First Roast of 2020

First Roast of 2020

We’re not overly keen of the white meat on a Turkey. But when a thigh and drummer are available I grab one. At £4.25 it’s considerable better value weight for weight than a Chicken as we often get 6 servings out of it. On Wednesday we did the Turkey Rissoles, yesterday we had a roast with the thigh. We still have leftovers which will probably make the foundation for a Pasta or Curry dish this evening.

Turkey leg meat doesn’t have a particularly strong flavour so it can be treated like all sorts of other meats. On this occasion Sue might well have been pretending that it was Lamb!

Ingredients:-

1 Turkey Thigh
2 sprigs of fresh Rosemary ( Acquired from the local bush )
4 Cloves of Garlic, halved
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Rub the the thigh with Oil and season well.
(2) Pierce with a knife and push the Garlic into the meat.
(3) Oil a baking tray.
(4) Place the sprig of Rosemary in the tray and sit the Turkey on top.
(5) Cover with foil and place in the oven at 180c for an hour or so.

We enjoyed ours with Gluten free Yorkshire puddings, Roast Potatoes, plenty of Vegetables and home made Gravy. Superb!

Dulse Aloo

OK - OK probably not in the slightest bit authentic, but do we care? No. This is a sort of Sag Aloo with the Spinach replaced by dried and rehydrated Dulse (Seaweed).

Ingredients:-
Ingredients:-
1 Small hot Chilli deseeded and cut into disks
4 New Potatoes, pealed and quartered
Dried Dulse, rehydrated in a little water
Smoked Paprika
Tomato Puree
Oil

Method:-

(1) Boil the Potatoes for about 6 minutes until they are just starting to soften but not too soft.
(2) Drain and set aside.
(3) Add Oil to a pan and fry the Chillies for a few minutes over a moderate heat.
(4) Turn the heat down and add a little water to the pan.
(5) Add the Paprika and Tomato Puree and simmer for a couple of minutes so everything is mixed.
(6) Add the Potatoes and stir gently so they are coated in the Chilli Oil to colour them slightly.
(7) Add the drained Dulse and stir everything. The Dulse will absorb the remaining liquid.

We served this as a side with a Chicken Balti over Turmeric Rice.
