Banana & Ginger Chutney

Banana & Ginger Chutney recipe, eat well on universal credit

Due to a very odd stocking issue at the Co-Op where I collect I’ve had a vast amount of Bananas to move around over the last couple of days. Some were too bashed up to pass on, so we made a Chutney and it’s very good!

When life gives you Lemons - No cancel that - When life gives you Bananas…..

Ingredients:-

900g of Bananas, chopped
500g of Dates, chopped
1 Large Onion, diced
2 Lemons, Juice & Zest
40g of Ginger, grated
1 Red Chili, finely chopped
200g of Brown Sugar
500ml of Distilled Vinegar
1 Tsp of Hot Curry Powder
1 Tsp of Tamarind Paste

Method:-

(1) Place all the ingredients in a large pan and stir over a medium heat until the Sugar dissolves.
(2) Increase the heat to bring to the boil.
(3) Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 40 minutes stirring occasionally.
(4) Allow to cool and then spoon into sterilized jars.

According to the recipe we are supposed to allow this to mature for 4 weeks. Some of it might make it, maybe…….

We actually had so many Bananas to deal with that we doubled the quantities!

DIY Chicken Scotch Eggs recipe

If there really has to be a reason for making Scotch Eggs we’ll probably have to blame the Chicken Sausages we were given rather than them being composted. But really if we’re honest Sue made them because (A) It’s fun. (B) She can!

Ingredients:-

Eggs Boiled with their shells removed.
The meal from Chicken Sausages.
Turmeric
Mixed Herb
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
1 Egg, beaten
Salt & Pepper
Gluten Free Bread crumbs

Method:-

(1) While the Eggs cool strip the skins off the Sausages and season with a little Salt & Pepper.
(2) Add Garlic & Onion Salt and Turmeric the your Bread crumbs.
(3) Coat each Egg in a generous layer of season Sausage meat.
(4) Roll in the Egg wash and then in the Bread crumbs to coat.
(5) Place in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 30 minutes and turn after 15 minutes.

The Bread we used was yellow sticker Sour Dough at 25p a loaf. The Sausages were FOC and we’d made the Salad Cream a few nights earlier. So all we realistically paid full price for on the main plate was the Pea shoot salad, Cherry Tomatoes and a Spring Onion. Very tasty and remarkably filling for what looks like a light snack!
