Chicken, Bacon and Cheese Pasta Bake

Chicken, Bacon and Cheese Pasta Bake

Gluten free Pasta is a bit odd and you really need to forget everything you knew about Pasta because it will not ‘Hold’ and it certainly doesn’t stand recooking. But this worked really well. This was the second meal from the discounted Chicken which cost £2.38.

Ingredients:-

3 Rashers of Bacon, finely chopped
½ a Cooked Chicken, cubed
60g of Grated Italian style Cheese
100g of Grated Cheddar Cheese
3 Tbsp Mayo
½ Tsp of Hot Sauce
1 Tsp of Dry Mustard Powder
½ Tsp of Ground Black Pepper
½ Tsp Garlic Powder
½ Tsp of Onion Powder
½ Tsp of Paprika
1 Onion, finely sliced
3 Mushrooms, finely sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
Macaroni (Gluten free of us)
100ml of Greek Yogurt
100ml of Milk
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onions, Bacon and Garlic in a little oil until the Onions have softened.
(2) Add the Mushrooms, then the Chicken and cook until the Chicken is thoroughly heated.
(3) In a separate pan add the Milk, Yoghurt and Mayo. Heat until it simmers and then add the other ingredients except the Macaroni and Cheese.
(4) Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
(5) Cook the Pasta and drain. Add to an oven proof casserole.
(6) Add the Onion and Bacon mixture to the sauce and stir in.
(7) Pour over the Macaroni then add the grated Cheese and Italian style Cheese.
(8) Place under the grill until the Cheese has melted and browned slightly.

We served our with Corn on the Cob and a few home grown Peas.

Ingredients Alphabet

We did the “Around the world for £4 or less” a while ago. It’s time for another little foodie challenge. So  “Ingredients Alphabet” seems like a cool idea. We might need to use some American terminology, Zucchini for example. But we’ll see how it goes!

Slow roasted Pork shoulder with Aubergine, Chilli and Lemon.

Aubergine has the ability to soak up seeming five times it’s body weight in oil and Pork shoulder is naturally quick a fatty cut. So I though this combination might work….

Ingredients:-

1 Aubergine, sliced
Pork Shoulder
Potatoes, quartered
Dried Chillies
The juice of a Lemon
1 litre of Beef Stock
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil

Method:-

(1) Score the rind quite deeply and rub a little oil, Salt and Pepper into the cuts.
(2) Pour the stock into an oven proof deep sided trap or casserole and layer the Potatoes and then the sliced Aubergine in the bottom.
(3) Add the dried Chillies and pour the Lemon juice over the Aubergine slices.
(4) Lay the Pork shoulder over the top and place in a pre-heated oven at 200C.
(5) Allow 20 minutes for the crackling to crisp and then reduce the heat to 160C.
(6) Allow to braise slowly for several hours until the meat is very tender and shreds easily when you slide a fork into it.

We served ours with the outer leaves of a Cabbage fried in Chilli oil and boiled Carrots.
