Hazelnut, Porcini, Sage and Onion Stuffing balls

Hazelnut, Porcini, Sage and Onion Stuffing balls

As part of one of Sue’s birthday presents we have received some dried Porcini mushrooms. We’ve foraged quite a haul of Hazelnuts, it’s been a great year for them. We’ve also picked some fresh Sage. So what to make? We’ve a Sunday afternoon off and we seldom actually have a roast dinner on a Sunday. What’s good with a roast? Stuffing. What’s better with a roast? 80% foraged Gluten free stuffing balls to your own original recipe obviously!

The quantities were just guessed but it really doesn’t matter….

Ingredients:-

Foraged Hazelnuts, de-shelled (Our neighbours probably hate me as I did ours wrapped in a T-towel using the rolling pin in the kitchen!)
Dried Porcini Mushrooms
Fresh and dried Sage
1 Egg
Bread ( Gluten free in our case )
Butter / Margarine
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Sweat the finely chopped Onions in a little Butter / Margarine , Salt & Pepper, dried Sage and set aside.
(2) Using a blender, crumb the Bread, Hazelnuts, Porcini and dried Sage.
(3) Beat the Egg.
(4) Allow everything to cool.
(5) Combine all the ingredients and form into balls.
(6) Place in the oven with your roast of choice for the last 20 minutes in a separate tray.

Best served with a roast dinner. But if you have real issues I guess these (Might) work with grass and seaweed ice-cream. Please if you do try this we don’t want to know!

Bread Machine Gluten Free Bread recipe, eat well on universal credit

We just followed the basic GF recipe for our first loaf. But we can both confirm:-

(1) This actually tastes as good as ‘Real’ Bread.
(2) It is outstanding a fried Bread on a full English Breakfast.

Ingredients:-

180g of Water
30g of Olive Oil
5g of Cider Vinegar
15g of Egg Whites
8g of Salt
30g of Sugar
300g of Gluten Free Bread Flour Mix
2g of Baking Powder
7g of Yeast

In our Bread Maker it’s setting ‘9’, clearly this will depend on the machine. Although these machines still clearly use the Chorleywood bread process, this loaf was a near to a Gluten containing loaf from a bakery as we’ve had in the last 5 years. It makes the grey flavourless sliced version from the supermarkets seem a shameful waste of money.

On another note. The machine should have been £99.95 but was reduced to £60. Which we felt was a pretty good price. However there was a pricing error and it actually only cost £40. We’re on our second loaf as I type. Our new toy will have paid it’s way in less than a month at this rate!!!!
