I caught recipes from yours for the yesterday
and tonight dinners but variationibus Franciscae after a rapid meeting with
madam larder and mister fridge.
Two marinades for one chicken breast.
From Melinda's Chips for tea
I stole the yesterday dinner. I changed chicken thighs to chicken breast and the
Greek yoghurt to DIY yoghurt. I make it myself at home (it's middle-class,
isn't it?): it’s perfect for savouries because there's no sugar at all. I
hadn't neither oregano nor rosemary. In our family country home we have a
couple of rosemary bushes in the garden like Melinda's parents but I have
finished my stock and "I've never got used to the idea you have to buy it" (cit.).
I mixed 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp
dried mint, half of a dried chili pepper, zests of orange, salt and 1tsp oil. The dish
was delicate with a pungent citrous aftertaste.

SarahA and Neil Fefferies
have ispired the idea of an oriental marinade.
Marinade stuff:
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- ginger
- 1 tsp paprika.
After 24 hours add the marinated
chicken to a pan and stir-fry and add a couple of carrots thinly sliced and stir-fry
for some minutes. Last step: rice spaghetti (I cooked them as the instructions
say: never take the initiative!).
Here we have the today dinner. Sweet and caramalised thanks to honey and soy.
Good night guests!
Fatter and wiser ones, We’ll rise
the morrow morn.
This is just brilliant - I'm so glad you've had some inspiration from so many people!
ReplyDeleteUgh, sometimes I remember to buy rosemary if I really need it, but mostly I just think "I'll just snip some-" oh, no. I don't live there anymore. But it sounds like you had lots of good things to put in the yoghurt for that marinade anyway.
