Pastrogi & Special Fried Rice

Pastrogi & Special Fried Rice

 

What do the get if you create a fusion between a classic Polish dish, a classic Cornish dish and a classic Anglicised Chinese dish? Pastrogi with special fried rice obviously! For those don’t have the same sort of mental health issues as us that is a crossed between a Pasty and a Pierogi!

As far as we know this is a first – An invention – An innovation – A monstrosity…. Take you pick!

We didn’t really weigh the ingredients as such. For the pastry you are looking for a workably sticky dough consistency, add a little extra Gram flour if the dough feels too wet or a little extra milk if it feels too dry.

It’s also a while since we did an “Ingredients Alphabet” recipe. So this is “D” for Dill.

Ingredients for the filling:-

Pork mince
Soy Sauce
Salt & Pepper
Dried Dill
Chilli flakes
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt

Ingredients for the pastry:-

1 Egg
Milk
Plain (Gluten free in our case) flour (¾ of the flour content)
Gram flour (¼ of the flour content)
Salt & Pepper
½ tsp Xanthum Gum
1 tsp Dried Dill

Method:-

(1) Mix the filling ingredients and set aside.
(2) Mix the pastry ingredients and adjust the consistency so that you have a workable dough.
(3) Roll the pastry on a floured surface and cut out circles about 6cm across.
(4) add filling to each Pastrogi close to form a mini Pasty shaped parcel and use a little Milk to seal the join.
(5) Shallow fry to brown all sides.
(6) Place in a preheated oven at 180C for 20 minutes.

We had a DIY special fried Rice with ours. But the Pastrogi would work equally well cold for a pack-up or cold tea.

Pork Liver Curry & Courgette Bhajis

A 19p pack of Pork Liver was hidden at the back of the discount fridge this time. So an 80p jar of Jalfrazi sauce and a pack of Poppadoms and Curry night was well under way. I’m pretty sure nobody needs instructions on frying a bit of Liver with flour and Onions then adding to the sauce!

But for a bit of fun we made Courgette Bhajis as we had a Courgette which was a bit bashed about. They were actually quite tasty!

Ingredients:-

Gram Flour
Garlic Salt
Chilli flakes
Turmeric
Juice of ½ a Lemon
Water
1 Courgette
Baking Powder
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Slice the Courgette into 1cm sections and marinate in the Lemon juice, Salt and Pepper
(2) Mix the other ingredients with enough water to make a stiff batter and allow to stand until the Baking Power makes in increase in volume by about a third.
(3) Stir again and heat some oil to 180C.
(4) Coat each slice of Courgette and fry in batches until golden brown on both sides.
(5) Drain on kitchen paper and serve with your curry.
