Hazel Nuts in a Stir-Fry

We have a local Hazel Tree which is not the victim of the Squirrels. It’s actually just within the grounds of a student accommodation enclosure. It’s on a bank so the nuts roll towards the footpath and the students, seemingly, have no idea what a Hazel Nut is unless it’s covered in chocolate.

So at this time of year it’s a win-win for us. We’ve tried a few bits and bobs with them. ( They are here ) This recipe worked really well. The lightly toasted Nuts take on the flavours of the Garlic and Ginger, while still having their characteristic sweetness.

If you’re awash with Hazel Nuts and are willing to spend a bit of time toasting and bashing them, this is well worth the effort!

Air Fryer Chicken and Bacon Kiev recipe

We upgraded our Air Fryer a while ago and although we’ve cook various things in it, we think if has more potential than we’ve used so far. So here we go - Air Fryer recipe collection….

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts
Streaky Bacon
Garlic Butter / Margarine
Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
Egg, beaten for Egg wash

Method:-

(1) Place the Garlic Butter in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
(2) Cut a pocket in the Chicken and press the Garlic Butter into the middle.
(3) Wrap with streaky Bacon.
(4) Cook 200c in the Air Fryer for 15 minutes.
(5) Remove and allow to cool slightly.
(6) Dunk in the Egg wash and then dredge in the Breadcrumbs.
(7) Return to the Air Fryer and cook for a further 15 minutes until the Chicken is cooked through and the Breadcrumbs are crispy.

We served ours with a light Potato Salad, Baby Sweetcorn, Pickles and Salad. We’re both feeling a bit ‘Food fatigued’ after Christmas and New Year!
