Now, MasterChef. I'm finding it hard to sustain interest at the pointy end. I hope Adam wins, but I'm guessing that Callum's popularity {he's consistently been a trending topic on twitter!} and the friendliness of his cookbook idea will see him slide through to victory. I do love some of his ideas - but oh my, Jimmy's chai latte brulee had my tastebuds buzzing last night.
I do have MasterChef to thank for the greater array of ingredients now available at Coles. Yesterday I bought Lilydale free-range chicken mince and was delighted to see a tray of Lilydale free-range chicken pieces. Bliss - chicken thighs with skin on! Nigella's St Tropez chicken here I come! Actually, might make that for dinner tonight. If you'll excuse me, I need to pop the chicken in a big zip-lock bag with a bottle of rosé, some honey, lime, garlic, olive oil and herbs de provence and marinated for 3 hours to overnight. Then it's taken out of the bag and tipped in a baking dish and baked slowly under alfoil for 1.5 hours, then the foil removed for the last 15 - 20 minutes to tan the skin deliciously. Mmmmm.
I agree with you about master chef, I think it would be great if Adam wins. And Coles has definitely improved ingredients.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...sounds great your rose chicken, will give it a go! I hope Adams wins too! I'll keep my fingers, toes...everything crossed:)have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteKelly - love Adam - his dishes look beautiful and interesting.
ReplyDeleteOana - do try it - the updated version in which I've included olive oil, marinating and actually removing it from the plastic bag to cook!
I hope Adam wins too. I lost interest when Marion then Alvin went, now with Claire gone - well - so goes my interest. I don't think Callum should win and I think the judges have cut him some breaks that they haven't done with others. I will be glad to have my evenings back though - more time for blogging. xxx
