Ingredients Alphabet

Ingredients Alphabet

We did the “Around the world for £4 or less” a while ago. It’s time for another little foodie challenge. So  “Ingredients Alphabet” seems like a cool idea. We might need to use some American terminology, Zucchini for example. But we’ll see how it goes!

Slow roasted Pork shoulder with Aubergine, Chilli and Lemon.

Aubergine has the ability to soak up seeming five times it’s body weight in oil and Pork shoulder is naturally quick a fatty cut. So I though this combination might work….

Ingredients:-

1 Aubergine, sliced
Pork Shoulder
Potatoes, quartered
Dried Chillies
The juice of a Lemon
1 litre of Beef Stock
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil

Method:-

(1) Score the rind quite deeply and rub a little oil, Salt and Pepper into the cuts.
(2) Pour the stock into an oven proof deep sided trap or casserole and layer the Potatoes and then the sliced Aubergine in the bottom.
(3) Add the dried Chillies and pour the Lemon juice over the Aubergine slices.
(4) Lay the Pork shoulder over the top and place in a pre-heated oven at 200C.
(5) Allow 20 minutes for the crackling to crisp and then reduce the heat to 160C.
(6) Allow to braise slowly for several hours until the meat is very tender and shreds easily when you slide a fork into it.

We served ours with the outer leaves of a Cabbage fried in Chilli oil and boiled Carrots.

Surf and Turf Burger recipe, eat well on universal credit

This was actually far from planned. We had a bit of salad in the fridge and the return time for me from stripping a large LED Screen was unpredictable. So I bought some cheep Mince, Lactose free Cheese and some Gluten free Buns. That would have made a pretty good burger. But on my way back from Coppergate I popped my head in at Tesco. King Prawns were on offer…… The Surf and Turf Burger was born…..  

General ingredients:-

(Feel free to use whatever you have in!)

Bread Buns (Gluten free for us)
Onions, Diced
Cheese (Laclose free here), sliced
Salad (Peas Shoots and Radish here)
Tomatoes, sliced
Pickles, Gherkins worked well
Mayonnaise
Tomato Sauce
Minced Beef (500g of 20% Fat mince was £1.29)
King Prawns
Garlic Butter (Actually DIY Garlic Margarine for us)

Method:-

(1) Mix the Minced Beef with a little Salt & Pepper and form into large Burgers by hand.
(2) Cut the Buns in half and toast a little under the grill.
(3) Grill the Burgers until they are pretty close to 75c in the thickest area. Turning to brown on eat side.
(4) Add the Cheese to the top of the Burgers and grill until the Cheese melts.
(5) Lightly fry the Prawns in Garlic Butter and set aside.
(6) Dress the top and bottom inners of the buns with Mayo, Tomato Sauce Onion, Salad and sliced Tomato.
(7) Assemble the Burger. Go all ‘Free Style’ we did!

It might look a total mess, but this was one of the best ‘Random’ Gourmet Burgers we’ve ever thrown together. Day 2 of Wimbledon Tomorrow, so when I get back we might batter and deep fry some Strawberries…. Yes I’m Joking!
