Fish & Chips

Fish & Chips recipe, eat well on universal credit

I’m tagging this as a ‘Jewish Recipe’ because it is, so fight me!

“The UK tradition of eating fish battered and fried in oil was introduced to the country by Spanish and Portuguese Jewish immigrants, who spent time in the Netherlands before settling in the UK as early as the 16th century.” - From Wikipedia.

Our better recipe is a bit different as Gluten is a no-go here. So we've pottered with batter recipes until we found one we like.

Ingredients:-

2 Eggs, beaten and set aside
Cornflour, as much as you need. See method.
Salt (Kosher if you like) & Pepper, to season
2 Tsp of Turmeric (Cornflour batter looks dreadful without)
2 Tsp of Baking Powder
1 Tsp of Garlic Powder
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Heat a fryer to 160c.
(2) Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
(3) Dredge the fish in the dry mix and set aside.
(4) Add Soda Water and enough Cornflour to make a thin batter.
(5) Dunk the coated Fish in the Egg Wash.
(6) Dunk in the Batter mix and fry in batches.

Served with a few peas, Tartar sauce, a slice of Lemon etc. The price of Fish means this isn’t a cheap treat now. But it was gooooood!!!!

Leftovers Soup!


We have a confession to make…. We often cook far too many vegetables and also end up with bits of leftover meat. Most folk would throw these in the bin, but we’re a bit tight like that. So it all ends up in the freezer in boxes. But the freezer is not a bottomless pit.

So yesterday we had a “Soup Making Day” Nothing goes to waste here. I can’t give you exact ingredients for this soup but basically you’ll need the following.

Ingredients:-

Vegetables and meat leftovers from the freezer
2 Stock cubes
1 Wuzzer ( We got ours as a freebie via Amazon when we switched energy suppliers) – That’s a food processor to most folk.

Method:-

(1) Thaw everything you have stored in boxes.
(2) Boil 2 Stock cubes in 500ml of water.
(3) Blitz everything apart from the stock.
(4) Place in a large pan and add enough stock to make a reasonable soup liquidity.
(5) Bring to boil.
(6) If you are not going to eat today allow to cool and freeze in portions.

We have a few verbs and bits an bobs which we are growing in tubs on our balcony, so I dressed the soups up with those, a Gluten free cracker and a bit of grated Cheese. Looks good, tastes better!
