Chicken nuggets (beige)

[stephbg]

Felt sufficiently better to put my creative beige hat on in the kitchen and had another go at my version of chicken nuggets. I think these even qualify as gluten free. Certainly additive-free, preservative-free, no artificial colours or flavours. Thank god for salt I say.

Beige Chicken Nuggets
(Makes n)



Ingredients:
* Leftover boiled white rice
* However much of the chicken mince has defrosted
* An egg of uncertain age
* Minced garlic (about a teaspoon, but, y'know, whatever)
* However many spring onions are left in the fridge
* Some chives
* Some parsley
* Some salt
* Rice flour as required
* Sunflower oil corresponding to the depth of frying one feels comfortable with.

Method:

1. Heat oil in pan.

2. Mix everything else together.

3. Add rice flour to thicken mixture until it seems conceivable that little patties of it will hold together. Repeat. Again. And again.

4. Roll small amounts into flat patties.

5. Coat patties in rice flour.

6. Fry until whatever shade of brown appeals.

7. Allow to cool a smidge.

8. Salt to taste and enjoy.

A little bit dry, but no more so than commercial nuggets. Would be great with dipping sauce. Sweet chilli in my dreams, but mashed pear with citric acid (lemon flavour) in my future.

The beige diet has made a big difference although it hasn't made the fibromyalgia go away.

Haven't nailed down anything specific yet. I haven't done the proper elimination trials yet, but early results and the odd cheat suggest glutamates, salicylates and amines are all an issue. And probably preservatives, flavours, colours and maybe white bread... So at this point I'll have to keep to a beige baseline but I won't drop dead if I stray here and there.
