Chilli and Chicken Fajitas
It was my brother’s 30th birthday last week so, apart from the surprise dinner which we didn’t photograph, we invited some people to my mum’s house for his choice of dinner. He opted for chilli con carne which we duly provided, alongside a bean chilli for the non meat-eaters and some less spicy chicken fajitas […]
Read More..>>Tom Yum Goong and Chicken Satay
The plan was for something light and spicy to counteract the amount of heavy food we’ve eaten over the last few days. The chicken satay was a last minute and very welcome addition. Tom Yum Goong Serves Two 4 small green chillies 2 coriander roots and stems 600ml chicken stock 12 thin slivers galangal 2 […]
Read More..>>Christmas Lunch 2009
With just three of us for Christmas lunch, it seemed silly to eat something as large as a turkey so we opted for chicken instead. Thinking it would be easy to find, we didn’t order one which meant Stephen scouring the supermarket shelves on Christmas Eve. He eventually tracked this down in Waitrose which meant […]
Read More..>>Lemon Chicken with Coriander
Talking about cooking last night’s fish dish with Indian spices led me to Madhur Jaffrey’s ‘Indian Cooking’ when looking for something to cook tonight. This dish seemed reasonably light (we’re trying not to over-indulge too much during the week as we have a lot of food-heavy weekends coming up) and quick, making it a good […]
Read More..>>Indonesian Chicken Curry
I got this recipe from a friend who described it as “similar in sweetness to a tikka masala but with Thai style spices”. I know nothing about Indonesian cuisine and have never cooked or eaten it before but was intrigued by the description and have been planning to cook it for the last couple of […]
Read More..>>Breaded Chicken
We went out for dinner last night (post to follow) and ate so much that neither of us have really been hungry today. That said, we needed to eat something but it had to be plain and reasonably light. Breaded chicken with savoy cabbage was just right. This is essentially the same as this dish, […]
Read More..>>Bombay-Style Chicken with Red Lentils
We had a roast chicken for lunch yesterday and even though we have large appetites, we never manage a whole chicken so there are always leftovers to contend with. We’ve had some success using cooked chicken in the past so looked to Madhur Jaffrey for inspiration. The recipe we found called for uncooked chicken but […]
Read More..>>Bonfire Food
This title was suggested by my brother and it’s very apt, not just because we cooked the brownies and cheesecake to take to a bonfire party. Our oven is broken and we’re waiting for a new one to be fitted. Having suggested we take dessert along to the afore-mentioned bonfire party on Saturday night, Stephen […]
Read More..>>Chicken Casserole
With the clocks going back yesterday, it seemed the right time to start thinking about proper winter food. And that means casserole. And pie. But casserole if you’ve eaten a lot of rich food over the weekend. We had some chicken stock that needed to be used up so, chicken casserole was the obvious answer. […]
Read More..>>Cumin-Scented Chicken Curry
This evening we couldn’t really decide what to cook, so Kerri went through a few bookmarked recipes in her web browser and found this one. We mostly followed it, although we put in all the specified spices even though we only had a third of the chicken (and half of the onion and half the […]
