Fine Foods… & Fine Bird Foods!

The RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) and the BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) now advocate all year round feeding of garden birds.

Many birds die during the breeding season because of natural food shortages. It’s been shown that year round feeding gives them, and their resulting chicks, a better chance of survival.

Providing hanging bird feeders in your garden is an excellent way to feed seeds, peanuts and specialist seed mixes to the more agile species such as Blue Tits, Greenfinches and House Sparrow.

Lomas Foods now offer a range of wild bird foods, along with seed and peanut feeders, designed with the needs of the birds in mind including:

Wild Bird Peanuts

Ideal for many garden birds including Blue Tits, Woodpeckers, Finches and Nuthatches.

Sunflower Hearts

Tits, Finches, Woodpeckers and many other garden birds love high energy sunflower hearts.

Niger Seed

Attracts Goldfinches, Chaffinches, Bullfinches, Linnets and Siskins (Use a special niger seed feeder)

Wild Bird Food available from Lomas Foods in Buxton

Henderson’s Relish Recipe – Garlic Chicken

Here’s a really tasty recipe suggestion from our friends at Henderson’s Relish – The Spicy Yorkshire Sauce. Henderson’s Relish is unique in its aroma and flavour. It can be used as both a sauce on meat dishes, soups, and marinades.

Ingredients

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
15g fresh tarragon
1/2 bulb of fresh garlic
6 fresh chicken legs
2 tbsp of dry white wine
6 bay leaves
15g of fresh thyme
15g fresh rosemary
300 ml chicken stock
2 tbsp of Henderson’s Relish

Cooking Instructions

Using a pestle and mortar, grind the tarragon with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon oil and 3 cloves garlic, to create a paste.

Make a small pocket under the skin at the top of each chicken thigh and stuff 1 teaspoon of the tarragon mixture into it. Spread the rest of the mixture over the legs.

Place the chicken pieces in a plastic food bag with the wine and remaining garlic, which should be thickly sliced. Expel as much air from the bag as possible and marinate in the fridge for about an hour.

After leaving to marinate, remove the chicken and pat dry on kitchen paper. Strain the marinade and reserve the garlic, discarding the wine. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.

In a large flameproof casserole dish, heat the remaining olive oil over a medium-high heat and fry the chicken legs skin-side down until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Allow the pan to cool down, then place the herbs and reserved garlic in the casserole dish. Add the chicken pieces, skin-side up, before adding the stock and Henderson’s Relish.

Cover with greaseproof paper and place in the oven, immediately turning the temperature down to 140°C, gas mark 1. Cook for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and there is no pink meat. Serve the chicken.

Yorkshire’s Best Kept Secret – Now Available In Buxton

Henderson’s Relish – The Spicy Yorkshire Sauce

Henderson’s Relish is unique in its aroma and flavour. It can be used as both a sauce on meat dishes, soups, and marinades.

Unlike other comparable sauces, the relish is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

The special mix of spices is combined with a secret recipe producing Hendersons unique sauce. The way in which the sauce is blended is still a closely guarded secret and at least once a year a rumour sweeps through Sheffield that the owner is retiring and taking the secret recipe with him. Upon hearing this supermarket shelves are cleared as people stock up on their favourite sauce.

Fortunately all these rumours are unfounded and Hendersons is going from strength to strength – and is now available in our Spring Gardens store.

Honey-Glazed Pork Sausages with Black Pudding

To help make your summer barbies a real treat, Lomas Foods will be publishing some of our favourite barbecue recipes on this website over the coming months, as well as ideas for salads, salsas, dips and accompaniments…

Honey-Glazed Pork Sausages with Black Pudding

For something a little different, why not try our best-selling Pork Sausages with Black Pudding coated in a really tasty honey and chilli glaze?

Ingredients…

12 – 18 Pork Sausages with Black Pudding
Metal or Wooden Skewers

Honey & Chilli Marinade

4 tablespoons Red Wine
125ml Honey
1 Small Red Chilli, Finely Chopped and Seeded
1 teaspoon Mustard Powder

Straighten each sausage and thread carefully onto skewers through the centre of the sausage. Combine the ingredients for the marinade and set aside.

When the BBQ is ready, gently roll the sausages back and forth on the grill until there is a colour change – this gradually expands the skins and stops the sausage casing from splitting.

Over a medium heat, brush the sausages with the marinade and turn frequently. Cook for around 15 – 20 minutes until well glazed and cooked through.
