Answer 1

Cook him one of these tasty dishes

Oriental Chicken
4 plump, free-range chicken thighs
5 fl oz (150 ml) Shaosing (Chinese brown rice wine)
3 fl oz (75 ml) Japanese soy sauce
1 heaped teaspoon peeled, grated fresh root ginger
4 cloves garlic, crushed
5 whole star anise
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

To garnish:
1 small red chilli, deseeded and cut into fine shreds
1 spring onion, cut into fine shreds

To serve:
5 fl oz (150 ml) rice, cooked

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C).
Remove the skin from the chicken, then place the skinned chicken thighs in the casserole. Now mix the rest of the ingredients, and 2 fl oz (55 ml) water, together in a bowl and pour this mixture over the chicken. Place the casserole over a medium heat and bring the liquid to the boil. Now transfer it to the oven (no need to cover) and bake on the centre shelf for 40 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through the cooking time.

Serve the cooked chicken on a bed of plain rice with the sauce poured over and the shreds of chilli and spring onion sprinkled on top.

Or Grilled Lemon Chicken Kebabs
2 Traditional Free Range boneless chicken breasts, skin on
juice 1 lemon, plus 1 level teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 thick slices lemon, cut into quarters
2 fl oz (55 ml) olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 level dessertspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
2 bay leaves, torn in half
salt and freshly milled black pepper

For the gremolata:
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 heaped teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Begin by chopping each piece of chicken into 5 chunky pieces, leaving the skin on, and place them in a bowl, along with the lemon juice and zest, oil, garlic, oregano, white wine vinegar and plenty of seasoning. Cover and leave to marinate overnight or for a few hours – or for as much time as you have.

To cook the chicken, pre-heat the grill to its highest setting at least 10 minutes ahead, then first thread half a bay leaf on to the first skewer, followed by a quarter-slice of lemon, then a piece of chicken. Carry on alternating the lemon and chicken until you have used 5 pieces of chicken, finishing off with a lemon quarter and another bay leaf half at the end and making sure you pack everything together as tightly as possible. Repeat with the second skewer, then place them both on a grill rack, and underneath the rack place a heatproof dish to catch the juices. The kebabs should be 4 inches (10 cm) from the grill, and as they cook you need to baste them with the marinade juices. They will need 10 minutes on each side to cook through and become nice and dark and toasted at the edges.

While they're under the grill, mix the gremolata ingredients together and have it ready. When the chicken is done, transfer it to a serving plate and keep warm. Now put the rest of the marinade, plus the basting juices, in a saucepan and boil to reduce to a syrupy consistency, which will take about 2 minutes. Pour this over the chicken and sprinkle the gremolata all over as it goes to the table.

Or Thai Creamed Coconut Chicken
1 cooked chicken weighing about 2 lb 4 oz (1 kg), stripped, or 5 cooked chicken breasts
14 fl oz (400 ml) tinned coconut milk
1 level teaspoon coriander seeds
½ level teaspoon cumin seeds
2 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
2 tablespoons groundnut or other flavourless oil
2 medium onions, peeled and finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
½ oz (10 g) fresh coriander
1 level teaspoon turmeric
4 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
1 level dessertspoon finely chopped fresh lemon grass
2 tablespoons lime juice
salt and freshly milled black pepper

To prepare the chicken, remove the skin and cut the flesh into strips about 2½ inches (6 cm) long. Next, the spices will need roasting, so heat a large frying pan or wok – without any fat in it – and, when it's really hot, add the coriander, cumin and cardamom pods. Allow the spices to roast briefly – about 45 seconds – shaking the pan from time to time, then tip them into a mortar, removing the seeds from the cardamom pods and discarding the husks, and crush them all fairly finely.

Now add the oil to the frying pan or wok. When it's really hot, fry the onions and garlic over a medium heat for 8-9 minutes, until they're nicely softened. Meanwhile, strip the leaves from the coriander stalks, reserve these, then chop the stalks finely.

When the onions are ready, add the turmeric, chilli, crushed spices and coriander stalks, along with the lemon grass, to the pan. Stir these thoroughly together, then pour in the coconut milk and lime juice. Add some seasoning, then simmer everything gently for about 10 minutes, uncovered, by which time the sauce should have reduced and thickened.

Now add the chicken to the sauce and simmer gently for 10 minutes or so to heat it through completely. Serve the chicken on a bed of Thai Green Rice, garnished with the coriander leaves

Answer 2

get some cheese i suggest cheddar then grate it and cover a dinner plate liberally with it. How much cheese you put in depends on how firm or milky you want the final dish. Then cut half an onion up and spread it amongst the cheese. Finally get a tea mug and break an egg in it and fill with about three quarters full with milk. whisk it up then pour over the plate of grated cheese. cut a few tomatoes up and add . place in the oven till cooked to your taste and firmness. place a few strips off cooked bacon on the dish and enjoy. dipping bread into the juicy cheese is very nice. This dish is quick and easy , you can even microwave if prefer ed and have done in about ten Min's . bon appetite

Answer 3

Roast chicken and vegetables. Pop it all in a roasting pan, season with mixed herbs, salt and pepper. Cover with foil and roast for about 1.5 hours covered. Open and grill for the last half an hour. Serve with garlic baguette.
Easy and you can spend the cooking time chatting over a glass of wine!

Answer 4

relies upon what you pick to do with them, and how adventurous you're feeling. I truly does no longer shallow fry them! in case you pick some thing state-of-the-paintings yet quick and easy, i'd shove them in a sealable freezer bag, with some pink wine, sparkling bashed garlic and sage, seal the bag, and go away to marinade even as you get on with some thing of the arrangements. Slice up some button mushrooms, and fry in garlic oil and black pepper. upload a tin of tomatoes, and some Italian herbs - oregano, sage, rosemary - a mixture of aromatics. Then, i'd upload a sturdy glug of wine to the sauce. go away to at least one side. Take your pink meat steaks, and lay (with each and each and every of the juices) interior the bottom of a casserole. upload your tomato and mushroom sauce on excellent. cover, and put in a pre-heated oven till cooked - about 40 minutes, at a demanding wager. Serve with sauteed potatoes, and some eco-friendly greens. in case you pick some thing very quick and easy, shrink up the pink meat into strips, and stir fry with a pre-packaged %. from the food market, and a sauce. if you're doing sweet and bitter, upload extra pineapple (from a tin!). Use an exciting vegetable %., with bean sprouts, pak choi, peppers for color - that style of ingredient. That shouldn't take you better than about 10 minutes, from commence to end, noticeably in case you take advantage of those noodles you upload to the stir fry. best of luck together with your cooking - appreciate it, and that i wish your different 1/2 does, too!
