TV Dinners

September 27th - As you may have already guessed....I love cooking programmes! This week I caught a recipe from the new Jamie Oliver series on Superfoods which I fancied giving a go. Out came the iPad. Recipe seemed easy.  Chicken and Garlic Bread Kebabs. No bread in but never mind! The diced chicken was marinated, very briefly, in a mixture of crushed garlic, olive oil and thyme (since I did not have the rosemary that the recipe needed) and some white wine vinegar. Then this was threaded onto skewers and fried for about 5 minutes on each side until golden. The salad is spinach and sliced orange, drizzled with lemon and olive oil. Feta cheese is crumbled on the top and the whole lot drizzled with a bit of basalmic vinegar. In keeping with the Greek theme I chucked on a few olives that were left over from the puttanesca pizza....and not scoffed with the glass of red wine while cooking! Definitely a recipe I'll a make again, whether or not it is a superfood, and it tasted great without the bread too.

P S ... Just for the record, we ate our meal at the table!
