Beery Pulse Patty with Duck Egg



Ingredients:

  1. Bottle of Brain’s Boilermaker or a strong, dark ale that’s not too bitter
  2. 1 medium white onion finely chopped (or red, or a bunch of spring onions)
  3. 2 fat garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
  4. Two handfuls of finely chopped spinach or other greens
  5. Thumb-size piece of ginger, grated or finely julienned
  6. 1tbsp rogan josh paste (I used Patak’s)
  7. 1/2 squash cut into half inch squares
  8. 1/2 aubergine cut into half inch squares
  9. 1tbsp plain or gram flour
  10. 2 duck eggs (room temperature)
  11. Oil and unsalted butter or ghee

To serve: Two tablespoons of kashmiri chilli chutney, mixed with four tbsps of ketchup and your soft herb of choice, chopped and sprinkled over (I used chives, you can use basil, coriander, parsley, chervil, dill or mint)

Method:

§  Cook your lentils according to instructions with a mix of 50% water & 50% beer, ensure there’s no liquid left & leave to cool

§  Prep your veg and steam the squash for 10 mins and the aubergine for five minutes (use this time to make your sauce & chop your herbs)

§  Heat a large frying pan to a medium heat, add a little oil (I use groundnut) and add your squash and aubergine and fry until beginning to brown slightly

§  Add the onions and allow to soften, after a few minutes add the garlic, ginger and rogan josh paste, cook for a few minutes, you’ll smell when it’s done, the rawness of the garlic will recede and the flavours will come together

§  Add the greens until they wilt

§  Add lentils back into the pan and sprinkle the flour until it all starts to come together and hold, you may not need it all, just depends how wet the mix is

§  Remove from pan to allow to cool for a few minutes, wipe the pan and pop the oven on low

§  Return the pan to the heat and add the butter

§  Make a rough circle or patty with the lentil/veg mix and gently fry (I used a faffy cheffy ring for this and the egg to amuse myself, but you don’t need to)

§  Pop on plates and put in the oven

§  Wipe the pan and add a little more butter, cook your duck eggs, runny is best

§  Pop duck egg on patty, sprinkle with necessary herbs and sauce, pop the yolk and apply to mouth

§  Enjoy!

Braised Beef with Leeks, Orange and Cinnamon

Braised Beef with Leeks, Orange and Cinnamon According to the weather forecast, it’s basically supposed to rain for the next 800 years.  This morning I ran a very soggy 3 miles around the neighborhood and came back looking like a drowned rat.  Something about rain always makes me yearn for straight-up comfort food, and nothing is more intensely comforting than a steaming bowl of rich, savory, soul-quenching stew.  And the star ingredient (which I forgot to include in the lineup above):    Ingredients:   1 tsp salt & 1 tsp pepper (plus more to taste) 1 tbsp flour 1 lb beef chuck, cubed 2 tbsp canola oil, 1 tbsp olive oil 1 Spanish onion, small dice 1 large carrot, small dice 1 celery stalk, small dice 2 leeks, white and green parts only, sliced in rings 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1 fresh bay leaf, or 2 dried 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped 1 stick of ci...

Beery Refried Bean Breakfast Tortilla

Beer for Breakfast Let’s not beat around the bush, sometimes doing this job means having one too many drinks – I know you’re shocked but I felt I had to say it. And there is nothing, and I mean nothing, like a bloody great breakfast of some sort the day after. But much as I am a fan of the full English, I do sometimes crave something that ticks both the slightly healthier and spicier boxes a bit better – so this morning I came up with this – the Beery Refried Bean Breakfast Tortilla. Frankly it’d be pretty good any time but as a hangover breakfast it was magnificent! So, without further ado, here it is, the picture isn’t totally true to the recipe as I’ve added a few things I wished I’d had in the fridge –  leave me a comment if you enjoyed it or would like to suggest your own twist. Beery Refried Bean Breakfast Tortilla You can just buy refried beans, but they tend to just be a mushy mess that doesn’t taste of a lot, I like that these have a bit more texture, p...
