Culinary delights ! :D

 During the weekend, Theo and I were cooking a lot ! There is so much nice food to explore :)

Among others, I made chickensticks with smoked bacon, curry and apple :)

This is what the recipe website's picture looked like vs. mine ! :D Theo and I really liked it and it could definitely come back, however, I'm sure it's even nicer when BBQ'd !

The recipe is simple !

Cut a few chicken filets into small cubes
Peel and cut a big juicy apple into cubes
Put the chicken and apple on sticks together with pieces of smoked bacon.
Season the sticks with salt, pepper and curry powder.
Fry in oil until the chicken is done! Serve on salad together with mango chutney :)
I also chose to serve with potato halves, pre-boiled then fried in butter + oregano :) Yum!

 I also tried a new recipe for baking scones for a lazy but heavenly delicious Sunday breakfast! Very easy recipe as well:
3 dl white flour
1 dl graham flour
1 dl milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
50 g margarine
0,75 dl cream

Add ingredients and form a dough.
Form buns and bake 8 - 10 minutes in the oven in 225 - 250 degrees.


Last but not least, I'll share my recipe for my own Chicken Taco Pie which I made on Friday :)
It is also very simple !

Ingredients:
2 dl white flour
1 dl graham flour
150 g margarine
2 teaspoons paprika powder
2 spoons of cold water


2 chicken filets
1 bag taco seasoning mix

400 ml creme fraiche
2- 3 tablespoons of sundried tomato tapenade
3 - 4 teaspoons paprika powder
250 g cherry tomatoes
150 g grated cheese

Simply form the flour, margarine, paprika powder and water into a dough. Press it out into a pie form. Make some holes with a fork and pre-bake in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes in 200 degrees C.
Cut the chicken into really small pieces. Fry in butter and when it's almost done, add the taco seasoning and a few spoons of water and let it bake until the fluid is gone.
Mix creme fraiche with tapenade and paprika powder until you reach the flavor and spiciness that you like.

Add the chicken to the pie-dough. Put the creme fraiche on top of the chicken, as a layer. Slice the tomatoes into halves and add them to the creme fraiche layer. Finally add the cheese on top and bake the pie in the oven for about 25 minutes in 200 degrees.

Serve hot with perhaps a fresh salad on the side ! :) It's yummie !

I just love eating good food, and sometimes nobody is gonna make it for you if you don't make it yourself. Life is too short for being lazy and eating crap food every day! So my philosophy is to enjoy all the nice recipes there are!!
