Cauliflower Chilli Pickle

Cauliflower Chilli Pickle

When we had a Cauliflower in the fridge 4 weeks ago which was looking a bit past it Sue decided to have a play with my strange Lacto-fermenting gig. A bold step for a qualified Chef who knows if we were still in the trade the EHO would go nuts!

But Cauliflower Chilli Pickle is pretty cool. So as we have eaten the last batch – version #2 with whole Black Peppercorns and Red Chilli Pods…..

Ingredients:-

½ a Cauliflower head, chopped into lumps.
2 tbsp Salt
Whole Black Peppercorns
2 Red Chilli Pods
Chilli flakes
450ml Water

Method:-

(1) Add the Salt to the Water and heat to dissolve.
(2) Allow to cool to room temperature.
(3) Cram all the other bits & bobs in to a clip top jar. Allow a bit of heat room so you can get everything under the brine.
(4) Pour the brine over everything, making sure all the raw bits are submerged.
(5) Close the lid and forget about it for 3 weeks!

Mali – Poulet Yassa recipe

We're at “M” in our Around the World for £4 or less quest. This started out as a bit of fun “Let's find a recipe from every nation from A to Z with regional options for letters which don't have nations represented. “ You can see all the recipes we've tried so far here (Sorry they are not in Alphabetical order any more!)
 
So Poulet Yassa. It's a citrus Chicken dish which we served on a bed of fragrant rice.
 
Ingredients:-
 
1 small Chicken
1 large Onion, sliced
3 Chilli Peppers, minced
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
½ the juice of a Lemon and a Lime
Cider Vinegar
Vegetables of choice sliced
Oil 
Salt & Pepper
 
Method:-
 
(1) Spatchcock the Chicken – (Details here) and marinade in all the ingredients except the sliced Onion for at least 4 hours.
(2) Cook the Chicken in the oven at 180c for 30 to 40 minutes until the thickest parts run clear which you pierce them.
(3) In a pan using the cooked marinade and mean juices fry the Onion for 10 minutes.
(4) Add your vegetables. We used Carrots cut into batons, sliced Red Pepper, sliced Mushrooms and Peas.
(5) Simmer until the vegetables are tender, but not too soft.
(6) Cut the Chicken into large pieces removing all the bones and add to the pan, stirring until heated through.
