Thai stir-fried minced Beef with Basil and Chilli

Thai stir-fried minced Beef with Basil and ChilliThis recipe IS NOT for the faint hearted!
 
Ingredients:-
 
For the sauce
 
35ml fish sauce
2 bird’s-eye chillies, finely sliced
1 garlic clove, very finely sliced
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp coriander, finely chopped
 
For the beef
 
6 red or green bird’s eye chillies (fewer if you want it less hot)
4 small garlic cloves
3 tbsp vegetable oil, plus more for deep-frying the eggs
200g good-quality, coarsely minced beef
good pinch of caster sugar
about 2 tbsp fish sauce
big handful of Thai basil  (or holy basil from specialist Asian shops)
2 large eggs
 
Method:-
 
(1) For the serving sauce, mix together the fish sauce, chillies and garlic and set aside for the flavours to meld.
(2) Meanwhile, for the beef, coarsely chop the chillies with the garlic and a pinch of salt.
(3) Heat about 10cm of oil in a saucepan (for the deep-fried eggs) while you cook the beef. 
(4) Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a wok then fry the garlic and chilli mixture, but don’t let it colour. Add the beef and stir-fry for a minute, until only just cooked. 
(5) Season to taste with the sugar and fish sauce but be careful not to make it too salty. Add 50ml water and gently simmer for a minute, but don’t let it boil or the meat will become tough. There should be enough liquid to make a bit of a sauce.
(6) Stir in the basil and remove from the heat.
(7) Fry your eggs. To deep-fry, have the oil really hot and crack in an egg so it’s submerged. Fry until the white is crispy and the yolk still runny. Drain well. 
(8) Add the lime and coriander  to the sauce and serve alongside the beef with Rice noodles and a fried egg on top of each dish.

Swansea Breakfast recipe, eat well on universal credit

The recipe called this a “Traditional” Swansea Breakfast which seems to be a bit contentious. Traditional or not to was packed with flavour.

Pickled Cockles are interesting price wise. 89p in one shop and £2.00 in another shop within sight? Clearly I bought the more expensive ones although they were exactly the same brand - If you believe this you probably need an appointment with somebody about your mental function. Best of luck getting any sort of NHS appointment however!!!!!

Ingredients:-

1 Large Onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp of Oil to fry
4 Rashers of Bacon, chopped
100g of Cooked Cockles
120g of Laverbread
The Juice of a Lemon
Black Pepper to taste

Method:-

(1) Heat the Oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the Onions until softened.
(2) Add the Bacon and cook until crisp.
(3) Add the Cockles and mix in the Laverbread.
(4) Season with freshly ground Black Pepper and the Lemon Juice.

We used this a the centrepiece for a Breakfast with Sausages, Fried Egg, Fried home made Cheese & Chive Bread and Hash Browns. But it beat us. All that was required was the Fried Bread. This is a recipe we’ll certainly be doing time after time!
