A Great Recipe from Billy & Mitch

February 2, 2012
Those of you who frequent the fabulous Kirkstall Deli Market will be familiar with Billy and Mitch, Kiwi, meets South African in Leeds and we're so pleased they did. On Saturday they are bringing along their home cured Biltong and will have a selection of innovative pates and sandwich fillings as well.

I asked for recipes and, without giving their secrets away, they sent me this for Zucchini Fritters ...

Our Guide to making Zucchini Fritters

There is a PDF version of this in our newsletter, sign up here

 

Ingredients - the Veg can be bought from Neils in Leeds Kirkgate Market, right next door to Corn Exchange

1 Large Zucchini -

½ Regular sized Red Onion

2 Cloves Garlic

50-100g Cheddar Cheese

2 Eggs

1 TSP Cumin

Flour. Mix till the right consistency

 

First get all your ingredients and equipment ready so you can see clearly what you're about to do.

When setting up your board, always place a damp towel underneath your board. This prevents your board from slipping and help stop accidents.

First brunoise (finely dice) your onion and garlic and place them in your mixing bowl. You can grate if you wish, but be ready to cry!

Next grate the zucchini, garlic and cheese into a mixing bowl. Add your eggs, red onion, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix in flour until it's got a batter like consistency.

Once you're happy with your mix, get a pan on a medium heat. Have your oven ready at 180 degrees celcius. Fry each side in oil until golden brown and flip after 1-2 mins. Place your fritters on a tray and cook for upto 5 mins depending on how thick your fritter are.

Serve and enjoy. Fritters go great with a paprika and mint yoghurt and a fresh garden salad. Simple, healthy, cheap and most importantly, delicious!

Over Christmas he came up with the idea of a 'Grown Up' Chocolate spread, Ian said ...

 I sometimes think that anything as lush as chocolate spread is wasted on the young, so over Christmas / New Year  I started experimenting with a much more grown-up product. Not too sweet, not too ...

Paganum Produce – The Home of Yorkshire Chorizo

January 31, 2012

Why are we called Paganum? Simple, it's Latin for “Rural Tradition”. We chose the name because rural tradition is something that we're passionate about. Traditional methods of farming for slower grown, happier animals. Traditional and rare breeds able to thrive in the outdoor life of the Yorkshire Dales. Traditional ways of hanging, preparing and cutting meat for a fuller flavour. And traditional standards of service where every customer counts.

Butchery runs deep in our family, the orig...
