Victor’s Shout Collection

0

victors abergele

We have some wonderful support in the community, that act as Collection Points for the Victor’s Shout Programme. 

They are either a point for collecting specific products, like tinned beans or tomatoes, or any tinned produce ( tomatoes, beans, fruits, vegetables or fish).

This all goes to our central point for checking and sorting by our team, and then is redistributed across the County in the various programmes. 

We have a wonderful relationship with St George Primary School in Abergele, who organises a “Bring  Tin” day once a month, and help Les, our driver, to get the tins on the van. We also have support from the Rugby Team based in Eirias Park, who do collections at various games during the year.

And then there are the annual collections, for example, with local businesses, who donate towards the Christmas deliveries. Every bit helps and we are grateful to the goodwill of the community in all ways.

Pat’s Lemon Curd

0

Who knew Lemon Curd was so easy to make until Pat, one of our volunteers, shared her recipe, using just three other ingredients.
 
Here is the recipe and method – thanks Pat! 
 
4 eggs
4oz butter
4 lemons
1lb sugar
 
Whisk the eggs in a heatproof basin.
 
Add the butter (in smallish pieces), the lemon zest and juice from your lemons, and the sugar.
 
Put the basin over a pan of simmering water and stir it every 15 minutes or so until it thickens.
Strain if you don’t like “bits” then pot and keep in the fridge.
 
Pat says “I give mine a couple of minutes in the microwave to kickstart it, but stop before it turns to scrambled eggs!”
 
Makes two jam jars.
Enjoy xxx

Claire’s Cauliflower & Chickpea Curry

0

Chickpeas are sometimes on the shopping list in Foodshare…a great source of protein and fibre, and can be added to lots of dishes instead of meat, with a tasty nutty texture..
For anyone considering their health, chickpeas are brilliant for blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels , and even adding a tin to a stew is a great way to support your health in a small way.

One of our customers sent a message sharing a quick nutritious meal she put together, with a bit of flavour added from her store cupboard.

So..here it is.. Claire’s Vegan Cauliflower Korma …
Less than £1 with ingredients from FoodShare North Wales this week.

Serves 2-4 depending on size of cauliflower and number of tins of chickpeas

Ingredients:
1 whole cauliflower
1 onion
1-2 tins of chickpeas
1 tin of full fat coconut milk
Optional frozen/fresh spinach
Spices – salt, black pepper, turmeric, curry powder blend

Method
1. Sprinkle 2 tsp curry powder blend into bottom of large frying pan or saucepan. Add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp turmeric. Turn heat on very low to roast spices.
2. ⁠Finely chop th onion and add to the spices.
3. ⁠Chop your fresh cauliflower into small florets.
3. ⁠Drop the cauliflower into the spices and coat as much of the cauliflower as possible with the spices.
4. ⁠Drain the chickpeas and rinse in cold water, then add them into the pan.
5. ⁠Open the tin of coconut milk and scoop out everything into the pan.
6. ⁠Stir everything, then leave to cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally to stop from sticking.

Banana Pancakes

How about some delicious vegan pancakes as a weekend treat?
 
Take 2 very ripe bananas and mash well in a bowl.
 
Mix with 100g self raising flour, 100ml soya milk and chuck a handful of raisins or sultanas in…
 
You can add a teaspoon of cinnamon if you like…
 
Beat to form a smooth batter then add to a pan with some oil and make your pancakes ( the mixture bubbles around the edges when it’s ready to flip!)…
 
Delicious!
 
You can use regular milk if you like, or try your milk from your FoodShare North Wales order….this was just a vegan idea from the inspiring foodie Jack Monroe cookbook ‘ a girl called Jack’…https://oursouthend.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/banana-pancakes/
 
Serve with some fruit, bacon, syrup, sugar or peanut butter….
 
And at less than 50p per recipe, its great value too.

Megan’s Air Fryer Swede “chips”

0

This vegetable is also a lot lower in starch than potatoes, so good for anyone watching carbs in the diet…its also a good source of vitamin C.

Remove the outer skin and then chop your swede into wedges…add a couple of spoons of oil to a tub and a teaspoon of something to give a kick ( I used paprika , cumin, a touch of chilli flakes and some black pepper).

Chuck in the swede, put a lid on the tub and shake till coated.

Put in the airfryer at 200°C for 20 mins ( check after 15 mins and give a shake)..

Serve and enjoy !
