Having spent nearly 10 months either in a hostel or in a tent we are probably better equipped than the TV chefs to offer you our low cost recipes. We've been there and done it, as it were! These recipes initially only required a (camp) stove, a couple of pans, a frying pan, maybe an oven and a limited number of ingredients. As we're slowly worked our way out of the bad situation we found ourselves in we've added both gadgets and ingredients to our kitchen arsenel.

We worked on and still are working on a budget of £4 to feed 2 people Smooh the Cat and sometimes scraps for the urban Foxes!

We hope you find these recipes fun, interesting, tasty and useful. They are all also Gluten Free as Sue has Coeliac Disease but normal pasta etc. will cost you less.

Feel free to use them, share them, print them, most or all enjoy them.

We hope they will be of assistance to those on Universal Credit, our Homeless friends, Students, those on a limited income or anybody looking for a little inspiration.
