Stuffed Zucchini

Stuffed Zucchini

We’ve reached “Z” in our Ingredients Alphabet experiment. OK we’d usually call the Zucchini Courgettes here, but a bit of artistic license….

Ingredients:-

The meat from 2 cooked Chicken thighs, shredded
1 large Zucchini each
Grated Cheese
Seasoned (Gluten free) Breadcrumbs
Grated Italian style Cheese
1/2 a tub of Garlic and Herb Quark
Finely chopped Mushrooms
Finely chopped Onion

Method:-

(1) Cut the Zucchini in half and scoop out the seeds to make an odd little green boat.
(2) Sautee the Onions in Garlic Butter until softened.
(3) Add the chopped Mushrooms.
(4) Season with Salt, Pepper and mixed Herbs.
(5) Add the Chicken and mix well.
(6) Add the Quark.
(7) Fill the Zucchini.
(8) Place in the oven at 180c for 20 minutes.
(9) Sprinkle with grated Cheese, Italian style Cheese and Breadcrumbs.
(10) Put back in the oven for a further 10 minutes.
(11) Place in the grill to crisp up.

The filling can be anything you have available really, but this combination was really taste. We served ours with a few chips and some Lacto Fermented Red Cabbage.

Coeur de Porc battu recipe

Using a dodgy translation service to make something sound appealing. That’s a very old restaurant trick. But read on folks…..

We had quite a few stir-fry ingredients in as we made a stir-fry with the remaining Yellow Sticker Chicken the other day. But also loitering in the darker recesses of the freezer was a large pack of diced Pigs Heart, which cost us £1.24. Yes Pigs Heart! Well that my Vegan and Vegetarian friends gone then. Sorry….

Ingredients:-

Diced Pigs Heart
Milk
Soda Water
Self raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Turmeric
Freshly ground Black Pepper
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt

Method:-

(1) Soak the Pigs Heat in Milk in the fridge for a couple of hours.
(2) Drain and dry on kitchen paper.
(3) Pre-heat the fryer to 180c.
(4) Mix a very think batter with the flour, seasonings and Soda Water.
(5) Add the Heart to the batter and make sure it is all well coated.
(6) Using a large kitchen spoon scoop spoonfuls of the battered Heart and drop them into the Oil. It’s a good idea to remove the basted so they don’t stick.
(7) When they rise to the surface turn them over a couple of times until the batter is golden brown on all sides.
(8) Remove each batch and drain on kitchen paper.

For those who have a dislike of all things offal (I used to be in that camp myself) just stick with the fancy French name…. You will be pleasantly surprised! We served ours over stir-fry vegetables, Potato croutons, Smoked Lithuanian Sausage bites and dressed with home brewed Kimchi!
