i need ideas!!! for tonights tea?
thank you x x

Answer 1

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 Stir-fried Chicken with Lime and Coconut

2 Traditional Free Range boneless, skinless chicken breasts
grated zest and juice 1 large lime
5 fl oz (150 ml) tinned coconut milk
1 dessertspoon olive oil
1 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 dessertspoon Thai fish sauce
4 heaped tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
4 spring onions, cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm) shreds, including the green parts

First of all chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl with the lime juice and zest. Stir well and leave them to marinate for an hour. When you're ready to cook the chicken, heat the oil in the pan or wok over a high heat, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they're golden. Then add the chilli, stir-fry for 1 more minute, and add the coconut milk, fish sauce and half the coriander and spring onions. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then serve with Thai fragrant rice and the remaining coriander and spring onions sprinkled over.

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.

hmm there is this quick pick me up. its called "pizza pan de sal" its pizza that uses pan de sal as crust but you can use any bread. burger buns work well :)

you need:

tomato sauce or pizza sauce
cold cuts (ham, pepperoni,hotdogs etc)
or
meats (burgers, bacon etc)
or
canned spanish style sardines (makes zesty pizza's)
or
all those for toppings

button mushrooms
bell peppers
onion (cut into rings)
cheese (i suggest quick melt cheese)

well, actually you can add alomst anything to it. even left over meat dishes. be creative :)

spread tomato sauce/pizza sauce to the bread, add toppings, veggies then grate cheese above it. put in oven toaster/oven/turbo broiler.

My fav for a quick get togeather that keeps you out of the kitchen is to go to your closest deli and get different sliced meats & cheeses, fruits, and veg's. Make a nice tray, have a few dips & crackers to accompany it. It will be a nice selection, have eye appeal, and easy.
