Sparassis Crispa stir-fry

Sparassis Crispa stir-fry

In a combination of Greek and Latin the name realistically means “ Tear Crispy ” - Not very helpful, even if quite descriptive of the texture? So some common names are - Cauliflower Fungus, Wood Cauliflower, Brain Fungus - Any one of those will do!

I’ve foraged this in Yorkshire and eaten it. But it seems to be a bit of a bug magnet and is a bit of a pain to clean. These were from a local Chinese supermarket and were bug free and dried. Which made them much more appealing!

We soaked them in cold water for a couple of hours before quartering and cutting the dense central core out.

This was a stir-fry with home made Gluten Free battered Chicken ( The Batter recipe is here ) and Sue’s home made Black Bean Sauce. ( Recipe here )

The Brain Fungus work just like a flavour sponge, absorbing and intensifying the sauce.

Cold Turkey Drummer Salad recipe

We've had quite a few fairly complicated dishes recently. Generally within our £4 budget. But sometimes we just fancy something simple. It was my turn to cook the other evening and we had a leftover Turkey Drummer, so I threw this together. It's not "Big & Clever" but it did the trick on a warm evening.

Ingredients:-

  • A Turkey Drummer cut into chunks with the ligament quills removed
  • 2 hard boiled eggs
  • Salad of your choice
  • Grated Cheese
  • Mayonnaise
  • ¼ of a cooled giant Yorkshire Pudding (Gluten free in our case) broken up

Method:-

(1) Made your salad with the Salad, Turkey, halved boiled Eggs and Mayonnaise.

(2) Dress with the Yorkshire Pudding and Grated Cheese.
