Davy Jones’ Locker

We fancied something a bit different yesterday and I suggested having a look at the Fish counter. Sue’s not keen on flaky Fish as such, but Mussels and Squid? Oh yes! There was an offer on so the Fish component including three Squid and a kilo of live Mussels was £4 in total. The other ingredients are really inexpensive. We might have been just over budget, but we’re often well under so……

Ingredients:-

Mussels
Squid / Calamari, bodies cut into strips, heads as they come
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
The juice of ½ a Lemon
Fresh Parsley
Shallots, finely sliced
Capers
A slug of cheap White Wine
Rehydrated Wood Ear Mushrooms
A dash of Fish Sauce
Smoked Paprika
Cayenne Pepper
A tin of chopped Tomatoes
Salt & Pepper
Rice Glass Noodles
Oil

Method:-

(1) Sauté the Shallots for 2 minutes and add the Capers and Garlic.
(2) Simmer for a further 2 minutes.
(3) Add the drained tin of Tomatoes and simmer for a further 2 to 3 minutes.
(4) Stir in the Mussels and Mushrooms.
(5) Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until the Mussels have opened.
(6) Shake the pan and remove the lid.
(7) Fold in the Calamari and cook for a further 2 minutes.
(8) Add the Rice Noodles to boiling water and slimmer for 2 minutes.
(9) Serve the sauce over a bed of Noodles and season to taste.
(10) Dress with a squeeze of Lemon and fresh Parsley.

There not much else to say about this dish. We would have paid good money to enjoy this in a restaurant!

Cheesy Turkey Burger, recipe. Eat well on Universal Credit

 

Well you know everything is going up in price, so we need to adapt to fit our budget, like everybody else.

Turkey Breast mince is actually cheaper than the very fatty Beef / Pork mince weight for weight. BUT it's got a very low fat content. Generally this would be a bad gig for hand pressed Burgers. Dry and falling apart isn't really appealing.

Tip Time:-

Form your Burger around a bit of Cheese. We used Baby Bell as we had some left over in the fridge. A bit of Salt and Pepper in the Turkey mince helps as well.

As the Mince cooks the Cheese melts adding fat, flavour and a bit of Salt to the meat. You Burgers will 'hold' well (As in they don't break up) and taste really good.....
