Ready, Steady, Cook...

Where would I get Spanish Rice from?

use ordinary rice, or basmati. With spanish spices and cooked in chicken stock instead of water...

how about a nice bottle of wine, a fillet steak with potatoes and cream spinach on the side, and for dessert strawberries and cream on the wife/girlfriend. That surely is exciting :D

Ok, this is what I have for tonight's cooking: (I don't have to use all of the ingredients)

- Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 Carton Double Thick Cream
- Milk
- Green Curry Paste
- Garlic
- Baby Spinach
- Potatos
- Onions
- Spice For Fish
- Onions
- Carrots
- Paprika
- 1 Red Pepper
- Thyme
- Origanum
- Sweet Basil
 
Pooky,

Don't you have some spaghetti or something?

All I know is that last night I ate at a collegue's house and we had a dish of pasta, chicken (fried in whatever tickles your fancy), fried mushrooms, cheese sauce (grated cheese ... just as good) and very importantly ORIGANUM.

It tasted frikkin devine.

Grate the potato and onion - make rostis (or one big one - use plenty of salt)
Flatten the chicken breasts with a mallet and rub with plenty paprika, some salt, pepper, chilli and crushed garlic. Put aside until just before ready to plate up. (The rostis will take the longest)
Wilt the spinach in a large pan, add salt, pepper, some origanum and maybe even a dash of the curry paste if you want (I wouldn't). Remove from the pan, chop it up fine, add cream and cook for about 5 minutes until the cream has thickened slightly. season to taste at this point.

Now cook the chicken breasts briefly (depends on thickness, too long and they will dry) in olive oil and on a med-high heat. Plate up and squeeze lemon over the chicken just before serving.

Flattened paprika chicken breasts with rostis and creamed spinach...

You could chop the peppers in half, remove the insides, roast and then serve the creamed spinach in them (if you're really hungry). And don't forget the chlorine...

How do I make the Rosti's?

Last time I tried they were burned on the outside and raw in the middle...

I'm gonna save the chlorine for a dessert. I'm having homemade ice-cream sprinkled with HTH.

Er, cook them on a lower temperature for a lot longer. Mine are about half an inch thick and take about 15/20 minutes to cook. I make big ones on the odd occasion which are about an inch thick which take more than half an hour, on a medium to low heat. You can also add an egg to help bind, if necessary.

Temp indicator - if your stove goes to 10, cook them on a 4 or thereabouts - preferably not higher than 5. Sort of.

If you can get them really thin and they bind, then they go pretty quickly and you can increase the temp a little - they then land up being like crispy potato and onion cakes...
 
Oh I also don't have a mallet can I use a hammer?

EDIT: Also should I peel the potatoes?

Use your head first. If that doesn't work, then test the hammer on your head - if it hurts and makes you squeal like a little bitch, then it's perfect and yes, you can use it.

Don't break the chicken though - you just want to gently work your way from middle of the chicken outwards...

Having French toast for dinner tonight.

Any recommendation for a change to the normal recipe (eggs, milk, herbs, salt, pepper) ?

Thanks

Turn them into french toasties - add bacon and cheese in between the slices and cook. Or whatever filling you want...
 
i'm sorry DJK but melted cheese does not go along well with egg.
