Fusion Squid

Fusion Squid recipe

There was a 3 for 1 offer on seafood at the local supermarket a while ago. The baby Squid were part of my haul. So a very ‘Made Up’ stuffed Squid gig was created!

Ingredients:-

Stuffed Squid

Rice
Capers
The juice of a Lemon
1 Onion, finely chopped
Chorizo, finely chopped
Garlic Salt
Oil to fry
Turmeric
Olive Oil


Method:-

(1) Boil a small amount of Rice sufficient to make the major part of your stuffing. Drain and set aside to cool.
(2) Gently fry the Onion and Chorizo and add the Garlic Salt.
(3) Add mix all the ingredients except the Turmeric and Olive Oil in a bowl to create your stuffing.
(4) Stuff the Squid Bodies and use a Cocktail stick the close the open end.
(5) Mix the Turmeric and Olive Oil and brush over the outsides.
(6) Place under the grill and grill on both sides until the Squid is just cooked.

Ingredients:-

Battered Squid Heads!:-

Gram Flour
Salt & Pepper
1 Egg, beaten
Chilli Flakes

Method:-

(1) Mix the ingredients with enough water to make a stiff batter.
(2) Coat each head and deep fry until they pop up in the oil.
(3) Remove and drain on kitchen paper.

Sue made a stir-fry with Bok Choy, Red Peppers and Spring Onions. With a Tomato based sauce to drizzle and served over Rice Noodles this was a really tasty dinner. OK not everybody would want the deep fry heads staring at them, but we’re not squeamish like that!

Duck Breast with Tamarind & Ginger Sauce recipe, eat well on universal credit

 

Two Duck Breasts for £1.38 seemed too good an offer to refuse. So Sue combined a few recipes and came up with this.

Ingredients:-

2 Duck Breasts
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Thumb of Ginger, grated
6 Tbsp of Tamarind Puree
2 Tbsp of Fish Sauce
100ml of Chicken Stock
2 Tbsp of Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp of Five Spice
4 Tbsp of Sugar
1 Tbsp of Thyme
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Score the fat on the Duck Breasts and season with Salt & Pepper, Five Spice and Thyme.
(2) Place the Breasts skin side down in a dry frying pan and fry for 8 minutes, until the fat has rendered and the skin is crispy.
(3) Turn over and seal the flesh side.
(4) Transfer to a pre-heated oven (Air Fryer in our case) at 160c and cook for a further 8 minutes.
(5) Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
(6) Add the Olive Oil to a frying pan on a medium heat.
(7) Fry the Garlic and Ginger stirring continuously.
(8) Add the Tamarind Puree, Oyster Sauce, Fish Sauce and Sugar.
(9) Cook and stir until the Sugar has dissolved.
(10) Stir in the Stock and season with Salt & Pepper.
(11) Slice the Breasts into 1cm slices and pour over the Sauce.

We served ours over a bed of Rice Noodles with stir-fry vegetables and garnished with Spring Onions and Sesame Seeds. Duck always goes well with citric flavours, but this was something else!
