Pickled Chive Heads

Pickled Chive Heads

I’m a member of various Pickling and Fermenting groups. I saw this quick recipe and thought why not? There are loads of Chive Heads in the local Edible Garden and folk generally just pull them of to keep the plant producing leaves. The recipe suggested throwing the heads away once the pickling has finished and just using to infused Vinegar. We’ll not be doing that, they will be used to brighten up meals!

Ingredients:-

2 handfuls of Chive Heads.
Spirit Vinegar
A screw top jar!

Method:-

(1) Push as many Chive heads as you can into your Jar without crushing them.
(2) Fill the Jar with Vinegar.
(3) Seal and put aside for 7 to 10 days.

The Vinegar will turn a light red and the Chive flavour will infuse.

Air Fryer Golonka recipe, eat well on universal credit

I have a confession to make. When I got the initial Ham Hock we looked at it and thought there didn’t seem it be much meal on it. I bought another. Eyes bigger than belly! We’ve enough Cooked Ham left for another meal tonight……

Ingredients:-

A Ham Hock for two. Or one each if you are ravenous!

Glaze ingredients:-

Honey
Mango Wine
Chilli Jam
Sliced Green Chillies

Method:-

(1) In a pan of water boil the Hock for 20 to 30 minutes. This partially cooks the meal and also removes some of the Salt.
(2) Drain and allow to cool.
(3) Pat dry with kitchen paper.
(4) In a pan bring the Glaze ingredients it a low simmer.
(5) Pre-heat the Air Fryer to 160c.
(6) Baste the Hock with half of the Glaze and pop in the Air Fryer for 25 minutes.
(7) Remove and pour the remaining Glaze over the Hock and return to the Air Fryer for a further 20 minutes.

This is really not traditional as such, but recipe mangling is fun! Sorry to our Polish friends for tinkering with your recipe, but it was good!!!
