Chicken Caldereta

Chicken Caldereta recipe, eat well on universal credit

“Kaldereta or Caldereta's name is derived from the Spanish word caldera meaning cauldron.” That seems to make perfect sense. This is clearly a Home Cook, rather than Street Food, sort of recipe.

Ingredients:-

6 Chicken Drumsticks
2 Carrots, chopped
2 Potatoes, pealed and cubed
400ml of Chicken Stock
4 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
1 of each Small Red & Green Peppers, sliced
4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Red Onion, sliced
130g Liver Pate
400ml of Passata
1 Tbsp of Sugar
6 Silver Skin Pickled Onions
½ a cup of frozen Peas
100g of Chorizo, chopped
1 Tsp of Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil to Fry

Method:-

(1) In a bowl marinade the Chicken with the Soy Sauce, Garlic Powder and ½ a Tsp of ground Black Pepper.
(2) Pop in the fridge for at least half an hour.
(3) Heat Oil in a frying pan and fry the Potatoes until lightly browned.
(4) Add the Carrots and cook for a further few minutes.
(5) Add the sliced Peppers and cook for a further minute.
(6) Remove and set aside.
(7) In the same frying pan fry the marinaded Chicken until lightly browned, turning regularly.
(8) Add the minced Garlic and sliced Onions and cook until aromatic.
(9) Add the Pate, Chorizo, Chicken Stock and Sugar.
(10) Cover and simmer over a medium heat for 15 minutes.
(11) Add the Passata and allow to simmer for a further 10 minutes.
(12) Return the fried Potatoes, Carrots and Peppers to the pan and stir well.
(13) Simmer until everything is heated through and then add the Peas.
(14) Season with Salt and Pepper and simmer for a further 2 minutes.

This was a really hearty meal. Possibly better suited to a winter evening, than a very hot Autumn one. But there’s not much we can do about the weather!

Turkey Kofta recipe

Gluten free wraps for 20p as opposed to £2.00 in the yellow sticker fridge were the foundation of this idea. We also had a pack of yellow sticker Turkey Sausages in the freezer which cost us £1.29 a few weeks ago. This was a good opportunity to use up some bits and bobs in the fridge. Things like ½ a pack of fresh Mint which was bought for a recipe, but was beginning to look a bit sad….

Ingredients for the Kofta:-

6 Turkey Sausages
½ A large Onion, diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of fresh Parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp of fresh Mint, finely chopped
½ Tsp of Smoked Paprika
½ Tsp of Cumin
½ Tsp of Cinnamon
½ Tsp of All Spice
½ Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
1 Spring Onion, finely diced
Salt & Pepper

Ingredients for the Wrap filling:-

Grated mature Cheddar Cheese
2 Tomatoes, sliced
1 Red Onion, finely sliced
Brown Sauce (DIY Recipe here!)

Method:-

(1) If you are using wooden Skewers, soak them in water.
(2) Use a sharp knife to de-skin the Sausages.
(3) Mix all the ingredients and form into thick Sausage shapes.
(4) Push the skewer through the middle of Kofta lengthways.
(5) Place under the grill and turn regularly until they are slightly browned and cooked through.
(6) On a board remove the skewers and cut the Kofta into thin slices diagonally using a shape knife.
(7) Sprinkle the wraps with water and pop in the Microwave for a few seconds to soften.
(8) Add a little Brown Sauce, grated Cheese, sliced Onion, sliced Tomato. Avoid the ends so you can fold them in.
(9) Lay the sliced Kofta over the top.
(10) Fold the ends in and then wrap.
(11) Cut diagonally and serve.

We served these with home made Coleslaw, Wholegrain Mustard dressing, Killer Cucumber Pickle – All of which we already had made up – and hand cut chunky chips.
