Lovage stuffed Turkey thigh with a Bean Crispy Coating

Lovage stuffed Turkey thigh with a Bean Crispy Coating

Lovage seems to have had it’s hay-day as a herb in England in the Middle Ages. It’s something you sometimes see dried in continental shops but doesn’t feature heavily in British recipes. It’s growing in one of the local community beds and was going to seed - So we dead headed it and used the tops to stuff a Turkey thigh. This was a surprisingly tasty dish which I’m sure we will repeat….

Ingredients:-

Rosecoco Beans
Stale bread (Home made Gluten free ciabatta in our case)
½ a Turkey thigh with the skin on but the bone removed
1 Egg
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Soak about 50g of Rosecoco Beans overnight.
(2) Drain your Beans and bring them to the boil in fresh salted water. Then simmer for 30 minutes and set aside.
(3) Add a little Oil and Salt to your Beans and roast for 30 minutes until they burst open.
(4) Remove the Beans from the oven and allow to cool.
(5) Turn the Turkey thigh meat side up and cut a pocket into the meat.
(6) Chop your fresh Lovage roughly and stuff into the pocket.
(7) Add the Roasted Beans, Bread, Salt and Pepper to a food processor and wuzz up so that you have a Bread crumb texture.
(8) Beat the Egg in a bowl and then brush over the entire skin side of the Turkey.
(9) Place the Turkey in an oven tray and sprinkle the coating over. Press into the Egg wash with your hands so that you have an even coating.
(10) Place in a pre-heated oven at 180c uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes until the coating is golden brown the the Turkey runs clear when stabbed with a skewer.

We served ours as a “Not Sunday” roast with Yorkshire Puddings, home made stuffing balls, roast potatoes, crispy fried Kale and lots of Gravy.

Tokneneng recipe eat well on universal credit

‘T’ In our Vegetarian Alphabet goes to the Philippines. Nice one guys with the battered Egg as a street food. However we thought we’d make it just a little bit more messy with a runny yolk!

Ingredients:-

Eggs to boil!
2 Eggs, whisked for the batter
Cornflour
Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
Turmeric
Hot Chilli Powder
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Heat a pan of water to boiling.
(2) Use a slotted spoon to lower the Eggs into the water and allow to boil for 6 minutes.
(3) Lift the Eggs from the pan and swap the water for cold.
(4) Pop the Eggs back in the cold water and set aside.
(5) Add Cornflour to a bowl to coat the Eggs.
(6) Heat a fryer to 160c.
(7) Mix the Eggs, Cornflour,Plain Flour, Turmeric,Chilli Powder, Onion & Garlic salt – with enough Soda water to make a really sticky batter.
(8) Shell the Eggs very carefully and roll in the Cornflour.
(9) Coat in batter and lower into hot oil at 170c making sure they don’t stick to the bottom.
(10) Once they are browned and floating lift out and drain on kitchen paper.

These are clearly ‘Street Food’ and not intended as a main meal. But they are really good as a side with a dip and salad.
