Gammon Hock in a giant Yorkshire Pudding

Gammon Hock in a giant Yorkshire Pudding

Discount fridge Gammon Hock. I’ve generally avoided Gammon until now as Sue’s generally not a great fan. But we both really enjoyed it after a good hearty boiling with a few fragrant herbs and spices. There was enough meat for 4 adult servings for us from one Hock at £1.12.

Ingredients:-

Gammon Hock
Onion, roughly sliced
Whole Black Pepper corns
Bay Leaves
Ground Cloves
Dill
A pint of Cider

Method:-

(1) In a large pan immerse the Hock in water and bring it to the boil for a few minutes.
(2) Pour the water away and rinse the Hock in cold water,
(3) Refill the pan and add the Hock and all the other ingredients. Top the pan up with water once you’ve added the Cider and bring back to the boil.
(4) Once boiling reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for 2 to 3 hours.
(5) When the meat is almost falling off the bone remove from the pan and allow to drain.
(6) Strip the meat as you would with pulled Pork.

You can use your “Pulled Gammon” as you wish. We added ours to a full dinner in a giant Yorkshire Pudding, because we’re a bit sad like that!

Air Fryer Frittata recipe, eat well on universal credit

When we were in a really bad situation about 4 years ago I cobbled a Frittata together on the camp stove. It tasted outstanding, but that Might have been because we were really hungry and the Eggs were found and a lot of the ingredients were foraged. It’s good to go back to an old favourite with a a new cooking gadget….

Ingredients:-

3 Potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
1 Onion, finely diced
¼ Of a Red Pepper, sliced
¼ Of a Green Pepper, sliced
¼ Of a Yellow Pepper, sliced
1 Spring Onion, sliced
¼ Of a stick of Chorizo, thinly sliced
3 Rashers of Streaky Bacon, chopped
Smoky Maple Bacon Seasoning (!)
4 Eggs, beaten
200g of (Lactose free for us) Cheese, grated
A Slug of Milk (Lactose free again for us)
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season
Mixed Herbs

Method:-

(1) Par-Boil the Potatoes to soften slightly.
(2) Drain and set aside.
(3) Fry the vegetables and then add the Chorizo and Bacon.
(4) Mix the Eggs, Milk and Cheese in a bowl.
(5) Season the meats and vegetable mix and set aside to cool.
(6) Heat the Air Fryer to 180c to 190c.
(7) Mix everything in a large bowl.
(8) Line a perforated circular baking tray with cooking Parchment paper.
(9) Pour everything into the tray and pop in the Air Fryer.
(10) Check and turn so it is cooked and solid throughout.
(11) Turn out and separate from the Parchment to serve.

 As is the gig with Air Fryers this was all about preparation and timing. However the end result was really tasty and certainly filling.
