Just over a year ago Mike and Yvonne who had hosted me throughout my time in Peterborough moved half-way around the world to New Zealand and after countless meals prepared by them in my time in Peterborough I was able to return the favour tonight for a couple of hours as part of their flying visit to Britain.
As I blogged back on day 5 I love having a house to host people and lent seems to be in part a time of hosting friends…in the last few weeks Joel, Vicki, Caroline, Dave, Mike and Yvonne have all passed through at various times for various lengths of time and it’s been so nice to be able to catch up with people….alongside this the regulars from South Cave have popped in many-a-time.
A really simple recipe that I was given a few weeks back was one for Spanish Chicken, it’s quick to prepare and makes a nice main course for guests so to make this blog useful here’s some instructions!
Ingredients: chicken (1 breast per person), chopped tomatoes (tin…1 tin = 4 people), 2 cloves of garlic, 1 onion, tomato puree and syrup.
Instructions: Assuming you’re cooking for 4 people fry the chicken breasts in some oil for 3 minutes a side, in another pan fry the onion (chopped) and garlic (also chopped), then add the tin of tomatoes, the table spoon of tomato puree and 2 table spoons of syrup and cook for a few minutes.
Then put the chicken in a dish, pour the tomato sauce stuff over it, cover the dish with tin foil and pop into the oven (pre-heated to 180 degrees) for an hour. Simple and tasty!
