This believe it or not, should have been a Frittata. But we had one the last time we had lots of Eggs which were short dated. So the idea mutated from Frittata, through conventional savoury Pancakes to this monster!
Gluten free Pancakes are a bit tricky to flip, but this recipe works well and will make 10 fluffy Pancakes. You can halve or quarter the quantities as required.
Ingredients:-
400g Plain White Flour, Gluten free for us
4 eggs
1L of Almond milk
2 Tsp of Baking Powder
2 Tsp of Salt
Oil, for the pan
Method:-
(1) Mix and whisk your batter.
(2) Heat a small frying pan with a little Oil. It’s best to use this batter as soon as you can as the Baking Powder is only active for a short time.
(3) Fry on both sides until golden brown and lay on baking parchment to separate.
(4) Cook your fillings. We used Onions, Mushrooms, Red Pepper, Ricotta, Crispy Bacon and Chorizo. But that’s up to you.
(5) In an oven proof dish layer your Pancakes with your filling between each one.
(6) Dress with Cheese and place in the over at 170c until the Cheese melts.
This was much better than the intended Frittata. But man it was filling! We’ll have the other half cold with some Salad tomorrow!
Yes we are out of sequence as theoretically it should be “K” next. But Pork Cheeks for £1.40? Can't really pass that up can we?
For those of you who don't like “Odd” cuts of meat this might be a bit challenging, But Cheeks are tender, have very little fat and take on flavours really well. So here goes....
Ingredients:-
2 tbsp Olive Oil for frying
1 large Onion finely chopped
500g of Pork cheeks
1 tbsp Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
3 Garlic cloves crushed
½ tsp ground Cumin
1 tsp Paprika
1 Cinnamon stick
1/2 cup dry red wine ( Very cheap little 1 serving bottle from the local shop £1.20 - I'll probably not drink it! But good for cooking )
2 cups Beef stock
Method:-
(1) Heat 1 - 2 tbsp Olive Oil in a large pan then add the onion.
(2) Cook gently for 10 – 15 minutes until softened and lighty coloured. Remove and set aside.
(3) Toss the cheeks in the seasoned flour. Add a little more oil to the pan and turn up the heat.
(4) Brown the Pork cheeks all over in batches, setting them aside when browned. Turn the heat down to medium.
(5) Return all the Pork and the onions to the pan. Add the Garlic, Cumin, Paprika, Cinnamon and cook for a minute.
(6) Pour in the wine. Deglaze the bottom on the pan.
(7) Pour in the Beef Stock then bring the pan to a simmer.
(8) Simmer gently for 2 hours or until the cheeks are tender.
We're thinking about serving on a bed of mashed Potatoes with veg. We shall see!
