Spring Soup

Spring Soup recipe - eat well on universal credit


When we made the Slow roast Pork Shank on Thursday we had about a pint of Stock and vegetable left over. Sue usually keeps any stock we have left over anyway, but this just had Soup written all over it. So with the addition of a few herbs from the  Edible York planters ( http://www.edibleyork.org.uk ) we’ve just had a pretty tasty soup for a grand total of not a bean!

Ingredients for the previous Stock:-

1 Carrot
1 Onion
1 Potato
1 Bay leaf
A sprig of fresh Fennel Tops
1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
1 tbsp Coriander seeds
4 cloves of Garlic
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt

Additional herbs:-

A handful of mixed fresh herbs:-

Fennel Tops
Chives
Lovage
Parsley

Method:-

(1) Add the Stock and herbs to a blender and blitz.
(2) In a saucepan heat to a rolling simmer.
(3) add a little fresh ground Black Pepper to top to and a sprig of Parsley.

Enjoy – We did…..

Traditional Welsh Breakfast recipe, eat well on universal credit

Sue has family in Wales and we were looking for another recipe project. So Welsh recipes it is….

Ingredients for the Laver Cakes:-

2 Tbsp of Laverbread (We bought this in a tin as it’s a long walk to Wales to harvest out own!)
3 Tbsp of Gluten Free Quinona Flakes
2 Tbsp of Buckwheat Flour
2 Tbsp of Cockles

Method:-

(1) Combine all the ingredients.
(2) Divide into two patties.
(3) Fry in a little Oil on a medium heat for 3 minutes on each side.
(4) Dress with a little Laver and a few Cockles to serve.

Apart from the Laver Cakes the other components were, A fried Egg, Pork and Caramelised Onion Sausages, Bacon, Baked Beans, Baby Tomatoes and fried foraged Pine Bolete Mushrooms.

The Laver Cakes are Sue’s modification using Quinona Flake to replace the Oats, so the Cakes are Gluten Free. If you can tolerate Oats, that would be more tradition. But they were really good!
