Garlic Sour Dough Bread

Garlic Sour Dough Bread

Shop bought sliced Gluten free bread is OK for some things but really not great for others. That why we often make our own bread.

There is a network of Food Banks and ‘Pay as you feel’ cafes in our part of York.We have a friend who spends a great deal of his time collecting and distributing ‘End of life’ food.  Unfortunately some of this can’t be given away and ultimately he composts what he can’t get rid of. He gave us a Warburtons Gluten free Sour Dough Cob a few weeks ago. This was the equivalent gift value as giving Sue a Gold ingot - She cuddled it like a baby.

So it was frozen intact and we saw slices off it when we have something in mind which calls for good bread.

Ingredients:-

Sour Dough Bread, sliced thickly
Margarine
Garlic (Lacto-fermented in our case), minced
Fresh Parsleys (From our balcony), finely chopped
Mixed Herbs

Method:-

(1) Mix everything in an old Margarine tub. Sue makes the Garlic ‘Butter’ in batches which keep well in the fridge.
(2) Spread the Garlic ‘Butter’ generously on both sides of the sliced Bread.
(3) Pop in a sandwich toaster, or in a griddle pan and cook until browned evenly.

A great side to go with Pasta Bolognese. The Mince was on special in a 500g pack, so we have a second helping each for this evening which we’ll serve with Potato wedges and Tortilla chips.

Pea Risotto

When I was last in Manchester working I bought some Sticky Rice from a Chinese supermarket. It is very “Sticky”! But idea for a Risotto.

Ingredients:-

1 Onion finely chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
Frozen Peas
Chicken Stock
Risotto or Sticky Rice
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) In a large pan, add the onion and gently sweat for about 10 mins until really soft.
(2) Add the Garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes on a low heat.
(3) Stir the Rice into the pan, increase heat to medium and sizzle the rice for 1 min.
(4) Add the Stock a little at a time and stirring continuously until the rice is tender and has a good creamy consistency.
(5) Add the Peas and season to taste stirring the peas in well.

We served these with marinated Pork ribs and home made Coleslaw.
