Duck with Red Wine and Shallot Sauce.

Duck with Red Wine and Shallot Sauce

Yes that sounds like a budget breaker! But I combined a couple of meat deals the other day so we got 600G of Turkey Mince, 500g of Beef mince, a decent sized Chicken and two Duck breasts for £10. It was the two year anniversary of “Eat Well on Universal Credit” yesterday so we had a bit of a treat.

Sauce Ingredients:-

100ml of cheap Red Wine
2 Shallots, skinned and diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
500ml of Chicken Stock
A knob of Butter
Salt & Pepper

Method:-
We like our Duck pink and we served with New Potatoes, Broccoli and Corn on the Cob. Not bad for less than £2 each!!!!

(1) Fry the Shallots and then add the Garlic until the Shallots are softened.
(2) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Add the Chicken Stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
(4) Add the Red Wine and simmer for another 20 minutes.
(5) Stir in the Butter and serve.

Gluten Free & Dairy Free Chicken Kiev, recipe, eat well on universal credit

As Milk products have now become a problem for Sue, we’re re-inventing some of our favourite Gluten Free recipes. This was quite an easy fix and it worked really well.

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts
2 Tbsp of Garlic Butter, with additional dried Herbs - To add colour
Gluten & Dairy Free Breadcrumbs to coat, seasoned with Spices of your choice
1 Egg beaten
2 Tbsp of Cornflour

Method:-

(1) Make a pocket in the Chicken Breast.
(2) Spoon the Garlic Butter into the pocket.
(3) Smother the outside of the breast with the excess Garlic Butter.
(4) Coat with the Cornflour.
(5) Dip in the Egg and then roll to coat in the Breadcrumbs.
(6) Place in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm.
(7) Cook in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 20 to 30 minutes.

We used our home Lacto fermented Garlic which has been ageing in the cupboard for a few months. Also Olive Spread to replace the Butter. It really packs a punch now…..
