CHICKEN SOUP

RECIPE CREATED FOR YAHOO! LIFESTYLE

If you were a real hipster, you would call this a “bone broth” but really, its just a soup. Nourishing, flavourful and perfect as a way to add flavour to curries, tagines, casseroles without the packet stuff!

Making this soup is a bit of an art, its not an exact recipe, basically all you need is water and chicken and then whatever else you throw in there will add / develop the flavour. 

Prep 00:15

Cook 03:00

Easy

WHAT’S IN IT?

1 x 1.2kg whole organic chicken / 1.2kg chicken feet / 1.2 kg chicken carcases or a mix of these 

1 tbs Cobram Estate extra virgin olive oil

1 brown onion, roughly chopped

2 medium carrots, roughly chopped

2 stalks celery, roughly chopped

1 whole head garlic, cut in half 

 5 cm knob ginger, roughly chopped

2 star anise 

8 pepper corns 

Soft herbs - whatever you may have leftover in the fridge 

Anything else that is looking a bit rough in your fridge

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: 

Step 1. In a large pot* over medium high add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and ginger. Cook until vegetables are aromatic. Season with salt.

Step 2. Add chicken and cover fully with water. Bring water to the boil (this may take up to half an hour), add any of your soft herbs at this stage and reduce heat to a slow simmer cooking for 3 hour or until chicken is cooked. 

Step 3. Once cooked and cooled slightly strain off soup using a strainer lined with a clean chux. This will give you a base soup recipe that you can do so many things with. 

———————————-

Recipe notes and tips: 

* You pot will need to be big enough to hold a whole chicken plus liquid.

SIMPLE FLATBREADS

RECIPE CREATED FOR YAHOO! LIFESTYLE

These breads are so versatile and easy to make you will be whipping them up for every meal. Perfect for that Indian feed you have been craving, or using them as a wrap for grilled chicken, even as little pizza bases. These flat breads are perfect.

Prep 00:10 (plus 30mins resting time*)

Cook 00:10 

Makes 6

Easy

WHAT’S IN IT?

250g self raising flour

250g natural yoghurt

1 tbs Cobram Estate extra virgin olive oil

1 tbs sea salt

Ghee / Butter / Oil, to cook

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: 

In a large bowl combine all ingredients, mixing well to come together to form a rough dough. Remove from bowl and knead for 5mins on a floured surface. Shape dough into a ball and cover loosely with a damp towel. Rest for 30mins. 

Divide dough into thirds, and cut each third in half. You should now have 6 pieces. Working one dough ball at a time, using a rolling pin (or a bottle of wine) roll out to 2-3mm thickness - these don't need to be pretty and they don't need to be a perfect shape, think of a little mini naan bread. 

Place pan (you could use fry pan, skillet, griddle pan or even your bbq) over high heat. Working in batches, brush on a little of your ghee / butter / oil onto pan and cook 1-2mins each side or until golden and beginning to puff up. 

As you cook your breads wrap them in a tea towel to keep warm while you cook remaining dough. 

Recipe notes and tips: 

* The resting time is not necessary, but it will give you the best results.

JAX'S POTATO SALAD

I thought that my potato salad was the best, but just recently we celebrated a joint birthday (Jax, myself, my grandma and my cousin) and Jax made this incredible, herby, creamy, fresh potato salad and I just have to share the recipe. I think the key to a good potato salad is to NOT put onion in it!!!!

Heat ghee in a 22cm ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add spring onion and zucchini and cook, tossing regularly, for 2 minutes. Add garlic and peas, stir to combine and cook for a further minute, then add spinach and cook for a minute more until just wilted.

Pour in egg mixture. As it begins to set at the edges, use a spatula to draw the cooked egg towards the centre (without breaking it up), allowing the uncooked egg to run towards the edges. Cook for 2-3 minutes until base and sides are starting to firm up, then place under the preheated grill and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until puffed and firm

Top omelette with prawns, avocado, chilli and extra herbs and spring onion and serve with lime wedges.
