Hazel Nuts in a Stir-Fry

We have a local Hazel Tree which is not the victim of the Squirrels. It’s actually just within the grounds of a student accommodation enclosure. It’s on a bank so the nuts roll towards the footpath and the students, seemingly, have no idea what a Hazel Nut is unless it’s covered in chocolate.

So at this time of year it’s a win-win for us. We’ve tried a few bits and bobs with them. ( They are here ) This recipe worked really well. The lightly toasted Nuts take on the flavours of the Garlic and Ginger, while still having their characteristic sweetness.

If you’re awash with Hazel Nuts and are willing to spend a bit of time toasting and bashing them, this is well worth the effort!

Crispy coated Liver & Heart recipe

Yes, yes I know it sounds dreadful! But actually this turned out to be a remarkably tasty and filling meal. Ideal Autumn fodder and as the Liver, Heart and Carrots came to 79p between them, we had plenty in the ‘Budget’ to play with and dress our dinner up a bit….

Ingredients:-

Beef Liver
Lamb Heart
Milk
Seasoned Gluten free Flour (Garlic salt, Onion Salt and Mixed Herbs, Salt & Pepper)

Method:-

(1) Our Liver and Heart were already sliced. But if not slice them so that they are a reasonable size to fry.
(2) Soak the Liver and Heart in Milk for a couple of hours in the fridge.
(3) Mix your seasoned Flour. The seasoning is really up to you.
(4) Pre-heat a fryer to 180c.
(5) Drain the Milk and coat the meat in the seasoned Flour.
(6) Fry in small batches until golden brown and drain on kitchen paper.

We served ours on a bed of mashed Potatoes with Onion Gravy. Surrounded by battoned Carrots, Kale & Bacon, topped with crackling Kale with some crispy Seas weed as a side.
