A sort of Carbonara thing

A sort of Carbonara thing, eat well on universal credit

We’re avoiding Lactose at the moment as it’s causing Sue issues. So this recipe is far from traditional. But it was really tasty.

Ingredients:-

475g of Inner Breast fillets, cut in half
1 Small Onion,diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
200ml of Chicken Stock
3 Tbsp of Yogurt
5 Mushrooms, sliced
A handfull of Spinach Leaves
A dish of White Wine
Salt & Pepper
2 Tbsp of Italian style Crated Hard Cheese
Fresh Parsley to garnish
Bacon & Cheese seasoning to garnish
Pasta of your choice (Gluten free for us)
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onion and Garlic until softened.
(2) Add the Chicken and fry until it is cooked through, stirring as required.
(3) Add the Mushrooms and Spinach, season with Salt & Pepper.
(4) Boil the Pasta until it still has a little bite, drain and set aside.
(5) Add the Wine & Stock and allow to simmer.
(6) Stir in the Yogurt and half of the grated hard Cheese.
(7) Allow to simmer for a few more minutes.
(8) Stir in the Pasta over a low heat, until it is heated through.
(9) Garnish with the remaining grated hard Cheese, Parsley and Cheese & Bacon Seasoning.

We generally make our own seasoning mixes but the Cheese & Bacon seasoning was really good. The taste of Bacon in a jar!

Fish & Chips recipe, eat well on universal credit

Fish & Chips was once an inexpensive treat to eat in the evening as supper, or maybe on the way home from the pub. Pubs? You remember those, maybe?

I passed a chippy last week in an area of York where I’d not expect prices to be excessive. £7.20 for Fish and Chips to take out. Just Fish & Chips, nothing else……

You can do better at home folks at half the price…..

This Pollock fillet was £3.29 with a Yellow Sticker on it. It was skinned and I only found two small bones.

Ingredients for the Gluten free Batter:-

2 Eggs, whisked
Cornflour
Turmeric Just a bit to add some colour
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Fresh ground Black Pepper
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Coat the Fish (and Onion rings if you adding them) in Cornflour.
(2) Preheat the fryer to 170c.
(3) Dunk in the batter mix and fry until they float.

We served ours with Peas, Onion Rings, hand cut Chips, Tartar Sauce and a slice of Lemon. Honestly this was much better than a take-out and cost less than half the price.
