We're having dodgy pizza tonight. It was going to be pumpkin, lentil and mushroom curry but DP's working back late and it's tightwad tuesday at the pizza shop so we'll have the curry tomorrow night.
Tonight Luke is having pizza after soccer training on the way home (we only go there for the sexy pizza chef ) - But DH & I are having a salad with grilled salmon in lemon juice & garlic butter... yum
Chinese stir fry tonight, sliced up the chicken this morning and made a marinade of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and a bit of minced up garlic and chilli. Hopefully it won't be too hot so Steph can eat it.
Not sure what veges to do with it though. Have some ordinary cabbage in the fridge that needs using, and also need to buy some noodles.... Carrot. No idea what else. Haven't got anything else in the cupboard or fridge. Any ideas? Off onion, and the garlic was probably also a bad idea. Other than that... its mainly all good. Maybe two chopped hard boiled eggs.
okay, please forgive my lack of quantities, i really am just a "throw it all in cook" (I have posted this in the general cooking forum as well)
you can use the balsamic chicken for any recipe really - same with the risotto.
for the 2 of us.. i use
chicken
2 chicken breasts (cut into strips or however you want)
approx 2 cloves garlic
about 1/4 cup lemon juice
about 1/4 olive oil
corn flour
thyme
sugar about 1/4 cup
approx 1/4 of a cup balsamic vinegar
risotto
risotto
onion
peas
lemon rind ( to taste really) i use half of a small lemon
hot stock(chick or vege) consisting of chilli (i used minced chilli) half a lemon just thrown in.
1.marinate chicken in olive oil, garlic, thyme and lemon juice for about half and hour.
2.dust chicken in cornflour and cook slowly (you can use the rest of the oil left over from the marinade use more if you need)
3.when all chicken is cooked add balsamic vinegar and sugar- cook till sauce thickens and is a bit sticky.
I think it is important to taste the sauce and add more sugar if nessescary.
start risotto- cook onion till transulcent and then add rice, stir until rice is covered and translucent as well.
add stock by the ladle full and stir continuosly.
add peas.
add lemon rind and a dob of butter once risotto is finished, stir.
Chicken breast stuffed with spinach, ricotta, lemon zest and nutmeg - poached and then roasted to crisp up the skin - served with some saute potato seasoned with mace and fresh baby carrots.
