Main: Roman Chicken with Creamy Mash
Delicious – Love To Eat
Dessert: Mango & Coconut Slice
Delicious – At Our Table
Hi Everyone!
Well another super easy dish this week that won’t break the budget. It’s from the Italian section of Delicious – Love To Eat so as you can imagine it is packed full of flavour. Loads of garlic, passata, herbs, capsicum and chilli make for a fabulous one-pot dinner. The recipe suggests serving it with polenta, however, I chose to serve it with a beautiful creamy mash. So given that the cooking of this is easy and there is really not anything I can tell you other than just cook it, you won’t regret it, I wanted to share an idea I had for this dish after I’d consumed it with the family.
I’m definitely going to cook it again, that’s a given, but next time forget the mash or polenta. I’m going to shred the cooked chicken and put it back in the pot with all that scrumptious tomatoey sauce and then I’m going to cook some spaghetti till it’s al dente, drain it, and add to the sauce. Voila! A different dish altogether which can still carry the name – Roman Chicken (Spaghetti). P.S. Aren’t we lucky we can buy roasted capsicums in the jar….. This little dish scored 9/10.
Dessert, from Delicious – At Our Table, is one you should start the day before. Now, I think it is well established that I have a sweet tooth. This dessert is what you would call mild in flavour. Definitely not super sugary and there doesn’t seem to be any guilt at all when you eat it. Really? Is that a true dessert?
Well let me tell you, the family loved it and so did all the people that scored the leftovers. I had comments like, healthy, non-fattening, light etc. etc (non-fattening is a bit of a stretch I think). Mangoes are of course always a winner for dessert and combined with a fairly bland base of oats and a layer of coconut milk “jelly” and not cream, ice-cream or custard, I guess it is one reasonably healthy dessert for a change.
Another 9/10 score.
Until next week,
From my table to yours with love x
