John’s birthday dinner

John’s birthday today, 54 (toy boy) so made him one of his favourites.

Here’s the recipe method;

Catalan (ish) chicken

Chop 3 onions and mince/crush 3 cloves of garlic, then gently fry it all together with a bit of olive oil

 Then add some nice spicy chorizo, and fry it all together on a medium heat for a few minutes before adding chunks of uncooked chicken breast or thigh and nice big chunks of green pepper

Then once the chicken is browned add a cup full of rice and some chopped tomatoes – tinned or fresh, but the equivalent of two tins as the juice gets absorbed by the rice, and a (drained) jar of destoned olives, black or green
Put the lid on and leave to cook for 15 minutes, add a pinch of chilli and a level teaspoon of black pepper.  Taste for salt – it probably won’t need any more.
In the meantime peel and segment some oranges and put the bits in the fridge.  My least favourite job but gotta be done


Do you like the blue nail varnish.?

Finished product;

The cool sweet oranges offset the spicy rice mix.  Yummy
