Fish ā€˜N’ Chips

Fish ā€˜N’ Chips

Back to a bit of a classic really. We don’t often have flaky Fish, in fact I think this is the first time in over four years. But we were kindly given some Cod and decided to do Cod, Chips Peas and DIY Tartar (Style) Sauce.

The Batter for the Fish was a variant of the Soda Water Tempura we’ve been tinkering with recently:-

Ingredients:-

Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Salt & Pepper
Ground Turmeric

The Turmeric doesn’t add a great deal to the taste, but it does give an appealing golden brown colour to the batter once it has been fried.

Sue’s Take on Tartar Sauce might not be traditional as such, but it really worked and we had the ingredients in the cupboard.

Ingredients:-

Mayonnaise
Whole grain Mustard
Gherkins, very finely chopped
Capers, finely sliced
Lemon Juice
Fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Mix it up.
(2) Dip things in it….

Quick, easy and very tasty. There’s not even a lot of washing up to deal with – Bonus!

Giant Yorkshire Pudding new recipe

Giant Yorkshire Puddings are a favourite here. A great way to fill up with inexpensive ingredients. But they do offer a bit of a challenged as Sue cannot have any Wheat / Gluten in here diet for medical reasons. So her recipe is always evolving. Jake from York Secret Helpers provided us with some Arrowroot from a commercial ingredients donation which they had received. Always good to try new recipe variations Sue created this. At first we though it was going to be a total failure. But it's just a slow starter! The results as you can see were pretty impressive. What you can't see in the picture is that the texture was considerably better than our previous recipe without the “Suggy bottom” Yorkshires sometimes have. In fact this is probably better than the traditional Wheat based recipe....
 
Ingredients:-
 
100g Arrowroot
40g Potato Flour
3 Eggs
140Ml Milk
Salt & Pepper to season
 
Method:-
 
(1) Mix the Arrowroot, Potato Flour, Eggs, Salt and Pepper and combine well.
(2) Place a deep sided oven tray with Oil in the over on 220C to heat until smoking hot.
(3) Add the Milk and give your batter a really good whisk.
(4) Pour the batter into the oven tray and cook on the middle shelf for 30minutes, until golden brown.
 
We have ours with a roast Chicken dinner with lots of vegetables and gravy with the roasting juices from the Chicken.
