Welsh Whole Chicken Stew (Ffowlin Cymreig)

Welsh Whole Chicken Stew (Ffowlin Cymreig) recipe, eat well on universal credit

This was a really hearty dish. There was sufficient Chicken left for us to make three large Pasties. The remaining broth made several bowls of Soup. I would say this would easily feed 4 hungry folk.

Ingredients:-

A Medium Chicken
6 Rashers of Bacon chopped
2 Leeks, thickly sliced
2 Large Carrots, thickly chopped
2 Tbsp of Cornflour to thicken
½ a Small White Cabbage, coarsely shredded
500ml of Chicken Stock
1 Tsp of Mixed Herbs
Salt & Pepper to season
Chopped Parsley

Method:-

(1) Rub about 1/2 teaspoon Salt in body cavity.
(2) Dice the Bacon and fry until crisp and brown in a Dutch oven. Remove and set aside.
(3) Brown the Chicken in the Bacon fat on all sides. Remove Chicken from pan.
(4) Add the Leeks and return the Bacon bits along with diced Carrots.
(5) Cook until lightly browned.
(6) Add the Chicken Stock.
(7) Mix the Cornflour with a little water and stir in.
(8) Add coarsely chopped Cabbage and season with Salt & Pepper.
(9) Stir to mix thoroughly until the Cabbage is slightly wilted.
(10) Heat, stirring frequently, until simmering.
(11) Add the chopped Parsley and Mixed Herbs.
(12) When the stew is simmering gently return the Chicken.
(13) Cover and simmer very slowly until chicken is very tender.
(14) Roughly cut the Chicken into chunks.
(14) Garnish with Chopped Parsley and serve in large bowls with crusty Bread.

The Chicken was remarkably tender and really tasty. Well worth the slightly longer than usual cooking process.

Tokneneng recipe eat well on universal credit

‘T’ In our Vegetarian Alphabet goes to the Philippines. Nice one guys with the battered Egg as a street food. However we thought we’d make it just a little bit more messy with a runny yolk!

Ingredients:-

Eggs to boil!
2 Eggs, whisked for the batter
Cornflour
Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
Turmeric
Hot Chilli Powder
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Heat a pan of water to boiling.
(2) Use a slotted spoon to lower the Eggs into the water and allow to boil for 6 minutes.
(3) Lift the Eggs from the pan and swap the water for cold.
(4) Pop the Eggs back in the cold water and set aside.
(5) Add Cornflour to a bowl to coat the Eggs.
(6) Heat a fryer to 160c.
(7) Mix the Eggs, Cornflour,Plain Flour, Turmeric,Chilli Powder, Onion & Garlic salt – with enough Soda water to make a really sticky batter.
(8) Shell the Eggs very carefully and roll in the Cornflour.
(9) Coat in batter and lower into hot oil at 170c making sure they don’t stick to the bottom.
(10) Once they are browned and floating lift out and drain on kitchen paper.

These are clearly ‘Street Food’ and not intended as a main meal. But they are really good as a side with a dip and salad.
