Laver Cakes

Laver Cakes recipe, eat well on universal credit

Realistically this should be based on Oats but Sue can’t eat them, so we modified the recipe to use Quinoa flakes. If you’re good with Oats feels free the use them.

Ingredients:-

60g of Laverbread (½ a Tin in our case)
The Juice on ½ a Lemon
140g of Quinoa Flakes
Salt & Pepper to Season
About 120ml of Water
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Mix all ingredients with just enough Water to make a lumpy paste.
(2) Allow to stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
(3) If the mixture is too dry to form into balls between spoons stir in a little more Water.
(4) Heat Oil in a pan to a medium heat.
(5) Form the Cakes into balls between two dessert spoons and drip into the Oil.
(6) Flatten with a spatula into Cakes.
(7) Turn over several times until the outside is slightly browned and crispy.


Leverbread has a very distinctive ‘Sea’ favour and you really don’t need a lot to make a huge impact. We drizzled a little Mushroom sauce over ours as we thought they might be dry. But actually although they are crispy on the outside they are tender inside and very tasty.

Brown Rice Noodles

We’re always on the lookout for something a bit different. On a ‘forage’ in a Continental Store we happened on these Brown Rice Noodles.

We though they would add a bit of colour to a sty fry. As neither of us had cooked them before we actually followed the cooking instructions of the packet - Quite unusual for us! It seems that the original Brown Rice has already been cooked and therefore according to the packet you simply pour boiling water over them and drain well. We can’t say we were convinced. Perhaps pouring two kettles of boiling water over and running a little Oil through to separate would have worked. We’ll work them out eventually - Not to be beaten by a pack of Noodles.

We stirred them through a King Prawn and Chorizo stir fry, which was really good. Shame about the rather odd Noodle texture. You can’t win them all!
