I thought you might like a couple of
recipes to help you use up your turkey and Christmas pudding leftovers! A
modern day Turkey Coronation and homemade vanilla and Christmas Pudding ice
cream (topped with Amarula!). Happy Christmas!
MODERN DAY CORONATION TURKEY
½ tablespoon of Elianto oil
½ onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
½ teaspoon each ground cumin, ground coriander and
turmeric
125ml coconut milk
125ml chicken stock
200g mayonnaise
425g leftover turkey – shredded or cut into cubes
2 tablespoons desiccated coconut, dry toasted
a handful chopped coriander, to serve
chopped tomato, sliced onion and lettuce leaves, to
serve
- To make the curried mayonnaise: Heat a saucepan and add a little elianto oil.
- Fry the onion and garlic until both are lightly browned.
- Add all the spices and let them sizzle for 1 minute, then add the coconut milk and the stock. Allow this to reduce until you have a thick, rich, creamy, spicy onion mixture in the pan.
- Pour into a bowl, leave to cool, then stir through the mayonnaise. Can be kept in the fridge for up to a week.
When
ready to serve, mix the curried mayonnaise with the shredded turkey.
Toast
the desiccated coconut in a dry pan until golden. Sprinkle over the turkey along
with some freshly chopped coriander.
Delicious
served with thin chapati or those tortillas and made into wraps. Or make a meal of it and add some mango
chunks to the mayonnaise and turkey mixture and serve with hot rice and a mixed
salad.

HOMEMADE CHRISTMAS PUDDING AND
VANILLA ICE-CREAM
Ingredients:
200gm of left over Christmas pudding (if you have less then reduce the
below ingredients)
400mls of condensed milk
500mls double cream (buy good thick creamy one)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
seeds of 1 vanilla pod (cut down the middle of a pod and use a sharp
knife to scrape out the seeds) THIS IS
OPTIONAL BUT MAKES IT LOOK PROFESSIONALLY HOMEMADE!
Instructions:
- Put all the ingredients together in a big bowl and stir well – using an electric hand-whisk if you have one (or a balloon whisk if not) to fully mix the ingredients
- When mixed, pour the ingredients into a plastic container and put into the freezer (coldest part if possible)
- After 3 hours, or when the edges are starting to freeze, roughly mix the broken up pudding into the mixture with a fork and mix well enough for not fully diluted – you want the pudding to be rather like chunks in the vanilla ice cream (think rocky road ice cream!)
- Repeat step 3. after another 3 hours – it will be much firmer
- Return it to the freezer and it will be ready in 8 hours.
