Squeaky Cheese Balls

Squeaky Cheese Balls

Yes you read that right. There was a small pack of Yorkshire Squeaky Cheese in the discounts for 80p. When we had a play with it, it turned out to be very much like Mozzarella in consistency. So we “invented” Squeaky Cheese Balls!

Ingredients:-

Chilli powder
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Plain Flour ( Gluten free for us)
2 Slices of Bread ( Again this was home made Gluten free Olive bread left from an experiment the other day )
2 Eggs
Mozzarella style Cheese

Method:-

(1) Mix the Chilli Powder, Garlic Salt and Black Pepper into your Flour.
(2) Beat the Egg to make an Egg wash.
(3) Cut the Cheese into cubes about an inch / two and a half centimetres across.
(4) Wuzz the Bread to make Breadcrumbs.
(5) Heat a deep fat fryer to 160c.
(6) Dredge each piece of Cheese in the Flour mix.
(7) Drop into the Egg wash and coat on all sides.
(8) Roll in the  Breadcrumbs.
(9) Fry in small batches until they float and the  Breadcrumbs are golden brown.

We enjoyed these with home made Lacto - fermented Kimchi & Chilli Cauliflower, Coleslaw with Red Cabbage for a bit of colour, roasted Potato wedges and a small Pork steak each. Perhaps Spring has sprung and we can all start enjoying lighter meals again?

Air Fryer Chicken Parmigiano Bake recipe, low cost home cooked meals

If we owned a trumpet we’d be making a dreadful racket at the moment. We’re calling this a total Air Fryer success!!!!

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts
Parma Ham to cover the Chicken
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Onion, finely chopped
2 Clove of Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp of  Tomato Puree
500g of Passata
100ml of Chicken Stock
¼ Tsp of Sugar
125g of Mozzerella Ball, torn into pieces
40g of Grated Italian Style Cheese
1 Tsp of Mixed Herbs
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Season the Chicken with Salt and Pepper and wrap in Parma Ham length ways.
(2) Place the Breasts on a rack over Parchment paper and cook at 180c for 20 minutes in the Air Fryer.
(3) In a frying pan with a little Oil fry the Onions until softened.
(4) Add the Garlic and Tomato Puree & cook for a further minute or so.
(5) Pour in the Passata and Stock, season with Salt & Pepper.
(6) Add the Sugar and bring to the boil.
(7) Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
(8) Pour half of the sauce into a roasting tin and place the Chicken on top.
(9) Cover with the remaining sauce.
(10) Arrange the Mozzerella on top and sprinkle over the Italian Style Grated Cheese & Mixed Herbs.
(11) Allow to rest for 5 minutes and then return to the Air Fryer for a further 8 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the Cheese has melted.

We have quite a bit of sauce in a tub in the fridge which we’ll use up today. The quantity of sauce would suit 4 Chicken Breasts. But, well you know there’s only the two of us…..
