Latvian Pork Chops (Karbonade)

Latvian Pork Chops (Karbonade)

Around the World for £4 or less took us to Latvia for “L” yesterday evening. The following is certainly not traditional, Sue though the recipe was a bit boring so she added her unique twist. We probably went over budget as well, but the Karbonade was a meal on its own without crispy frying the Pork and certainly without the giant Yorkshire pudding!
 
Ingredients:-
 
4 Pork Chops, cut into strips
Spring Cabbage, sliced
1 Carrot, cut into batons
2 Eggs
Oil for frying
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 tbsp of Butter / Margarine
1 Onion, chopped
Mushrooms, chopped
Single Cream
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp Dill
 
Method:-
 
(1) Season the Pork with Salt & Pepper.
(2) Heat Oil on a medium heat.
(3) Put flour (We used Gluten Free) on a plate
(4) Beat the Eggs in a bowl.
(5) Dredge the Pork in flour and then Egg.
(6) Fly for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and set aside.
(7) Return the pan a medium heat, add Onions and cook until softened.
(8) Add chopped mushrooms, Carrot and Cabbage, stirring occasionally.
(9) Add Cream and cook for a further 2 minutes.
(10) Stir in the Lemon juice and Dill
(11) Season to taste with Salt and Pepper.
 
We served our Karbonade I a giant Yorkshire Pudding with the crispy fried Pork over the top. Traditional? I suspect not in the slightest!

Chicken Poppers recipe

Some folk like to go to McWimpy or Whopper King for their Chicken Poppers / Nuggets. We’d rather cook them at home and know what’s in them. Both Sue and I have done our time it those sorts of restaurants. But really it’s so easy and quick…..

Ingredients:-

Chicken Breast cut into 2Cm cubes
Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Garlic Salt
Ground Cloves
Ground Turmeric

Method:-

(1) Mix the dry ingredients with enough Soda Water to make a stiff batter.
(2) In a bowl with a little extra Flour coat the Chicken so that the batter will stick better.
(3) Heat a fryer to 180c.
(4) Coat small batches of Chicken pieces and fry until golden brown. If you have a kitchen probe you are looking for 75c in the middle.
(5) Drain on kitchen paper before serving.

We served ours with hand cut chips and home made Coleslaw. A little fresh Parsley added a bit of colour.
