Chicken Fajita Wraps
Both Stephen and I went out on Thursday night and were feeling rather delicate yesterday, consequently we both fancied something requiring minimal preparation for dinner and Stephen suggested chicken fajitas. We used our usual marinade for the chicken (chilli, hot chilli powder, cumin, coriander seed, chopped coriander and lime juice) but Stephen added some cloves […]
Read More..>>Harissa Roasted Chicken
We both fancied roast chicken for Sunday lunch but since we eat it so often, we decided to cook it differently. I can’t remember what the thought process was but harissa chicken was about the third suggestion and our most favourite. We sort-of followed a Moro recipe but since we only remembered to consult our […]

While we didn’t have the camera, we made chicken fajitas which turned out rather well. The chicken in particular was really good, and we were wondering what else we could do with chicken cooked in that way. Tonight we made salad, and decided that fajita-style chicken would go well with it. We sliced two chicken […]

We weren’t intending to eat at home on Saturday night but a bought of illness meant a change of plan. We needed to find a recipe that used ingredients we already had, Stephen suggested using one of our new Spanish books as the recipes are straightforward and don’t require lots of complicated ingredients. The chicken […]

… accompanied by Vermicelli Salad. Phew, rather a long title for two relatively simple (but delicious) dishes. I really love this picture that Kerri took of the soup; the coriander leaves floating on the surface look a little like lilly pads on the surface of a pond: This picture of the salad turned out well, […]

It has become something of a tradition for us to have roast chicken when we get back from holiday. So, having been away in Scotland last week, we had roast chicken today. Kerri realised recently that we haven’t cooked the same thing twice so far this year and we were worried that having roast chicken […]

I found a recipe for this in this month’s Olive magazine, clipped it and added it to the pile of “Things To Cook Soon”. I’ve been at home today and asked Stephen earlier what he felt like eating for dinner; I listed this among various lamb related dishes and also sausage casserole. This was his […]

I ate this recently in Busaba Eathai and it was lovely so we thought we’d try making it ourselves. Stephen made the paste on Wednesday night and we cooked it together last night. This is the recipe from David Thompson’s “Thai Food”: 200g chicken thighs 4 medium potaotes (we used some new potatoes that were […]
Read More..>>Chicken Breasts stuffed with Haggis
We’ve been planning to cook this ever since Burns Night last year. Every Burns Night we become determined to eat more haggis and try to think of things to do with it instead of just having it plain. So the time finally came and we made it. When shopping for chicken breasts, there was only […]

Yesterday, Kerri suggested this Jambalaya recipe for dinner and when we read it we realised that we already had all the ingredients at home, either in the fridge and needing to be used up, or in the freezer and waiting to be useful. We skipped the prawns though, used some chorizo as our “Spicy Mediterranean […]
