A Humble Highland Kitchen- Winter ( Jump To The Recipe - Your Thoughts Please)

Hello and Welcome friends. Winter has definitely hit us with lots of snow and very low temperatures, so it's a great time for me to spend a bit more time in the kitchen trying out new recipes, cooking from scratch and eating out of our panty as much as we can. One of the challenges that I have set myself is to be even more less reliant on any supermarkets for our food. This was brought even more into focus when it was announced in the UK we will have an increased tax on food packaging, which will eventually be added onto the food prices. I'm so glad I/we started making the changes to the way we live and bringing this home when we did & hopefully others will start to empower themselves and build upon their own resilience too. For those that have never done anything like this before, take it step by step there are lots of people only too willing to help you along the way. Today I'm cooking some good old fashioned veggie broth with a cheese scone to go along the side. Broth is so versatile with different meats that can be added, which is the more traditional way of eating it(Chicken, Mutton, Beef) In this video I am making the veggie broth in 2 ways as there are some veg that Adam doesn't like so it starts off the same & then I split it so we both get the veggies that we like. I'm not too good at weighing things out or following a recipe to the letter but this is the basics and you can adapt to suit your own tastes. 👩‍🍳 Basic Broth Recipe 200g Broth Soup mix (Pearl barley, green & yellow split peas, red lentils) 1 medium sized onion 1 leek 1 Small turnip 1 Stick or celery or celery greens 2/3 carrot depending on size 1 Litre Veg Stock (I make my own stock) (Add extra hot water/stock later if required) Optional Extras: Kale, Spring greens, Herbs, (Bay leaf-Don't forget to remove this before serving) Salt & Pepper to taste Butter/oil for frying the onion, leek etc 👩‍🍳 How to: Soak the broth mix over night with a tspn of bicarb of soda, rinse well before using. Chop up all the veg to approximately the same size so they cook evenly. In a pan melt the butter or heat the oil, add the onion, leek & celery, put the lid on the allow them to soften. Then all the other chopped veg, the broth mix and then the hot stock( I added 1/2 litre then topped it up with another 1/2 litre of hot water) Bring to a soft boil and then turn it down to gently simmer until all the veg are cooked and the broth mix is a soft consistency. Add any leafy veg in at the end to wilt down. This broth will thicken if you leave it so perfect for second day soup with some extra water or stock if needed. It also freezes well for your own healthy and budget friendly lunches or mid week dinners. Enjoy 👩‍🍳 Cheesy Scones 175g Self Raising Flour 25g Butter/Margarine 75g Strong Cheese- grated 1 egg beaten 2 Tblsp Milk 1/2 Tspn Mustard Powder Pinch Salt and Pepper 👩‍🍳How To: Mix Flour & Seasonings, rub in butter/marg & add in the grated cheese(Save some cheese for the top) Stir in the egg and the milk and bring into a dough. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to approx 1.5 cm thick & cut into desired shapes. (I've just cut them into rounds using a small dish. Place on a greased baking tray, brush the top of the scone with either egg wash or milk and sprinkle with cheese. Cook in a pre-heated oven 220C or 425F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy warm or cold. 🎥 Other videos you might enjoy: Convivence V Home Economy    • Convenience V Home Economy - Back To Basic...   ❓Query: Following a comment on another cooking style video regarding "Jumping to the recipe" I am wondering if I should either make my cooking videos more "How to" or should I start a new channel specifically to focus upon home cooking with ingredients that we actually recognise, where we can share out skills and recipes and bring or food costs down. Let me know what you think as you are a valued member of this community and I appreciate your thoughts. Many Thanks. Wishing you all well, until next time , take care.
