Swineherd Pie recipe!

Swineherd Pie recipeYou've heard of Cottage Pie and Shepherds Pie? Well our take on it is Swineherd Pie, mainly because minced Pork is generally cheaper....
 
Ingredients:-
 
500g of minced Pork
2 large Onions, finely chopped
Soy Sauce (GF if required)
2 Carrots, finely chopped
Potatoes, boiled and mashed
Gravy Granules (Bisto Best are GF)
Cheese, grated to top
Vegetables of your choice
 
Method:-
 
(1) Heat a little oil in a large pan. Add the pork and fry to brown all over, stirring to break up any large chunks. Set aside.
(2) Add a splash more oil to the pan, Carrot and Onion and fry until the Onion is softened.
(3) Mix the Gravy Granules with boiling water to make sufficient to moisten the mince in a casserole dish.
(4) Preheat the oven to 180c.
(5) Add the mince to the Onions and Carrot and stir in the gravy and a good dash of Soy Sauce.
(6) Transfer to a large casserole dish and add the mashed Potato to the top to cover.
(7) Place the casserole in the oven uncovered for 30 minutes or until the Potato has a golden brown top.
(8) Sprinkle with grated Cheese and place back in the oven until the Cheese has melted and crisped a little.

Lemon Garlic Chicken recipe

The legs and wings were from a yellow sticker Chicken I butchered a while ago and froze. The mysterious nugget things are actually some Courgettes we’d peeled for a previous recipe we had in the fridge and some left over batter we made the day before for Tokneneng (battered Eggs!) Left overs don’t go to waste here…...

Ingredients:-

Chicken legs and wings
Garlic Powder
Zest of a Lemon
Lightly crushed Black Peppercorns
Seasoned self raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Olive Oil
Salt

Method:-

(1) Marinate the Chicken portions in the Oil, Garlic Powder, Black Peppercorns and Lemon Zest.
(2) Roll in the seasoned Flour to coat all sides.
(3) Fry on all sides until browned and set aside.
(4) Heat a fryer to 170c.
(5) Deep fry in batches and drain. You are looking for 75c or above near the bone if you have a food probe. If not lift from the oil on stab with a skewer, if the juices run clear you’re good.

We served ours in large home made Gluten free Yorkshire puddings with boiled spuds and stir-fried vegetables. Not quite a Sunday roast, but near enough!
