RE: Home-cooking
I would think the UK would be more curry than pizza!!
Here are two traditional Guernsey recipies.Being surrounded by water,the main dish has to be fish.
Ingredients:
Four Ormers,Flour,Butter,Fish Stock Cube,one Onion,one slice of bacon ,Water,Seasoning.
Method:
*Remove Ormers from their shells and scrub thoroughly
Wrap in baking parchment, cover with a dry cloth and beat until tender.
*Soak the Ormers for several hours
*Remove Ormers from soaking, retaining the water for use as stock.
*Season the flour then sprinkle over the Ormers and fry in the butter until lightly brown (approx 2 mins each side).
*Place the browned Ormers in a casserole dish with some finely chopped onion and chopped bacon. Pour over the the soaking stock and crumble a fish stock cube into the juice.
*Place the casserole in a very low oven (100C) for 4 hours.
Thicken the gravy if necessary and serve with mashed potatoes and green vegetables.
I’ve had it a few times and its delicious!The trouble is that it takes so long to make.Not many restraunts actually serve this anymore.
