… Chicken Salad
It’s Saturday and I have my friend Tom and his daughter Maisie round for lunch.
This is a meal with bulgur wheat, which is something only introduced to me from cooking these 15 Minute Meals. I do like it.
This meal required radishes. A simple ingredient to buy. Today I went to the nearest supermarket, my least favourite, but I couldn’t be bothered to walk very far. This particular supermarket probably ranks the lowest in its ability to supply all the ingredients I need for a 15 Minute Meal, but its strength is its good range of British ingredients. I think radish is a fairly normative British food, so not one I expect to struggle with today. I do though. After looking in the fruit and veg section, failing, looking again, doing the rest of the shop, looking again I resolve that I will have to walk to a second shop. Then I have a brainwave and I leave the queue to the self-service tills to see if I’m right … I am. There are radishes in this store. There only at the self serve salad bar … but they’re there. In the end I end up paying an unacceptable amount for the radishes, because I fill the smallest salad box with them, without all the nice expensive little bits you would normally stuff in there. However no walk to a second shop for me today.
This was a really, really nice meal.
It cooked fairly easily, but I struggled with the chicken again. Am I not bashing it thin enough? Is my hob really that crap? Whatever it was I was again in the position where everything was done, but the chicken was pink (raw) in the middle. So it took a fair bit longer.
A very nice (incredibly delicious you could even say) meal.
