Chicken Breast, with Potato, and a Walnut, Apple and Raisin Salad


I cooked three chicken breasts, drizzled in some cooking oil, and dusted with sea salt. Forty minutes in a casserole dish - thirty minutes under glass, and then fifteen to twenty minutes without. 200 deg C, on the middle shelf. Allowed to cool.

Carved, and served with a a walnut, apple, onion, raisin and mayonnaise salad. Plus semiskinned boiled potato. 

The walnut and apple salad was bought commercially, since it was at a bargain price. I could have made that for myself, but you don't always have to do that.

Grape, Fig and Walnut Salad

Bargain green seedless grapes from the Co-op, plus figs and double cream from the fridge.

The semi-dried figs (about ten) were diced and added to the serving bowl along with two handfuls of the seedless grapes. Plus one handful of walnut pieces. Souse in half a measure of whisky (I used Bell's blended whisky), or some white wine, and stir together.

Add a drizzle of double cream.

Fantastic dish, which can be put together in less than two minutes!

Strawberry and Walnut Salad

Quartered Scottish Strawberries,  soused for four or five hours in granulated sugar, which produces excellent juices.

Decant to a serving bowl and add two handfuls of walnut pieces.

Add three or four dessert spoonfuls of plain yoghurt (or single cream if you prefer). Chill in the fridge for half an hour before serving. A fabulous dish!
