… Caesar Salad
For some reason I forgot to write about this one. I cooked it, created a draft blog post, sorted the photos out but didn’t write anything. It’s now two and a half months since I cooked it. But I do actually remember a fair bit about it. I cooked this for my friend Tom, before we embarked on a night of playing a board game. I remember this being quite easy to cook. It was a good excuse to use my, then new, and very cool looking, liquidizer.
There was quite a lot of griddle pan work. With the ciabatta to be done first and then the chicory, with the pancetta. I like the look of my griddle pan, but it isn’t actually that great to use. I struggled a bit, with it. It just doesn’t give the satisfying charred lines in the way you’d want. Must remember to buy a new one.
The chicken was cooked in a reasonable time, which hasn’t always been the case in cooking the 15 Minute Meals. The polenta gives the chicken a lovely crispy crust. It was succulent too. Despite my frustrations, at times, with cooking chicken as part of the 15 Minute Meals, I have learnt something. I have learnt to cook chicken breast just right. So it’s cooked through but still juicy. Before I have been a bit scared of chicken and so erred on the side of caution and over cooked it. I don’t do that any more and I’m enjoying chicken much more for it.
The dressing is amazing and beautifully green. Much greener than the picture in the book.
There was loads of food. Delicious and hearty. Try it.
