Butter Basted Turkey Dinner

Butter Basted Turkey Dinner

It’s very unusual that we actually have a Sunday Roast on Sunday. Somehow this seems to be a midweek gig here. But I happened across this Butter and Herb basted Turkey breast cut in the discount fridge at half price. £2.50 for plenty of meat for two humans, Smooh the cat and some leftovers for a pack-up. Sorted!

For the Vegetables we had a few bits and bobs in the fridge which needed using:-

Bendy Carrots, to boil
1 Parsnip and Potatoes, to roast
Elderly Broccoli, to boil
Tired Mushroom, for Mushroom gravy.

Sage and Rosemary Yorkshire Puddings are a must here with a roast. Mostly because I can forage both locally and we love the added dimension:-

Ingredients:-

100g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper
1 sprig of fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
3 short sprigs of Sage, finely chopped

Method:-

(1) Heat your oiled Yorkshire Pudding tray in the oven at 220c until the oil is smoking.
(2) Whisk all the ingredients vigorously.
(3) Pour into the tray and return to the oven very quickly.
(4) Cook at 220c for 10 minutes the reduce the temperature to 180c.
(5) Cook for a further 25 minutes.

Mushroom Gravy:-

Ingredients:-
Ingredients:-
Gluten free Gravy Granules
Turkey Stock from the roast
Mushrooms, roughly cut
½ Tsp of Wholegrain Mustard

Method:-

(1) Mix the Gravy Granules with water and simmer as usual.
(2) Add the Mushrooms.
(3) Add the Wholegrain Mustard.
(4) Add Turkey Stock once the Turkey is cooked and ready to serve.
(5) Stir and serve.

Pretty good really. We’d not normally buy Turkey breast as we both prefer the leg and thigh meat. But yellow sticker you know!

Swansea Breakfast recipe, eat well on universal credit

The recipe called this a “Traditional” Swansea Breakfast which seems to be a bit contentious. Traditional or not to was packed with flavour.

Pickled Cockles are interesting price wise. 89p in one shop and £2.00 in another shop within sight? Clearly I bought the more expensive ones although they were exactly the same brand - If you believe this you probably need an appointment with somebody about your mental function. Best of luck getting any sort of NHS appointment however!!!!!

Ingredients:-

1 Large Onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp of Oil to fry
4 Rashers of Bacon, chopped
100g of Cooked Cockles
120g of Laverbread
The Juice of a Lemon
Black Pepper to taste

Method:-

(1) Heat the Oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the Onions until softened.
(2) Add the Bacon and cook until crisp.
(3) Add the Cockles and mix in the Laverbread.
(4) Season with freshly ground Black Pepper and the Lemon Juice.

We used this a the centrepiece for a Breakfast with Sausages, Fried Egg, Fried home made Cheese & Chive Bread and Hash Browns. But it beat us. All that was required was the Fried Bread. This is a recipe we’ll certainly be doing time after time!
