  • Creamy garlic parmesan chicken and mash

    I haven’t cooked this yet so it could be a load of rubbish. Makes two lunches apparently.

    Ingredients

    • Bunch of bonless thighs
    • 3-4 finely chopped garlic cloves
    • 1 tbsp butter
    • 100ml chicken stock
    • 100ml double cream
    • 30g grated parmesan
    • S&P
    • Spinach and/or greens?
    • Item

    Mash

    • 400g potatoes
    • 30g butter
    • Drizzle of milk or cream
    • 20g parmesan
    • S&P

    Method

    • Boil potatoes, drain, steam dry
    • Mash them with butter, milk/cream, parmesan, S&P
    • If you’re gonna be reheating this, keep the mash slightly looser and softer than usual.
    • Season chicken, brown it in the cast iron, 4-5 mins, set aside
    • In the same pan, add butter, garlic. Cook gently. Don’t burn it.
    • Pour in stock. Add cream. Simmer lightly.
    • Return chicken to the pan, simmer for 5-8 mins until cooked.
    • Add parmesan, stir until melted
    • You can either wilt the spinach and greens in this pan, or do it separately.
    • Sauce should be creamy, not too thick now.
    • Add more S&P if needed

    Bonus touches

    • Could add a small splash of lemon juice if you’re feeling fancy
    • Sprinkle with chives

  • Breakfast hash

    Ingredients

    • Chorizo
    • Onion
    • Two peppers (different colours)
    • Halloumi
    • Potatoes
    • Spinach
    • Fresh tomatoes
    • Wholegrain mustard
    • (Optional) poached egg

    Method

    1. Chop chorizo, render it slowly in a pan
    2. When it looks fatty, add the onions
    3. Add peppers after some amount of time has passed
    4. You should already have diced up the halloumi. Add it.
    5. Add the microwaved or boiled potatoes
    6. Add a load of spinach
    7. Stir it all up
    8. Add the chopped tomatoes
    9. Let the whole lot go slightly mushy, and so it goes a bit juicy
    10. Add some wholegrain mustard and mix it all up again
    11. Poach an egg if you want
    12. Eat
