Winter Veg

Winter Veg

We tend to get stuck in a loop with vegetables for some reason. Peas, Red Cabbage and spuds seem to have become our “Go-To” choice recently. So we thought we’d have a bit of a change yesterday. Although the Spuds are still there….

Because of the global supply network, be it a good or (more probably) bad thing the majority of regularly used vegetables are available all year round in the supermarkets and local retailers. But if you buy seasonal veg you will notice that they tend to be UK grown more often than not. This has to be a good thing surely?

So last nights veg was:-

Boiled Cabbage
Roast Parsnips
Roast Potatoes
Cauliflower

All UK grown and with a bit of slow roast Pork shoulder and home made gravy it was a meal your granny would have been proud of on a very cost effective budget.

Coeur de Porc battu recipe

Using a dodgy translation service to make something sound appealing. That’s a very old restaurant trick. But read on folks…..

We had quite a few stir-fry ingredients in as we made a stir-fry with the remaining Yellow Sticker Chicken the other day. But also loitering in the darker recesses of the freezer was a large pack of diced Pigs Heart, which cost us £1.24. Yes Pigs Heart! Well that my Vegan and Vegetarian friends gone then. Sorry….

Ingredients:-

Diced Pigs Heart
Milk
Soda Water
Self raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Turmeric
Freshly ground Black Pepper
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt

Method:-

(1) Soak the Pigs Heat in Milk in the fridge for a couple of hours.
(2) Drain and dry on kitchen paper.
(3) Pre-heat the fryer to 180c.
(4) Mix a very think batter with the flour, seasonings and Soda Water.
(5) Add the Heart to the batter and make sure it is all well coated.
(6) Using a large kitchen spoon scoop spoonfuls of the battered Heart and drop them into the Oil. It’s a good idea to remove the basted so they don’t stick.
(7) When they rise to the surface turn them over a couple of times until the batter is golden brown on all sides.
(8) Remove each batch and drain on kitchen paper.

For those who have a dislike of all things offal (I used to be in that camp myself) just stick with the fancy French name…. You will be pleasantly surprised! We served ours over stir-fry vegetables, Potato croutons, Smoked Lithuanian Sausage bites and dressed with home brewed Kimchi!
