Aromatic Grilled Chicken - Tasty and Aromatic

After subscribing to BBC Good Food magazine and Delicious for a number of years, the pile in the corner of the room was getting higher and higher and more unstable. I thought it was about time I began to collate the recipes I cook/would actually cook.

This tasty aromatic grilled chicken dish is by Atul Kochhar (http://atulkochhar.com). The recipe can be found on UKTV Food (http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/639308). I followed the principle and changed the chicken thighs for chicken breasts. I’ve tried the recipe a few times now and find if you follow it exactly you get a perfect result. Served in pitta with some lettuce and accompanied by couscous or rice, a perfect after work dinner. Tasty and aromatic!

I must try grilling the skewers on the BBQ next time round and perhaps swap the chicken for lamb. I’m sure it will continue to give a perfect result.

Cold Roast Beef Sandwich – Keep it Simple

Left over beef from the roast dinner, fresh bread accompanied with your favourite condiment what else would you need? Whether its horseradish or mustard, ketchup or mayo, the key is keep it simple. My personal choice is fresh multigrain bread (http://www.dorringtons.com/), succulent moist roast beef and a smothering of garlic mayonnaise. May be a slice of home grown tomato...

I wouldn't complain about this being served up as a lunchtime treat.
