I carted a discount isle Chicken back from Darlington with me the other day. It wasn’t actually any cheaper than the local discount isle Chickens – But it was exotic in it’s own way, in my strange mind!
We’re also at “J” in our Ingredients Alphabet and Jerk Chicken fits nicely!
Ingredients:-
Chicken, roughly cut into joints / portions
Spring Onions, chopped
Ginger, a thumb sized bit grated
2 cloves of Garlic, grated
1 medium Onion, sliced
3 small hot hot Chillies, sliced
Chilli flakes
Thyme
Juice of a Lemon
Soy Sauce
Oil
Sugar
All Spice
Salt & Pepper
Method:-
(1) In a blender blitz all the ingredients – Not the Chicken!
(2) Marinade the Chicken portions for 30 minutes or more.
(3) Roast at 180C for 40 minutes or into tender.
We served ours on a bed of Rice and Peas with a hot Chilli sauce on the top and the greens from the Spring Onions.
When I worked at the butchers many moons ago Pork Loin was the most costly cut. So when the local supermarket have a whole loin at £219, well it would be rude not to really....
Ingredients:-
Complete Pork Loin
Garlic Butter ( Sue make her own Garlic Margarine with Parsley)
Fresh Rosemary ( It's seasonal and there a while hedge of it down the road)
Chilli flakes
Salt & Pepper
Method:-
(1) Lay a good sized sheet of kitchen foil in a roasting try.
(2) Rub the outside of the loin with Garlic Butter, Rosemary, Chilli flakes and season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Fold the foil over and seal the meat in a pouch.
(4) Roast at 160c for about 30 minutes until cooked. Don't over cook as the meat will dry out.
We served ours with seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding and lots of gravy.
