Battered Shaggy Ink Caps

Battered Shaggy Ink Caps recipe, eat well on universal credit

Shaggy Ink Caps (Coprinus comatus) as a very safe beginners foraged Mushroom. There’s nothing which looks much like them which will do you any harm. However they have a very short shelf life and can be a bit slimy if you just throw them in a pan and fry them. But battered they were really good.

Ingredients:-

4 Tbsp of Gram Flour
5 Tbsps of Cornflour
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper to season
2 Tsps of Baking Powder
2 Tsps of Turmeric
1 TSp of Garlic Granules
1 Tsp of Onion Salt
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Cut the stalk off the Mushrooms.
(2) Keep 1 Tbsp of Cornflour aside.
(3) Mix the remaining ingredients to form a thick Batter.
(4) Damp the Mushrooms with a little Water and roll the in Cornflour.
(5) Coat with the Batter Mix.
(6) Deep fry at 160c until the Batter is crispy.
(7) Drain on kitchen paper.

We had ours as an addition to a Pork stir-fry with the Pork Loin strips coated in the same batter.

Brunost – DIY Norwegian Cheese

Sue’s Daughter bought her a Cheese making kit for Mothers Day. Little did we know then that we would have so much time on our hands at the moment. We’ve been beavering away at a few of the recipes, depending on the ingredients we've been able to get our hands on.

So Brunost? It’s an odd sort of Cheese recipe really, but it’s also very good. So good that we’ve just finished it all!

Basically the ingredients are 1L of full fat Milk, 1L Whey (Which we had from making the Romanian Bryndza Cheese), 400Ml of Double Cream, Salt and Chilli flakes. You simmer all the ingredients gently in a large pan for about 3 hours until most of the water has evaporated. Pack it into a Cheese mould and allow it to mature in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It ends up semi-hard but just spreadable.

The Pesto on the cracker is our home brewed Fennel Pesto
