Asian style Devilled Lime & Ginger Kidney

Asian style Devilled Lime & Ginger Kidney

OK so Pork Kidney is not traditional for this dish, but they were ‘Yellow Sticker’ at 62p. The Mushrooms were also ‘Yellow Sticker’ at 32p, so all in all this recipe was well under budget and if I do say it myself, Restaurant quality….

Ingredients:-

400g of Pork Kidney, cut into small pieces
4 Mushrooms, finely diced
2 Shallots, finely diced
2 Clove of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of fresh Ginger, minced
1 Tsp of dried Oregano
1 Tsp of dried Thyme
60ml of water
15ml of Greek style Yogurt
The juice of 1 Lime
1 Tsp of Lime zest
1 Tbsp of Cornflour
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Cut and rinse the Kidneys.
(2) Coat in Cornflour and set aside covered.
(3) In a frying pan with a little Oil saute the Onions, Garlic, Mushrooms, Ginger, Oregano, Thyme, with a seasoning of Salt and Pepper until the Onion is translucent.
(4) Remove this mixture and cover.
(5) In the same pan add the cut Kidneys and saute until the juices run clear.
(6) Remove from the pan and set aside.
(7) Add the Onion mixture back to the pan and stir in the Greek Yogurt, Lime Juice & Zest and stir well.
(8) Continue to stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.
(9) Add everything back to the pan and stir to combine until heated through.

We’d been joking about an All Day Breakfast, so we served ours with Tokneneng  and crispy bacon, with a Pea shoot garnish over a ramekin of boiled Rice. Looks dreadfully fancy, but cost us very little!

Rabbit Casserole recipe, eat well on universal credit

Although we often resort of using the supermarkets it's probably not the best move, budget wise. Shop locally is a well know phrase. I was in the middle of York on Monday and bought enough veg for the week and a fresh Rabbit for less than £8. Even if it had been the supermarket “Wonky” veg it would have been considerably more than this and they certainly don't have fresh local Rabbit available. Another bonus is that the Veg from the market is notably fresher, we can't buy root veg in advance from the supermarket, a draw full of Carrot slime is wasteful and really not nice.....
 
So you've got a fresh Rabbit, an ex-butcher, a chef and a shed load of vegetables. What do you make?
 
It had to be Rabbit Casserole really!
 
Ingredients:-
 
1 small Rabbit cut into pieces. (There are three obvious “Joints” on a Rabbit, front, loin and rear. But you can use kitchen scissors to cut these front to back to make the Rabbit fit into the pot if you wish.)
1 Onion, sliced
1 Carrot cut into large batons
2 Potatoes, cubed
An equal amount of Swede as Potato, cubed
1 Pint of Stock with added Cornflour
A slug of Fish Sauce
A slug of Worcester Sauce
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Chilli flakes
Salt & Pepper
Rosemary
Basil
Mushrooms, quartered
Oil
 
Method:-
 
(1) Coat the Rabbit in a little Oil and season with Salt, herbs and spices.
(2) In the slow cooker (or casserole dish if you are using the oven) layer the Potatoes and vegetables then add the Rabbit.
(3) Pour over the Stock.
(4) Allow to simmer gently for 4+ hours.
(5) Add the Mushrooms after about 3 hours and season to taste.
 
We had home made Onion and Beetroot Bhajis with ours and dressed the casserole with fried Beetroot tops to add a bit of colour.
