Kjötsúpa - Icelandic Lamb Stew

Kjötsúpa - Icelandic Lamb Stew recipe, eat well on universal credit

We thought we needed a new theme. Icelandic recipes here we go. Lamb is generally out of budget for us. But Lamb Shanks give a good deal of meat for not a vast amount of money. The recipe said any Lamb cut with bone in, including the head! We might pass on the Head gig…..


Ingredients:-


800g of Lamb Shanks
1L of Beef Stock
1 Large Onion, Diced
2 Carrots, battoned
½ a Swede, diced
4 Parsnips, diced
¼ of a White Cabbage, shredded
50g of Brown Rice
400g of Red Potatoes, quarter
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
Dried Oregano, Thyme & 2 Bay Leaves
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-


(1) In a large pan add a little Oil on a high heat and sear the meat on all sides.
(2) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Remove and set aside.
(4) Add the Onions and reduce the heat, frying until softened.
(5) Add the Garlic and fry gently for a further 2 minutes.
(6) Add all the Vegetables excluding the Cabbage, season again.
(7) Add the Dried Oregano, Thyme & Bay Leaves.
(8) Add the Stock, Rice and Lamb, making sure the Lamb is submerged.
(9) Cover and simmer for an hour or so, stirring occasionally.
(10) Add the Cabbage and simmer for a further 30 minutes.
(11) Find and remove the Bay Leaves before serving.

For a dish with limited ingredients we really enjoyed this. The remaining casserole has been ‘wuzzed’ up into a Soup and frozen.

Steamed Hake with Chorizo & Olives recipe, eat well on universal credit

This whole Hake should have been £17.01 which we simply could not justify. But at £6.81 with a yellow sticker - When we got 4 servings out of it, it was a reasonably priced treat. But not the easiest or prettiest Fish the fillet…..

2 Hake fillets, pin boned. Skin on or off as you choose
2 Red Onions, sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of Paprika
100g of Chorizo, cubed
6 Green Olives, halved
150ml of White Wine
400Ml of Fish Stock
10 Cherry Tomatoes
300g of New Potatoes, halved
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Heat Oil in a Dutch Oven / Flame proof dish and add the Onions.
(2) Fry over a medium heat until softened.
(3) Add the Garlic and fry for a further minute.
(4) Add the Paprika and Chorizo and fry for a few more minutes.
(5) Add the Potatoes and stir until coated.
(6) Add the Wine, Stock and Salt & Pepper it season.
(7) Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the Potatoes are tender.
(8) Add the Olives and Tomatoes.
(9) Season the Hake with Salt & Pepper and lay over the vegetables.
(10) Cover and steam for 10 minutes, until the Fish is cooked through.

To be honest all you need is a sprinkle of Parsley for colour and this is good to go.
