Asian style Devilled Lime & Ginger Kidney

Asian style Devilled Lime & Ginger Kidney

OK so Pork Kidney is not traditional for this dish, but they were ‘Yellow Sticker’ at 62p. The Mushrooms were also ‘Yellow Sticker’ at 32p, so all in all this recipe was well under budget and if I do say it myself, Restaurant quality….

Ingredients:-

400g of Pork Kidney, cut into small pieces
4 Mushrooms, finely diced
2 Shallots, finely diced
2 Clove of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of fresh Ginger, minced
1 Tsp of dried Oregano
1 Tsp of dried Thyme
60ml of water
15ml of Greek style Yogurt
The juice of 1 Lime
1 Tsp of Lime zest
1 Tbsp of Cornflour
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Cut and rinse the Kidneys.
(2) Coat in Cornflour and set aside covered.
(3) In a frying pan with a little Oil saute the Onions, Garlic, Mushrooms, Ginger, Oregano, Thyme, with a seasoning of Salt and Pepper until the Onion is translucent.
(4) Remove this mixture and cover.
(5) In the same pan add the cut Kidneys and saute until the juices run clear.
(6) Remove from the pan and set aside.
(7) Add the Onion mixture back to the pan and stir in the Greek Yogurt, Lime Juice & Zest and stir well.
(8) Continue to stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.
(9) Add everything back to the pan and stir to combine until heated through.

We’d been joking about an All Day Breakfast, so we served ours with Tokneneng  and crispy bacon, with a Pea shoot garnish over a ramekin of boiled Rice. Looks dreadfully fancy, but cost us very little!

Garden Pond recipe

The tale behind this oddity is nearly a silly as the end result.......

I went on my morning forage to the discounts isle yesterday and spotted some interesting looking sausages. Your standard low cost sausages are off the menu for us as they use Wheat Flour as a packer. On Wednesday evening we’d made a tray bake and the ludicrous question appeared in my mind “What would you call a combination of a giant Yorkshire pudding Toad In The Hole and a Tray Bake?” I came up with Garden Pond! We had all sorts of bits and bobs of vegetables which really needed using up so after joking with Sue I quickly scuttled back to the Supermarket and bought said sausages.

We didn’t have a great deal on yesterday afternoon so a silly idea soon developed into a full scale project. I foraged a few extra fresh herbs to dress the dish and Garden Pond was born! The planting around the pond is Sage, a Ruby Chard flower and Rosemary. The water lillies are Tomatoes, Sage leaves and Chive flowers. In the middle of the pond you can just see Sue Carrot Coy Carp!

Clearly we don’t expect anybody else to try this at home. But if you can’t get the kids to eat their veg a slightly more sane version would make a great talking point and possible incentive…. Nothing was wasted and we finished it this evening.
