Nasi Goreng with Sardines

Nasi Goreng with Sardines recipe, eat well on universal credit

Mooching around the local supermarket looking for inspiration the other day I happened upon two packs of Sardines for a little over £2. £2 for 12 reasonable sized Sardines had to be done really.

Sue found the recipe. But we think it had lost something in the translation so she went a bit free-style! One thing they certainly forgot to mention is that this dish would be considerably better if you filleted the Fish. We both found the little bones a bit annoying.

Ingredients:-

Sardines ( Please fillet them or ask your fishmonger )
2 Eggs, beaten
4 Spring Onions, 2 chopped, 2 shredded
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Shrimp Paste
½ Tsp of Turmeric
2 Tsp of Tomato Puree
2 Red Chillies, sliced
200g of boiled Rice
400ml of Fish Stock
150g of small Prawns
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
A handful of Coriander, chopped
2 Tbsp of Oil
Bonito Flakes to garnish

Method:-

(1) Heat the grill to a high heat.
(2) Brush the Sardines with a little Oil and grill for 4 minutes on each side.
(3) Remove and set aside.
(4) Heat a little Oil in a frying pan and cook the Eggs to a thin Omelette.
(5) Slide onto a plate to cool.#
(6) Add a little more Oil to the pan and then add the Chopped Spring Onions, Garlic, Shrimp Paste, Turmeric, Tomato Puree and half of the Chillies.
(7) Stir everything together to form a paste and add the boiled Rice, Prawns and Fish Stock.
(8) Season with Soy Sauce and stir for 5 minutes.
(9) Roll the Omelette and cut into strips, adding the the pan.
(10) Cut the Fish into chunks and the the pan.
(11) Stir gently for a further minutes.
(12) Serve garnished with Shredded Spring Onions, the remaining Chillies, Coriander, Bonito |Flakes and a dash of Soy Sauce.

Although the preparation took Sue quite some time the flavour combination was really different. Certainly a recipe we’ll repeat. Who knows when though?!

Cajun Chicken Burger with Spiced Rum Hot Sauce

 

There’s a tale behind this very odd recipe. We were given a bottle of Fairfax handcrafted Chocolate and Walnut Rum. Quite some gift! It was bankrupt stock and the label was damaged, the loss adjusters didn’t want it, but we’re not complaining. However neither of us drink spirits…

We’re not really into sweets as such so Sue cobbled this Cajun Burger gig together and it was really really good. A bit of a treat which we’d certainly not be able to afford without the gifted Rum!

General Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts
Gluten free Bread Crumbs + 2 tea Spoons of Cajun Spice Mix
Gluten free Plain Flour
2 Eggs beaten
2 Gluten free Bread Buns
2 Eggs
Mayonnaise
Bacon
Cheese
Oil to fry

Ingredients for the marinade:-

Cajun Spice Mix
Sweet Paprika
Garlic Powder
Oregano
Salt & White Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
Cumin
Thyme
A hearty slug of Rum

Ingredients for the Hot Sauce:-

The remaining marinade
Hot Sauce
BBQ Sauce
More Rum!
Lime Juice
Caster Sugar

Method:-

(1) Mix all the marinade ingredients and add the Chicken Breasts.
(2) Allow to sit in the fridge covered overnight.
(3) Remove the Breasts from the marinade and pour the remaining marinade into a sauce pan.
(4) Add the remaining Hot Sauce ingredients to the pan.
(5) Dredge the Breasts in Flour, then coat in the whisked Egg then dredge in the Bread Crumbs.
(6) Set your Hot sauce to simmer over a very low heat.
(7) Grill your Bacon until it is crispy and set aside.
(8) Fry the Chicken Breasts gently turning occasionally until cooked through and golden on both sides.
(9) Place the Bacon over the Chicken Breasts and then add a Cheese which will melt.
(10) Place under the grill.
(11) Dress the base of the bun with Mayonnaise and the top with your reduced and cooled Hot Sauce.
(12) Fry the Eggs until the Yoke is still runny.
(13) Build your Burger with the Eggs on top and secure with a skewer.

Served simply with some chips this was outstanding. I’m guessing we’ll never be able to order this in a restaurant and if we could we’d probably have to sell our souls and our Cat to afford it!!!!!
