Fish, Chips, Peas and Caper Sauce

Fish, Chips, Peas and Caper Sauce

OK it’s not quite conventional, but what exactly did you expect from us? Sue’s not a fan of flaky fish generally. But we’ve discovered that we are both very keen on Ray Wings. So when they appear with a Yellow Sticker, all is good!

Nobody needs a recipe for flouring and frying fish I hope? Chips? A but the sauce was something else!

Caper Sauce Ingredients:-

2 Spring Onion whites, finely chopped
½ Tsp of Crispy Cuttlefish and Chilli Paste
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tsp of Capers, slightly crushed
Juice of 1 & ½ Lemons
1 Tsp Dried Parsley
1 Tsp Dijon Mustard
Butter
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Gently fry the Spring Onions in Butter until translucent.
(2) Add the Garlic and fry gently for a couple more minutes.
(3) Reserve a little Butter and add the remaining ingredients except the Parsley.
(4) Simmer over a low heat for a couple of minutes.
(5) Stir in the remaining Butter and Parsley  and drizzle over the fish.

The Crispy Cuttlefish and Chilli Paste was an impulse buy from a Chinese Supermarket at (We seem to recall) £0.99 But it really packs a punch. We will be buying more when needed. But you only need ½ a teaspoon and this jar has lived in the fridge door for months now…...

Chickpea, Chilli and Cheese Bake

“C” in our Vegetarian Alphabet seems suitably covered with this recipe title!

As seems to be the case with these Vegetarian creations, we made far too much and will be having a second helping this evening. So a bonus cost and cooking free day sorted!

Method:-

(1) In a pan add the chopped Tomatoes, Chilli flakes, Tomato Puree, Sugar and mixed Herbs.

(3) Peal and roughly chop your Potatoes, Carrot, Pepper and Onion. Stand in water.
(4) Per boil your Potatoes.
(5) Add your Chickpeas and Turmeric to water in a pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Then drain.

(7) In a baking tray mix your vegetables and most of the Chickpeas, keep a handful back for a garnish.
(8) Place the tray in the oven for 20 minutes.
(9) Lightly fry most of the Cabbage leaves in a little Oil, keeping ¼ back for a garnish.
(10) After 20 minutes stir the Mushroom into your tray back, pour the Tomato Chilli sauce over and sprinkle with the grated Cheese.

(12) In a deep fat fryer fry the remaining Cabbage leave and Chickpeas until they are crispy.
(13) Form a circle of fried Cabbage leave from the frying pan on your plates.
(14) Spoon the Bake into this circle.
(15) Garnish with the deep fried Cabbage and Chickpeas.

We had a home made Garlic Bread as a side. Again for a pair of Omnivorous creatures this was a very tasty and filling meal.
