Just a quicky - does anyone roast salad spuds? We have some Annabelle which I was going to boil, but seeing as the chicken's about to go in...
we roast small ones whole in the oven coated with a little olive oil and sprinkled with a bit of salt
We sometimes put them in with other roast veg.Enjoy yer dinner
Next time, try braising the Bird (breasts) & New Potatoes.
Brown Breast pieces in Olive Oil & Butter - remove - add Potatoes with S&P & Rosemary till gently browned - return Bird + Garlic, White Wine, French mustard, Chicken Stock & simmer till tender/cooked.
Or just do the Potatoes on their own.
Tim, please when can I come to dinner. You always get my gastric juices going :).
Name the day m'dear. Wife is not jealous!!
Don't tempt me Tim ;) ;) ;). Not long to go now until the ashes. Are you prepared?

Here's the deal Tim. I suggest my missus (she's Danish, age 52 but looks 35, and jealous as it gets) comes to dinner with you, and your missus shacks up with me. I assure you I am a perfect gentleman.
Tim, your recipes are mouthwatering (and I am a vegetarian) ;D
Hector have you ever had red dragon pie. Yum, yum & I'm a meat eater ;).
Nope, whats that!
It's in an old Sarah Brown recipe book. Basically it's a cottage pie made with adzuki beans. There's a wonderful food co-operative called Unicorn in Chorlton. If you go to there web site they have a whole section on recipes & it's on there. We love going there. They've just bought some land & are going to grow there own to sell in the shop. It's a vegan shop.
sooo how were the potatoes Ollie?
lbb
Absolutely delicious, thanks! tbh, I don't actually know how she did them, but they were roasted.... I had to go for a lie-down having pushed things a bit too much digging them up!
We've found that our early rockets are delicious when sliced and roasted with a little oil over them and maybe some sprigs of rosemary
Bj - NO WAY, José. I'll share the nosh but NOT my Wife. Despite my love of the Danes.!!
Granny - Ashes - whose? - 90 next year so you mean me??
Not you Tim. Your good for at least another decade. I thought you got sky to watch The Ashes?
Or is just cricket full stop, like OH. Wednesday is the day he is looking forward to.
Nooo! - that's No3 - bossy boots - cricket mad!
You were very kind to go through all you did to get it for her. I am sure she will appreciate it. Our youngest loves it too, she even bowled a googley once to her dad & he almost collapsed in disbelief. Our baby is now 30. Bossy boots indeed. She just has you wrapped round her little finger, still.
At 54 she's had plenty of practice!!
54. Is that a recent photo?
Chop a few garlic cloves with some rosemary leaves put in olive oil add a little salt let the mixture marinade for an hour.
Cube tats with skin on boil them for 5 mins, drain and toss them in the mixture above and put into a hot oven.
(Bought our Oval tickets last November for 21st August - here's hoping ;))

From now on life will be revolving around the cricket. While OH does does gardening tomorrow I shall give the lounge a good do. I will even turn the cushions on his sofa so he will be really comfy. Organic cider in the fridge & a roast chicken dinner. He deserves it. He has worked sooooooo hard getting the lotty sorted for me. Bless him. He will be aching by the weekend due to lack of movement ;) ;) ;).
Hope you enjoy it Ninny.
Taken Monday, Granny!
Wow. Whats her secret, or is it in the genes?
I do a greek roast tats recipe ... good for early and maincrop spuds ...
50/50 mix of olive oil and vegetable oil (for cost reasons - the olive oil flavour is there)
chopped garlic
herb - I use thyme, but oregano, rosemary also work
black pepper - I add black pepper to almost everything now
lemon juice - the more the better !
make up the basting mixture above, and roast the potatoes as normal, tending to a low heat so they dont brown ...
The basting mix can be made into a sauce/gravy afterwards with veg water and thickening ...
Personally, this is the best method of cooking potatoes that I have come across so far ... and my family endorses that !
