When we made the Slow roast Pork Shank on Thursday we had about a pint of Stock and vegetable left over. Sue usually keeps any stock we have left over anyway, but this just had Soup written all over it. So with the addition of a few herbs from the Edible York planters ( http://www.edibleyork.org.uk ) we’ve just had a pretty tasty soup for a grand total of not a bean!
Ingredients for the previous Stock:-
1 Carrot
1 Onion
1 Potato
1 Bay leaf
A sprig of fresh Fennel Tops
1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
1 tbsp Coriander seeds
4 cloves of Garlic
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Additional herbs:-
A handful of mixed fresh herbs:-
Fennel Tops
Chives
Lovage
Parsley
Method:-
(1) Add the Stock and herbs to a blender and blitz.
(2) In a saucepan heat to a rolling simmer.
(3) add a little fresh ground Black Pepper to top to and a sprig of Parsley.
Everyone should have access to good food. No one should have to go to bed hungry.
This petition is a call on the UK Government to fix Universal Credit to prevent more people going hungry. We all rely on the welfare safety net being there for us in times of financial stress or hardship. But Universal Credit is currently failing in this task. In areas where Universal Credit has been rolled out, Food Banks and other food aid providers report a surge in the numbers of people pushed into greater debt, destitution and hunger as a result of delays, errors, a lack of flexibility and adequate support.
Sue and I are going to London to present this petition to No.10 Downing Street on the 7th of November 2018, by invitation of friends who probably prevented our death.
