Turkey Parmigiana with roasted Hazelnuts

Turkey Parmigiana with roasted Hazelnuts

I found some Turkey breast steaks for the bank melting price of £0.88 and as I ended up flat bound by the weather yesterday we decided to play in the kitchen. Chicken Parmigiana is one thing, but we think we took it to another level. But I guess we would really?!

1 jar of Passata
1 squirt of Tomato Puree

Turkey Steaks

Ingredients:-

Turkey Breast steaks
Bread Crumbs (Gluten free in our case)
Toasted and ground Hazelnuts (The last of this years foraged nuts – Sobs a little!)
Grated Italian style hard cheese and grated mature Cheddar.
1 Egg, beaten
Dried Parsley
Dried Basil
Milk
Flour
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper
Chilli flakes


Method:-

(1) Toast the Hazelnuts in their shells at 180C for 10 minutes on a tray and then allow to cool.
(2) Crack the shells and chop the nuts in a food processor.
(3) Mix the Breadcrumbs, half of the grated Italian style Cheese, Parsley and nuts and put in a bowl.
(4) Season the flour with Salt & Pepper, Chilli Flakes and put in a bowl.
(5) Mix the beaten Egg with a little Milk to make an Egg wash and add to a bowl.
(6) Heat the Oil in a large frying pan.
(7) Dip each Turkey steak firstly in seasoned Flour, then the Egg wash and finally the Breadcrumb mix.
(8) Fry on both sides on a moderate heat until the breadcrumbs are golden.
(9) Spoon a little Passata sauce over each steak.
(10) Sprinkle grated Cheddar over the top and then Italian style Cheese and a sprinkling of dried Basil.

We really enjoyed the intense flavours and the Turkey was both tender and moist. Serve with scalloped chips and a dressed salad perhaps?

Hazelnut encrusted Pork Chops recipe, eat well on universal credit

This bit of Loin cost us just over £3. We had a stir-fry the other evening and I cut these two thick Chops out of the rest of it. So Meat wise this was an ‘in budget’ meal. The Nuts were free, I just collect them when they fall. So all in all, not a bad gig price wise….

Ingredients:-

2 Thick Pork Chops
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
½ Tsp of Dried Rosemary
30g of Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
30g of Hazelnuts, Roasted and ground
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to season
2 Tbsp of Margarine (Dairy free for us), melted

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients.
(2) Pre-heat the oven to 180c.
(3) Press the crust paste onto both sides of the Chops.
(4) Place in the oven on a tray and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops.

We served ours with hand cut Chips, a little salad for colour, a fried Egg and Beans. This crust was really good. When we were sorting through the left-overs  this morning I chose the coating over the last bits of Meat - That never happens!
