Morrocan Roast Chicken
While I was planning meals for the weekend, I decided that I wanted to roast a chicken with Morrocan flavourings, in a similar way to this leg of lamb. I bought a bulb of fennel, some olives and some preserved lemons and set about putting together said roast chicken. It didn’t take long for me […]
Read More..>>Mexican Style Whole Chicken
We had some friends over for dinner on Saturday night and, after exploring pretty much every cuisine we could think of, we settled on Mexican food. The reason it took us so long to decide is that we wanted to cook Maddhur Jaffrey’s chicken but in a different style. We both thought it would work […]
Read More..>>Chicken Kiev with Mustard
My obsession with mustard continues. As does it seems my obsession with breaded meat, especially for Friday night dinners. The two together obviously equal chicken kiev with a mustard-butter instead of the usual garlic. We were going to call this Chicken Dijon (since the chicken is stuffed with Dijon mustard) but that already exists and […]
Read More..>>Indian Baked Whole Chicken aka Best Chicken Ever
I couldn’t get the title of the post to do justice to the meal, so had to add that bit on the end. The recipe is from Madhur Jaffrey’s “Indian Cookery” and the title in there doesn’t do it justice either; it is simply called “Whole Chicken Baked in Aluminium Foil”. On reading the recipe […]
Read More..>>Chicken Stir-Fry with Szechuan (aka Sichuan) Pepper
When we fancy a stir fry of some sort we usually end up following a Thai recipe or at least giving it a Thai twist, but this time we fancied something in a Chinese style instead. We had intended to use oyster sauce but when it came to cooking time we found that we didn’t […]
Read More..>>Chicken with Mustard Lentils
I love puy lentils and we eat them a lot. Boiled simply and then flavoured with oil and fresh herbs while still warm, they are endlessly versatile and often form the basis of a quick, week-night dinner. What we don’t often do is cook them with other ingredients as part of a one-pot dish. Cooked […]
Read More..>>Mustardy Breaded Chicken
Another recipe found in the recent Recipe Spring Clean, courtesy of The Wednesday Chef. I’ve had this bookmarked for a while but, much like my clippings folder, rarely refer to my bookmarks when I’m searching for inspiration. I tend to cook something quite quickly after discovering it and the online “recipe” folder is typically where […]
Read More..>>Portugese Chicken
While on holiday in South Africa, we picked up a packet of Portugese spice mix to bring home. Aside from the description telling us it included tarragon and the cinammon we could smell/taste, I’m not sure what else was in there. It was a winning combination though (and a cheap one, at only 40p or […]
Read More..>>Leftover Roast Chicken with Cannelini Beans
I say this often but one of the very best things about a roast chicken is the amount of leftovers it generates. If you were left with lots of turkey leftovers after Christmas then this may be a bit too soon for chicken leftovers, luckily we managed to avoid that by going on holiday. We […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
As is tradition, we celebrated arriving home with a roast chicken on Sunday. Not all that interesting to read about (there is some more interesting stuff to come soon) but something we always look forward to after being away.
