Homemade healthy chips:

 

1. Put the oven to 220c.

2. Take some medium or large tatties (Maris Piper are best) and start slicing them by cutting them lengthways dauphinoise but 1cm thick. Then slice them again to make them look as if they're chips.

3. Put them in a baking tray and put some seasoning and oil spray, put it in the oven for 20 minutes.

4. It's ready to dish up! Why not add some flavour by adding grated cheese or new breaded cod from co-op (only takes 16 minutes to cook though)

 

I'd hope that people would give such nice comments on my chips.

Going to try one of the Bannock recipes this weekend I think, been looking for one for a while. Thought you might like a simple oat biscuit recipe. Looks complicated cos its a long list of ingredients but you just tip the melted liquid ingredients into the dry ones & mix so dont be put off.

 

3oz Plain Flour

3oz Oat meal

3oz Caster Sugar

½ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

(& personally I add 50g or so or ground almonds)

3oz Butter

1 tbs Milk

1 tbs Golden Syrup

Dash of vanilla & almond essence

(makes 15)

 

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Melt the butter in a pan with the wet ingredients then combine with the dry ingredients. Pop bowl in the fridge for the mix to stiffen while oven is warming up to 150ºc. Roll mix into small balls & bake for 20-25 minutes. Leave to cool on tray & harden for couple of minutes before putting on rack.

My twist on macaroni n cheese.

 

Chorizo Sausage

small onion/shallot

cherry tomatoes

Pasta of your choice

Cheese of your choice

 

start by getting the pasta on and boiling away.

Chop up the sausage, onion and Tomatoes.

place the sausage in a frying pan without any oil and let it fry away gently when the fat of the sausage starts to sweat out add you onions and keep on frying gently. by the time the onions are cooked the pasta should be cooked. drain the pasta and ensure all water is evaporated. Add the tomatoes to the sausage and onion mix and cook for a minute until they soften and then add the pasta to the frying pan and mix together, as mixing add grated cheese and serve immediately.

 

That sounds yummy. You might also like to try reestit mutton used in the same way as the sausage. I also find mushrooms work well in there.

mix together (not too much mixing) voe bannock flour(better than south flour) and shetland buttermilk we a good pinch of salt to make a claggy dough, take a golf ball sized piece spread out on floured surface do not roll and cook on a hot griddle, best bannocks I'm had yet.

boil up fish heads crangs whatever left ower bits efter filleting, to make a good strong fish stock. Strain and boil some diced tatties in the stock.

fry an onion and add to the tatties with a couple o smoked haddock fillets chopped into 1" chunks and fresh or frozen garden peas, simmier for 2 minutes and add shetland cream, garnish with fresh parsley.

goes good with the bannocks

Bobdahog - exactly how i make them too! they are delicious! i am the same with the quantities - the more you make the easier it becomes to get the right consistency. The only thing i do different it to make it into a big round moulding by hand and cut into the sizes i want - depends on who will be eating.

Been trying different oatcake recipes and this is the one that came out best:

 

Joyce’s Oatcakes

 

5 oz marg melted

4 cups oatmeal {medium}

1 cup SR Flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda

1 cup cold water

 

Mix together with a knife, work into a dough, {using hands works best}

Either flour the surface lightly, or sprinkle some oatmeal, or use a Tupperware plastic/silicon baking sheet. Roll out to required thickness {1/4�} thinner is crispier

Cut into squares / triangles / rounds / the geometric shape of your desire.

Bake on a tray at 240C/ 500F / Gas 9 for 10-15 mins, or longer for
