Honey & Miso Poussin

Honey & Miso Poussin recipe, eat well on universal credit

This might look like a bit of a showy dressed up gig. But we’re not keen on spending more for a Small Chicken, than a Large one was last year. So when Poussin appear in the Yellow Sticker fridge I’m more than happy to pay the discounted price knowing that there’s enough per serving and no waste. They have a much greater Meat / Cavity
ration than the larger birds, so they actually work out better value.


Ingredients:-

2 Poussins

Marinade Ingredients:-

2 Tbsp of Honey
2 Tbsp of Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Zest of ½ a Lemon, plus the juice
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
A Thumb of Ginger, grated
1 Tsp of Dried Thyme
1 Tsp of Miso
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Combine the Marinade Ingredients.
(2) Pour over the Poussins.
(3) Place in the fridge covered for 30 minutes.
(4) Cook in a pre-heated oven for 1 hour at 180c covered.
(5) Remove the Poussins from the sauce and set aside covered.
(6) Pour the remaining sauce into a pan and simmer to reduce.
(7) Spoon the reduced sauce over the Poussins to server.

As we’re enjoying our Asian recipes at the moment and have pretty much all the ingredients at hand, it would have been erroneous not to ‘Chinesificate’ them!

Calamari Risotto Style recipe

The Squid rings were part of a 3 for £5 deal, so cost us £1.67 for the pack. So Sue cobbled this recipe together with ingredients we had in.

Ingredients:-

Squid rings
2 Small Onions diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of Oregano
1 Cup of Rice
1 ½ Cup of Fish Stock
Dried Parsley & Basil
1 Squeeze of Lemon Juice
1 Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
A Glug of Fish Sauce
Frozen Peas
A Glug of Soy Sauce
1 Tsp of Ginger, minced
1 Tsp of Brown Sugar
Fresh Parsley
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Gently fry the Squid rings for 3 minutes turning regularly.
(2) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Remove from the pan and set aside, reserving the cooking juices.
(4) Add a little extra Oil to the pan and fry the Onion until translucent.
(5) Rinse the Rice in cold water and drain.
(6) Add to the Onions and stir for a few minutes.
(7) Add the reserved Squid juices and Fish Stock.
(8) Heat until simmering.
(9) Add the Garlic, Oregano, Basil, Cayenne Pepper, Soy Sauce, Ginger and Brown Sugar.
(10) Keep stirring gently until the liquid is absorbed.
(11) Add more water if required until the Rice is tender and a little sticky.
(12) Add the frozen Peas and stir in.
(13) Dress with chopped Parsley and a good squeeze of Lemon Juice.

This was remarkably tasty and the Squid was really tender.
