Dessert:  Breton Apple Cake
Delicious – Love to Eat

Hi Everyone!

This weeks meal is so easy I feel like a fraud!  I will always give anything a go that uses the good old BBQ’d chicken.  This salad is crunchy, flavoursome, fresh and the family is going to adore it.  First and foremost, it will only feed 4 not 6 so double it if you have the tribe coming.

I wouldn’t hesitate to serve this on Xmas day either.  No need to tell everyone it’s a BBQ chook.  Just say you poached the chicken breasts – wink, wink.  Now, here is a thought – why not use leftover turkey?  That too would work providing the turkey isn’t too dry as can sometimes happen the next day.  I just loved how the BBQ Chook was sort of marinated (albeit for a minute or two) in the crushed coriander roots and garlic.  It just turned the bought chook into something special.

Next time I do this, I will add mango and grapes.  This will give it a little sweetness and colour.  Also if you can’t get Thai basil just use regular basil from your garden or the neighbours. The dressing smacks of an Aussie summer with passionfruit muddled in with a Thai base.  Yum!  Honestly there is not a lot more to say about this just try it.  It will certainly be a lifesaver on a busy day after work.  10/10

The dessert was delicious and the apples can be done the day before.  Just keep them in an airtight container in the fridge.  However, at the end of the day, this is really just another apple pie which served warm with cream and ice cream is always going to feel oh so satisfying.

There is nothing like homemade pastry.  This pastry can be a little tricky to handle so be sure to roll it out between greaseproof paper.  We all loved it and it rated 8/10. (Yes I know, they are spoilt)

All round this meal was a very comforting and delicious family meal.

So until next week,

From my table to yours with love xxx
