The Sourdough Experiments: Savoury Harvest Fry

This here is the one I got right. Witness the horror of the one I got wrong:

Let's get to the important bit - the recipe. I'll detail the mistakes afterwards.

Implements

  • Frying type surface with appropriate heat source
  • Spatula
  • Sharp blade for chopping

Ingredients

  • Sourdough harvest
  • 1 button mushroom
  • 3 olives
  • Coconut oil for frying in

Instructions

  • Chop your olives and mushroom.

I had olives with the pits in [why?] and no olive pitter, so I had to improvise.

Method: lay olive on stable surface. Lay knife flat on top of olive. Smash it! Smash it like you hate it. Remove pit from smooshed olive. Yay!

  • Pre-heat your frypan to just below medium heat.

Patience is my kryptonite. See the comedy of errors below for further elucidation.

  • Pour your harvest into the heated pan and sprinkle your chopped veg on top, then cover with lid.

The dude in the video I watched gives his five minutes. I've found that this doesn't work so great and leaving it until about a minute past it smelling delicious is what we need. I have not timed this, but when the mushrooms look cooked, it's time to flip it.

When you think it's in danger of being burned - by all means, check it, but I'll bet you dollars to doughnots that it's still very pale. Cook that side until it's a VERY nice brown. Maybe a little bit darker than the splash photo up top.

Verdict:

Miss T and Best Beloved both like enough to predate it down to nothing so, dependent entirely on my ability to can even, I will endeavour to make pretty round snackable pancakes out of this recipe the next time.

Miss T tells me that they're better with cheese.

And now the bit I'm certain you all secretly enjoy:

Mistakes!

  1. I thought maybe mixing the savoury garnish into the harvest might make for some interesting flavour profiles. Well. I wasn't wrong.

  2. I also added to much savoury garnish in the form of nine olives and two mushrooms.

  1. As mentioned previously, patience is not one of my virtues when it comes to frying things, so I poured prematurely, flipped early and, because of the aforementioned overloading of chunky bits, the whole thing lost integrity and turned into barely-edible chunky lumps.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

My ability to do anything is limited by the amount of flour I can get, so stay tuned for further whacky hijinks the next time Bread Day rolls around.
