Chicken wrapped in Parma Ham
I wasn’t particularly excited about this but we had two leftover chicken breasts following yesterday’s green curry and were stuck for something else to do with them. I’d love to say that it turned out brilliantly but unfortunately it didn’t. We seasoned the chicken breasts with pepper and parmesan cheese before wrapping them in Parma […]
Read More..>>Thai Green Curry With Chicken
This is an old favourite and one that we eat often, or so I thought. It turns out we last ate it in September which is really quite a while ago. Like last time, we speeded things up again (by adding the vegetables earlier and cooking the curry for a shorter time) and it seemed […]
Read More..>>Khmer Chicken Samla with Coconut Milk
This is one of the first Thai dishes I ever ate, cooked by Stephen’s sister. I really enjoyed it and they subsequently bought us the book they found the recipe in: Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet by Jeremy Alford and Naomi Dugold. We’ve cooked it ourselves but neither of us remembered that until we started cooking. […]
Read More..>>Chicken Kiev
Chicken Kiev has become something of a byword for outdated, retro-but-not-cool food along with prawn cocktail and similar dishes that were once considered the height of fashion but have since fallen from grace. It’s a shame really, as when they are done well, they can be very good. I used to like chicken kiev when […]
Read More..>>Chicken Stir-Fry
As happens pretty often on a Monday, we planned to eat leftovers from yesterday’s roast only to find that there wassn’t actually anything left over. A quick scramble through the freezer revealed very little in the way of inspiration, other than one, small, sad looking chicken breast. I braved the rain this afternoon to buy […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken and Potato and Jerusalem Artichoke Dauphinoise
When I arrived home this evening, I was greeted by the wonderful aroma of dauphinoise cooking. This wasn’t just any dauphinoise though; along with the potatoes it contained jerusalem artichokes. Also there was a roast chicken. Yum. So that all made for the second really long title as many posts. The jerusalem artichokes added a […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken Ballotine and Perfect Roast Potatoes
Last week, one of the Maaaaasterchef contestants cooked chicken ballotine for his main course. It was a lot to take on and, given that he also had a starter and a main course to make, he sadly didn’t quite get everything finished in time. However, out of that sadness came some good because it made […]
Read More..>>Chicken Casserole
We’ve not had this for a while, which is odd considering it’s so cold outside and this is perfect comfort food. It’s relatively healthy too which is appropriate as we are both trying to be more conscious about what we eat. Stephen jointed a chicken yesterday and I used the carcass to make stock today, […]
Read More..>>Chicken and Braised Lentils
Today marks the first day of our new, healthier eating plan. To ease the pain, we spent some time with our cookery books over the weekend and came up with some interesting, low-fat options. Stephen bought me Skye Gingell’s “A Year in my Kitchen” for Christmas, a book that’s been on my wishlist for a […]
Read More..>>Chicken Tikka Wraps
We have cooked a few dishes from Anjum Anand’s Indian Food Made Easy lately, and tried another one this evening. I’ve taken to calling it Indian Food Made Irritating because of the pseudo-Nigellaness of her presentation style on her television programme. However, we have had a fair amount of success with the recipes in the […]
