Gluten Free & Dairy Free Chicken Kiev
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…..

We really enjoyed this with mixed greens. But I bought Rump Steak because it was on offer. It would have been much better with Flank or Skirt which have a longer grain structure and more fat content.

We thought we needed a new theme. Icelandic recipes here we go. Lamb is generally out of budget for us. But Lamb Shanks give a good deal of meat for not a vast amount of money. The recipe said any Lamb cut with bone in, including the head! We might pass on the Head gig…..
Ingredients:-
800g of Lamb Shanks
1L of Beef Stock
1 Large Onion, Diced
2 Carrots, battoned
½ a Swede, diced
4 Parsnips, diced
¼ of a White Cabbage, shredded
50g of Brown Rice
400g of Red Potatoes, quarter
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
Dried Oregano, Thyme & 2 Bay Leaves
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season
Method:-
(1) In a large pan add a little Oil on a high heat and sear the meat on all sides.
(2) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Remove and set aside.
(4) Add the Onions and reduce the heat, frying until softened.
(5) Add the Garlic and fry gently for a further 2 minutes.
(6) Add all the Vegetables excluding the Cabbage, season again.
(7) Add the Dried Oregano, Thyme & Bay Leaves.
(8) Add the Stock, Rice and Lamb, making sure the Lamb is submerged.
(9) Cover and simmer for an hour or so, stirring occasionally.
(10) Add the Cabbage and simmer for a further 30 minutes.
(11) Find and remove the Bay Leaves before serving.
For a dish with limited ingredients we really enjoyed this. The remaining casserole has been ‘wuzzed’ up into a Soup and frozen.

We thought we’d continue with the Swedish theme. Clearly we can’t get Wapiti (Elk) Meat locally, so we just went with boneless belly Pork and winged it…
Ingredients:-
500g of Belly Pork, cubed with the rind removed
1 Onion, chopped
2 Carrots, chopped
1 Leek, chopped
1 Parsnip, chopped
1 Bay Leaf
1 Sprig of Thyme
10 Peppercorns
Salt to season
Dill Reduction Ingredients:-
50g of Fresh Dill
120ml of Water
3 Tbsp of White Wine Vinegar
3 Peppercorns
40g of Sugar
120ml of Milk (Lactose free for us)
2 Tbsp of Ground Cashew Nuts
2 Tbsp of Cornflour mixed with a little water
Method:-
(1) Put the Pork in a pan and cover with cold water.
(2) Bring to the boil covered for a couple of minutes.
(3) Drain and rinse the Pork and clean out the pan.
(4) Return the Pork with the Onions, Carrot, Leek, Bay Leaf, Thyme, Peppercorn and season with Salt.
(5) Add enough water to cover everything and bring to the boil.
(6) Reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour.
(7) For the Dill reduction remove the fronds from the stems and set aside.
(8) Put the stems, Water,Peppercorns, Sugar and Vinegar in a pan and boil for 5 minutes.
(9) Set aside to cool.
(10) When the meat is cooked strain and reserve about 450ml of the stock.
(11) Return the Meat and Vegetables to the pan with the 450ml of stock.
(12) Whisk the Milk and Cashew Nuts together and add to the pan over a low heat.
(13) Add the Dill reduction and season to taste.
(14) Thicken with Cornflour and Water mixture stirring regularly.
(15) Serve garnished with the Dill fronds.
Although we loved the Dill flavours we found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for us. It was probably because we are , having to use Cashew Nuts + Lactose free Milk to replace Cream in sauces. So the sweetness of the Cashew Nuts, plus the Sugar and the sweetness of the root vegetables probably all combined.
