Peppercorn Sauce (Lactose Free)

Lactose Free Peppercorn Sauce recipe, eat well on universal credit

As a result of Coeliac Disease Sue has become Lactose Intolerant. This is limiting as we love Cheese etc. However Cream based Sauces are also off the menu. Or it would be more accurate to say ‘Were off the menu’.

After a good bit of experimentation Sue has found a really good alternative - Ground Cashew Nuts and Lactose free Milk. We simply buy unsalted Cashew Nuts and wuzz them in the Food Processor.

Ingredients:-

2 Tbsp of Black Peppercorns, crushed
½ an Onion, diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1/ Tsp of Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce
300ml of Beef Stock
200 ml of Lactose free Milk
2 Tbsp of Ground Cashew Nuts
2 Tbsp of Margarine
1 Tbsp of Oil

Method:-

(1) Heat 1 Tbsp of Margarine and 1 Tbsp of Oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
(2) Add the Onions and Garlic and fry until softened.
(3) Add the Beef Stock and Peppercorns and simmer until reduced by a half.
(4) Add the Worcestershire Sauce.
(5) Stir the Ground Cashew Nuts in to the Milk and then add to the Sauce.
(6) Stir in the Dijon Mustard and allow to simmer until the Sauce thickens.
(7) Stir in the remain Tbsp of Margarine just before serving.

This makes the shop bought sachet version seem very poor by comparison!

Chorizo & King Prawn Pizza recipe

We had half a stick of Chorizo in the fridge, a tub of cubed Yellow Sticker Cheese at 20p and a bit of time on our hands. So we made another version of Pizza in a giant Gluten free Yorkshire pudding.

It’s a favourite ‘go-to’ recipe here for clearing bits and bobs from the fridge. Basically if you have a Tomato base sauce and some Cheese you can throw all sorts of wonders between them. It’s never failed us yet!

For the base:-

Ingredients:-

100g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Pre-heat the oven to 220c, add oil or lard to a large tray and place in the oven.
(2) Whisk all the ingredients for the batter several time to get as much air into it as possible.
(3) When the oil / lard is smoking quickly pour your batter mix in and return to the oven.
(4) Reduce the heat to 180c.
(6) Cook for 30 to 35 minutes until the Yorkshire Pudding has risen and is lightly browned. Don’t over cook at you will be returning to the the oven to melt the Cheese.
(7) Add the Tomato Base sauce and then your filling ingredients.
(8) Add grated Cheese to the top and return to the oven until the Cheese has malted and is starting to brown slightly.

These things are huge. But the remaining half made great snacks for the following day. OK to be fair this actually fed both of us for two days!
