A simple and delicious one pan roast!

PUTTANESCA STYLE CHICKEN BAKE

An all Italian style dish with olives, garlic, basil, capers & tomatoes.
(I also added onion & thyme and then nestled chicken pieces into the ingredients to roast for about an hour.)

Served with some crusty bread, this remains one of my favourite dishes!

After a long weekend of cooking and catering we ended the festivities on a positive, late note.
From canapés to starters, mains & desserts, all plated…almost half vegan and the remainder non…
I do love a challenge (most times) and that’s exactly what this wedding brought.

Long hours, hot ovens & the dire Paarl heat made for a memorable Saturday afternoon/evening…doing what I love!!

A huge thank you to my cousin, Monette and the rest of the crew who showed up and executed this wedding as planned.
I simply could not have done it without you!!
Regrettably a fair majority of guests had no time to taste or savour the food as the music and festivities kept them entertained. Alas, a memorable and most enjoyable two days of cooking!

A big heartfelt thank you to Waterfall Valley for accommodating us and making my cooking experience in their kitchen so easy & enjoyable. We will be back!

p a v l o v a | Certainly one of my favourite desserts to make and one I love sharing with family and friends… egg whites whipped with castor sugar and baked until crisp & light with a gooey marshmallow centre. Topped with crème Chantilly and all the glorious fruits the season has to offer, it remains a show-stopper! Sweet indulgence.

SUMMER CHICKEN SKILLET

Delicious, simple & flavorful...a great dish for a relaxed lunch or easy dinner.
A recipe your family will enjoy and one you will return to again...and again.

t = teaspoon
T = tablespoon
C = Cup

i n g r e d i e n t s | s e r v e s 4-6 | e a s y
12 Chicken thighs, bone-out, skin off, halved or kept whole
Olive oil
1 Onion, thinly sliced
3 Garlic cloves, sliced
Small bunch thyme, leaves only or 1t dried thyme
1/2t Dried oregano
1/2C Dry white wine
1/2C Chicken stock
1/2C Cream
1/2C Grated parmesan
2C Cherry tomatoes or 4 tomatoes, quartered
Handful fresh basil, sliced and divided
1t Brown sugar
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Basmati rice, to serve

m e t h o d
Heat about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a non-stick pan. Brown the chicken thighs on all sides. Set aside.

In the same pan, without wiping it clean, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the onions until glossy and almost translucent, occasionally stirring.

Pour the wine into the pan and simmer until reduced by half, scraping any brown bits from the base using a wooden spoon.
Add the oregano, thyme & garlic, stir and cook for about a minute.
Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, black pepper & stock and cook until the tomatoes start to break down.

Return the chicken to the pan, add half of the basil and simmer for about 4 minutes until just cooked through.
Pour the cream into the pan and add the parmesan. Stir and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is fully cooked.

Remove the pan from the heat.
Garnish with the remaining basil and top with parmesan shavings.

Serve with a side of basmati rice/noodles/crusty bread and a salad.

Enjoy!

A real treat and so easy to make…thjink if a juicy steak topped with chorizo compound butter.

Good food, kept simple.

I n g r e d i e n t s |
250g Salted butter, softened
2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
80g Chorizo, roughly chopped
1T Paprika
Small bunch parsley, finely chopped
1t Dried thyme
Zest of 1 lemon
1T Olive oil

Method
Place the chorizo in a blender and pulse until it resembles fine crumbs.

Heat the olive oil in a small pan and cook the chorizo with the paprika until crisp. Turn off the heat and add the garlic. Stir. Remove from the heat immediately.
Set aside to cool down.

Place the softened butter in a bowl.
Add the parsley, thyme & lemon zest.
Add the cooled chorizo mixture. Combine.

Place a large piece of cling film on a work surface. Spoon the butter mixture onto the center.
Fold the bottom part over and shape into a log.
Twist the ends until you have a tight log.

Place into the freezer for 2 hours or overnight.

Remove from the freezer about an hour before slicing and serving on top of a steak or as a side to vegetables.

Enjoy!
