121. Asian pork & veg stir-fry (D Skehan)

Kitchen Hero - Donal Skehan- link
Rating: 3.8/5 
Comment: While this was very tasty, it took longer than your average stir-fry to prep and contained too many elements for a mid-week meal.
Use it again: No.








Other nice recipes from this book: Spicy white bean and chorizo soup, chicken and broccoli pie, mini caramelised and goat's cheese tarts, sticky marmalade chicken, simple roast chicken.

75. Simple Roast Chicken (Donal Skehan)

Kitchen Hero - Donal Skehan - link
Rating: 3.8/5 
Comment: I normally roast chicken with garlic, butter and lemon juice, but decided to try something different. This recipe uses a paste of garlic, rosemary and thyme with olive oil - was pleasantly surprised at how nice it tasted. Was concerned it might dry out a little, but it seemed fine. Had trouble making up the paste (there wasn't enough of it to mix up properly). A pestle and mortar may be best.
Use it again: Yes.

Rating: 4.5/5
Comment:  Hearty, slightly spicy and tasty soup. Perfect on a cold day served with bread. A meal in itself. It does need the 2 tins of beans. This has become a regular.  
Use it again: Yes

22. Rocket-fuelled pasta with avocado and parmesan; garlic-rubbed ciabatta toast

Rating: 2/5 
Comment:  not for me - would be OK as a warm side-dish. 
Use it again: No.

The ciabatta is a nice alternative to regular garlic bread and doesn't need any butter: 3/5. Had it with salad for a light supper.
