A traditional Faggots Recipe

Faggots Recipe Number Two

Another traditional faggots recipe. Traditional cooking from any country has as many recipes as there are cooks. There is no right way to do it just find one that works for you develop it to your taste and then stick to it! On this occasion the recipe works by replacing some of the liver with lambs kidneys and beefing up the sage to give a more intense flavour. The sauce has the addition of some sugar and red wine vinegar which again intensifies the taste of the gravy and allows it to complement the more robust herby flavour of this Faggots Recipe.

Prawn and Samphire Risotto Recipe

A taste of the sea in this recipe. In this Prawn and Samphire Risotto Recipe the Samphire lifts this dish wonderfully contrasting perfectly the creaminess of the risotto with the fresh saltiness of the Samphire. If you ever see it buy it when you can. it is only available from May to August and not a lot of it gets exported from the county of Norfolk where it grown along the marshy coast.

For this Prawn and Samphire Risotto Recipe – You will need:

Ingredients (Serves 4/6)

  • 750gm large cooked prawns in their shells
  • 100gm washed and trimmed Samphire
  • 100gm butter
  • 3 banana shallots finely chopped
  • 1250ml l litre fish stock
  • 125ml white wine
  • v2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 250gm of Arborio Rice
  • 30gm freshly grated parmesan
  • 50ml single cream
  • 1 Star Anise
  • 8 spring onions chopped

Method

  1. Peel the Prawns
  2. Add 25gm of the butter to a pan and heat gently
  3. Add the shallots, garlic, star anise and prawn shells and cook very gently for about ten minutes
  4. Add the stock and bring to the boil
  5. Simmer for 20 minutes
  6. Strain the stock
  7. Melt the 50gm remaining butter in a large pan and cook gently for two minutes
  8. Add the rice and stir until all the grains are coated
  9. Pour in the wine and stir until it has all been absorbed
  10. Add a ladle of stock and continue stirring until the stock has been absorbed
  11. Repeat until all the stock is used up
  12. Add the prawns and samphire and stir for one minute
  13. Finish with the remaining butter, cream and parmesan
  14. Serve immediately
The risotto should be slightly runny not stodgy. If you lift the serving bowl up at an angle the risotto should move slowly across the plate. The above picture shows  a heaped risotto.  If your risotto looks like this it will probably be too heavy. A heaped risotto makes for better photographs but not better eating.

Enjoy!

A Harrira Recipe from Real Recipes

Harrira Recipe

This Harrira Recipe is a casserole rather than the more traditional Moroccan soup often eaten after Ramadan. This Arabic Casserole Recipe is perfect with Arab flatbread – make it yourself – fresh flatbread is so different than the dry and insipid pitta breads you can buy in the UK. The longer you leave it before eating the more flavour it will have. Like many one pot recipes it is easy to make and hard to get wrong. Add a little chilli to spice it up – I would!
