Chicken Stir Fry

 Chicken Stir Fry with diced carrot, chilli, red onion, mushroom, yellow pepper, two colours of cabbage, and soy sauce. The chicken was pre-roasted in the oven, and then diced. The stir fry took five minutes at a high heat, stirring frequently. 

Chicken Salad with Garlic Yoghurt

A great chicken salad, and quick to prepare. The vegetables came already assembled in a bag from the local Co-op. Decanted into a glass bowl and dressed with some olive oil, two dashes of Tabasco sauce, and two dashes of Worcester sauce. Stir.

I roasted a medium-sized chicken the day before, and prepared it for use once it had cooled. After that it was kept overnight in the fridge.

I diced one chicken breast, and added the pieces to the salad.

In a  smaller bowl I prepared the garlic yoghurt. Four or five dessert spoonfuls of fresh yoghurt, infused with two finely grated cloves of garlic. Stir together and allow to stand for fifteen minutes or so.

Served in a pasta bowl, with the garlic yoghurt spooned on top. Excellent dish!

Black Olive Salad

 Another summery salad for a grim winter in the UK. Made with black pitted olives, half of a diced red onion, diced red pepper, shredded carrot, red cabbage, and lettuce leaves. Dressed in olive oil. No herbs, no salt. You could add oregano or coriander leaf. Or even salt. Served in a pasta dish.

Fabulously simple, and nutritious!

Pasta Salad

A simple pasta salad with lettuce, yellow pepper and red cabbage. Plus shredded carrot, marinaded red pepper, and white onion. The onion, carrot and yellow pepper were marinaded in a mixture of vinegar, olive oil, and minced garlic, for about an hour.

The lettuce and red cabbage was dressed in olive oil and white pepper. The pasta was wheat free and added last of all to the dish.

Delicious, filling,  and quick to prepare! Served with a glass of red wine.
