Sprouts and Hazelnuts

Sprouts and Hazelnuts

Sprouts with Bacon and Chestnuts is a bit of a Christmas classic. But we have no Chestnuts and it’s not Christmas yet. But we do have lots of foraged Hazelnuts. So….

Ingredients:-

Hazelnuts – Roasted and chopped
Sprouts, chopped
Olive Oil
Red Onion, sliced
Whole Grain Mustard
Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper

Method:-

(1) Roast the Hazelnuts on a tray at 180C for 10 minutes. This also cracks the shells and makes them much easier to remove. Set aside.
(2) Gently fry half of the Onion in a little Olive Oil with the Mustard.
(3) Half the Sprouts and added uncooked Onion.
(4) Mix the Nuts, Sprouts Onion etc. and then place on a tray and place in the oven alongside your roast.
(5) When ready to serve drizzle with the Lemon Juice and stir well.

You could use this for a Vegetarian or Vegan side dish.

Swordfish with fresh Ginger & Capers

Another Yellow Sticker gig and to be honest it was a budget breaker at £3 a steak. But we’ve had quite a few meals recently which were on budget and lasted two days. So…..

Ingredients:-

2 Swordfish Steaks
1 Tbsp of Fish Sauce
A squeeze of Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp of Capers
½ Tsp of Chilli Flakes
1 Thumb of fresh Ginger, minced (We grew of own and have miles of it!)
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
A Knob of Butter (Margarine we’ve not had real Butter in the place for quite some time….)
1 Tbsp of Fresh Parsley (Out Parsley plant is looking a bit skinheaded!)
½ Tbsp Lemon Zest
Salt & Pepper to season
Olive Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Marinade the Swordfish in the Olive Oil, Fish Sauce and Salt & Pepper for 20 minutes.
(2) Melt the Butter / Margarine in a frying pan.
(3) Add  all the other ingredient to a bowl and mix well.
(4) Fry the fish steaks for 2 minutes on one side.
(5) Place in a pre heated oven at 180c.
(6) Add the remaining ingredients to the melted Butter / Margarine and allow to simmer and reduce.
(7) Pour the reduced sauce over the Swordfish before serving.

We simply has New Potatoes, Corn and Broccoli with ours and it was a real treat!
