Plum, pickled wild Mushroom and pickled Garlic sauce!

Plum, pickled wild Mushroom and pickled Garlic sauce

Initially this was intended as a dipping sauce…. As we have found with a lot of foraged items they have much stronger flavours than their shop bought counterparts. So this is going over a £1.38 rack of Pork ribs!

This was clearly an experiment and we’d not expect anybody in their right mind to have these ingredients to hand! But it’s good to experiment. You never know what you’ll invent for a few pence….

Ingredients:-

260g of frozen foraged Plums
4 large lumps of pickled Chicken Of The Woods
Lacto Fermented Garlic Cloves
A slug of Soy Sauce and Fish Sauce
2 table spoons of Sugar
Enough Tomato sauce to make the sauce wet enough to pour over your meat

Shop bought Mushrooms, fresh Garlic and bought Plums would probably result in something good, but maybe not quite as strong flavoured.

Method:-

(1) Thaw the plums. We used the Microwave but it doesn’t matter if you heat them gently in a pan with a little water.
(2) Simmer the Plums in a little water until you can squash them with a fork.
(3) Press through a colander to separate the stones, keeping to juice, pulp and skins.
(4) Allow to cool so you don’t damage your blender.
(5) Blend everything apart from the Tomato Sauce to a fine texture.
(6) Add back to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes.
(7) Add enough Tomato Sauce to make your sauce liquid enough to pour.

Bread Machine Gluten Free Bread recipe, eat well on universal credit

We just followed the basic GF recipe for our first loaf. But we can both confirm:-

(1) This actually tastes as good as ‘Real’ Bread.
(2) It is outstanding a fried Bread on a full English Breakfast.

Ingredients:-

180g of Water
30g of Olive Oil
5g of Cider Vinegar
15g of Egg Whites
8g of Salt
30g of Sugar
300g of Gluten Free Bread Flour Mix
2g of Baking Powder
7g of Yeast

In our Bread Maker it’s setting ‘9’, clearly this will depend on the machine. Although these machines still clearly use the Chorleywood bread process, this loaf was a near to a Gluten containing loaf from a bakery as we’ve had in the last 5 years. It makes the grey flavourless sliced version from the supermarkets seem a shameful waste of money.

On another note. The machine should have been £99.95 but was reduced to £60. Which we felt was a pretty good price. However there was a pricing error and it actually only cost £40. We’re on our second loaf as I type. Our new toy will have paid it’s way in less than a month at this rate!!!!
