Saturday Night Fake-Away

Saturday Night Fake-Away

Obviously we can’t get a takeaway and to be fair we wouldn’t if we could. So we thought we’d have a pop at the old chippy favourite – Battered Sausages. Actually we had far too much batter so we battered our chips as well!

Ingredients for the batter:-

Rice Flour
Corn Flour
Plain Flour (Gluten free in our case)
Gram Flour
Turmeric
Salt
2 Eggs for Egg wash

Method:-

(1) Beat your Eggs in a bowl for the Egg wash.
(2) Add plain Flour to a bowl.
(3) Mix the other ingredients with enough water to make a stiff batter.
(4) Cook and cool your Sausages in the oven.
(5) Heat the fryer to 180c.
(6) Roll the sausage in flour, Egg wash and Flour again.
(7) Dunk in the Batter trying to cover evenly and fry a couple at a time until golden brown.

Perhaps not the most elegant dish we’ve ever cooked. But tasty! Lots of Salt, Vinegar, Totam & Brown Sauce - Sorted!

Bean and Pork Casserole

There was a good sized piece of Boneless Pork Shoulder in the discount fridge at the local supermarket, which was an ideal way to try out our home pickled green Walnuts.

Ingredients:-

Boneless Pork Shoulder
Potatoes
Carrots
Onion
Celery
Swede
200g Mixed Beans
2 Pickled Walnuts
Stock
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Basil
Mushrooms
Bay Leaves
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) Soak you dried beans over night. We used a mixture of Black Eye Bean, Mung Beans and Rosecoco Beans.
(2) Cut the Pork into good sized cube and marinade in the Soy Sauce.
(3) Coat in a little Cornflour and fry to seal on all sides.
(4) Chop all the vegetables up and pop everything in the slow cooker with enough Stock to cover.
(5) Cook on High for about 6 hours into the Pork is tender.

The strange addition of Pickled Walnuts added a very slight Tannin back taste  which worked really well. As far as the Vegetables go, we just needed to clear what we had in the fridge.
