Indian Barbecued Chicken and Lamb Biryani
We decided to plan ahead for Saturday and do something a little more elaborate than a mid-week meal. And while we were keen to involve the barbecue, we didn’t want that to be the sole focus of it in case it rained. So first up was barbecued chicken legs, which at a push we could […]
Read More..>>Red Thai Chicken Curry
We have been on a draconian clear-the-freezer mission lately, and as it turned out we had both chicken legs and red curry paste in there. Which meant that we needed to make red curry with chicken of course. It was shop paste rather than home made, we must admit; hence we had loads of it […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
After a busy weekend of travelling around the country for weddings and cricket matches, we needed something quick and easy. Our standby is always roast chicken so, after a desperate hunt for a chicken late on Sunday afternoon, that’s what we had. Nothing of particular interest to report other than, after several failed attempts, our […]
Read More..>>Barbecued Chicken Kebabs
Given the success of Friday’s barbecued lamb kebabs, we tried a similar thing today with chicken. We still have loads of oregano, so used that again, with a little oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper. The weather taunted us a little, changing from bright sunshine to cloudy and back and by the time […]
Read More..>>Sagey Roast Chicken
We’re growing some herbs in our little garden and the sage plant is threatening to strangle the poor parsley and thyme bush so we decided we ought to use some up. After the excesses of last week (particularly eating the cuisine of two different countries in one day), we were both in the mood for […]
Read More..>>Stir Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts
A quick almost-all-store-cupboard dinner for Tuesday evening. We defrosted some chicken breasts overnight, then sliced them thinly. We heated up some oil in a wok, then added finely chopped garlic for about 30 seconds before adding the chicken. At this point I added a little freshly ground black pepper and enjoyed the aroma of it […]
Read More..>>Scallops, Pork Belly and Paella
We had some friends over for dinner last night to celebrate the start of the long weekend. I’ve been waiting for the right time to cook scallops and pork belly since eating it in a restaurant last year and this was the perfect opportunity. Unfortunately, I didn’t take in to account just how much the […]
Read More..>>Bombay Bicycle Club
We’ve been having some re-decoration done on our flat this week which has meant we’ve been living with lots of dust and disruption since Monday. Despite this, we’ve still managed to eat fairly well but last night we gave in and decided to order a takeaway. I was ridiculously over-excited about this prospect as, apart […]
Read More..>>Chicken Fajitas
Although we do most of our cooking together, this is definitely one of Stephen’s dishes, today however I thought I would give it a go. We haven’t had fajitas for some time though and I couldn’t remember exactly what we (well, Stephen) normally does. Looking back through the archives normally helps with this but the […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
Roast chicken is not usually a weekday meal for us, but due to my badly planned shopping trip yesterday, we ended up with a chicken that needed to be used. We debated whether or not to post about it as we’ve posted about roast chicken hundreds of times before, but the point of Dinner Diary […]
