This recipe was sent to me by Poh, my new BFF. Yes, you read that right. No, it’s not a typo. Yes, of course I’m exaggerating.
Turns out I am not a patient man.
Sick of spag bog? I know I am. So this recipe is a godsend because it’s mild but still aromatic and flavoursome. I’m not saying it’s a surefire winner for your kids – we still have two who aren’t sold on it – but I’m very, VERY pleased to announce a 60% success rate with our mob.
Mum’s away for a while visiting my sister so I took my Dad to the shops to grab a few things. Hilarity ensued.
We were on our way to swimming lessons this afternoon and I’d been so busy today I hadn’t remembered to take anything out of the freezer.
I learned something very important this week. Chickens make very poor pets. And I think it’s my duty to tell the world why.
Occasionally I receive messages from people asking what meals we more regularly prepare for the family as opposed to the nice stuff we have as treats when the kids are asleep. Mostly its meat and three vege. Boring, but practical. But I thought, over the next few weeks, I’d post a couple of recipes the kids fancy.
STEP 2. Chop chicken. Set aside. This is difficult because, quite frankly, soup isn’t necessary – at this point in the proceedings the chicken tastes good enough as is. But if insist on soup, strain stock.
I love making a good risotto. Standing over a stove, ladling stock, is very satisfying. Plus, no-one seems to question the bottle of white standing right beside you.
