It’s the season to be Nutty!

Hazelnut recipes

We are very fortunate in that we have a Hazel bush very near to home and no squirrel population.

We do miss our Squirrel friends, but we also enjoy a few foraged Hazelnuts….. The bush produced some pretty impressive nuts last year, but they are even bigger this year., the 10p coin is for scale. So here are the recipes we created last year. Expect several more strange and innovative nut recipes soon as they are just beginning to fall.

The Hazel Pasto won't be repeated here as Sue really didn't like it. You can't win them all.....

Fish, Chips, Peas and Caper Sauce

OK it’s not quite conventional, but what exactly did you expect from us? Sue’s not a fan of flaky fish generally. But we’ve discovered that we are both very keen on Ray Wings. So when they appear with a Yellow Sticker, all is good!

Nobody needs a recipe for flouring and frying fish I hope? Chips? A but the sauce was something else!

Caper Sauce Ingredients:-

2 Spring Onion whites, finely chopped
½ Tsp of Crispy Cuttlefish and Chilli Paste
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tsp of Capers, slightly crushed
Juice of 1 & ½ Lemons
1 Tsp Dried Parsley
1 Tsp Dijon Mustard
Butter
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Gently fry the Spring Onions in Butter until translucent.
(2) Add the Garlic and fry gently for a couple more minutes.
(3) Reserve a little Butter and add the remaining ingredients except the Parsley.
(4) Simmer over a low heat for a couple of minutes.
(5) Stir in the remaining Butter and Parsley  and drizzle over the fish.

The Crispy Cuttlefish and Chilli Paste was an impulse buy from a Chinese Supermarket at (We seem to recall) £0.99 But it really packs a punch. We will be buying more when needed. But you only need ½ a teaspoon and this jar has lived in the fridge door for months now…...
