Battered Shaggy Ink Caps recipe, eat well on universal credit

Shaggy Ink Caps (Coprinus comatus) as a very safe beginners foraged Mushroom. There’s nothing which looks much like them which will do you any harm. However they have a very short shelf life and can be a bit slimy if you just throw them in a pan and fry them. But battered they were really good.

Ingredients:-

4 Tbsp of Gram Flour
5 Tbsps of Cornflour
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper to season
2 Tsps of Baking Powder
2 Tsps of Turmeric
1 TSp of Garlic Granules
1 Tsp of Onion Salt
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Cut the stalk off the Mushrooms.
(2) Keep 1 Tbsp of Cornflour aside.
(3) Mix the remaining ingredients to form a thick Batter.
(4) Damp the Mushrooms with a little Water and roll the in Cornflour.
(5) Coat with the Batter Mix.
(6) Deep fry at 160c until the Batter is crispy.
(7) Drain on kitchen paper.

We had ours as an addition to a Pork stir-fry with the Pork Loin strips coated in the same batter.

Asian Curry Puffs recipe, eat well on universal credit

OK this is clearly a fusion job! Our first attempt was an on-line Gluten Free recipe which simply didn’t work. We both had a pop at it and both failed. Sometimes recipes just don’t work.

So this was a real fusion dish made from various leftovers!


Ingredients:-

Left over filling from the Nasi Goreing Recipe
Left over filling from the Rellenong Pusit Recipe
2 Tsp of mild Curry Powder
1 Tsp of Chinese 5 Spice
2 Eggs, beaten
1 Tsp of Turmeric
2 rolls of Just Roll Gluten Free Puff Pastry ( Yes I actually bought Pastry! )

Method:-

(1) Mix the leftover filling with the Curry Powder and Chinese 5 Spice in a bowl.
(2) Mix the beaten Eggs and Turmeric in a dish.
(3) Pre-heat the over to 180c.
(4) Use an inverted bowl to cut circles out of the pastry.
(5) Add filling so they will be well packed, but you will be able to close the edges.
(6) Crimp the pastry to seal the fillings in.
(7) Brush with the Egg wash to add colour during cooking.
(8) Place in the oven for 45 minutes.
(9) Remove and place on a rack to cool.
(10) Freeze if required.
 

I work with a Vegetarian and a Vegan neither of who will appreciate these. But Clay, Jason, Dillan and I will….. We got 10 ‘Pasties’ on of left-overs and pastry. So the total cost including the Eggs etc. is about 22p each!
