First Roast of 2020

First Roast of 2020

We’re not overly keen of the white meat on a Turkey. But when a thigh and drummer are available I grab one. At £4.25 it’s considerable better value weight for weight than a Chicken as we often get 6 servings out of it. On Wednesday we did the Turkey Rissoles, yesterday we had a roast with the thigh. We still have leftovers which will probably make the foundation for a Pasta or Curry dish this evening.

Turkey leg meat doesn’t have a particularly strong flavour so it can be treated like all sorts of other meats. On this occasion Sue might well have been pretending that it was Lamb!

Ingredients:-

1 Turkey Thigh
2 sprigs of fresh Rosemary ( Acquired from the local bush )
4 Cloves of Garlic, halved
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Rub the the thigh with Oil and season well.
(2) Pierce with a knife and push the Garlic into the meat.
(3) Oil a baking tray.
(4) Place the sprig of Rosemary in the tray and sit the Turkey on top.
(5) Cover with foil and place in the oven at 180c for an hour or so.

We enjoyed ours with Gluten free Yorkshire puddings, Roast Potatoes, plenty of Vegetables and home made Gravy. Superb!

BBQ Style Marinated Pork Ribs

Another way to get rid of the Pineapple Juice I bought in error.... Most bought BBQ sauces have Gluten in them and to be fair Sue’s not too keen on “Fake Smoked” flavours anyway. So She made her own version….

Ingredients:-

Pineapple Juice
Brown Sauce
Mustard Powder
Tomato Ketchup
Red Wine Vinegar
Lemon Juice
Soy Sauce
Ground Cloves
Ground Ginger
2 Cloves on Garlic, minced
Cayenne Pepper
Jerk Sauce
1 Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
Tomato Puree
1 Onion, roughly chopped
Oil

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onions in a little Oil and then add the Garlic and lower the heat.
(2) Sauté until the Onions are softened.
(3) Add all the other ingredients, stir well and simmer for 20 minutes.
(4) Stir occasionally.
(5) Allow to cool a little.
(6) Dress the Pork Ribs on both side and wrap loosely in foil and allow to marinade in the fridge for 20 minutes or longer.
(7) Pre-head the oven to 180c.
(8) Place the Rib parcel in the oven covered for the first 30 minutes.
(9) Open the parcel for the last 10 minutes.
(10) To serve remove the rack of Ribs and cut into handleable pieces and spoon the BBQ Sauce over the top.

We served ours with hand cut chips, a fried Egg, some Peas and a home-made Coleslaw.  Very tasty and we have a good deal of sauce bottled in the fridge for next time…..
