Burrito filling.
1 large or two small chicken breasts.
Oil for frying.
1 small (UK size) or equivalent, red or green pepper, diced.
1 medium (UK size) onion, chopped finely.
Half, or a little more, of a tin of chopped tomato - a mixture of this and tomate frito works well for a more intense flavour.
2 heaped teaspoonsful of paprika, (Pimentón Dulce).
1/2 teaspoonful HOT red pepper, (Pimentón Picante)
1/2 teaspoonful ground cumin.
Half a chicken stock cube, dissolved in water - or a good half of a scoop of chicken stock powder
2 teaspoonsful brown - demarara or muscovado - sugar.
About 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice or wine vinegar.
Method.
Cut the chicken into small bite sized pieces. Seal it in the hot oil & remove from the pan.
In the remaining oil soften the onion.
Add the diced red or green pepper and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken and cook for a further couple of minutes.
Add the pimentón dulce, the pimentón picante, the ground cumin and the sugar. Stir around until mixed well. Add the tomato and chicken stock liquid or powder, together with just enough water to cover the chicken pieces.
Cook gently for around 30 minutes.
Check the seasoning and add enough lemon juice or vinegar to taste - the idea is to cut the sweetness of the sugar a bit.
Cook uncovered until the sauce has reduced to the level where it will be able to be put into the wraps without running everywhere.
Fill your heated wraps with the mixture, add grated cheese, sour cream or crème fraiche, a lettuce leaf, fold over & eat!

recipe for crisp sandwich
method:-
butter 2 slices of bread
open preferred crisps
place crisps on bread
add second slice and press firmly
enjoy
im from the crisp centre of the uk and ive always wondered if it is a regional delicasy
or nationwide?
|
Now of we are descending to sandwich level..............................................
Take two thick slices of home-made wholemeal bread.
Butter liberally with Normandy salted butter. (The sort with sea-salt crystals in it.)
Spread a thick layer of Marmite on one slice of bread.
Now spread the Marmite with crunchy peanut butter.
Top with a layer of cold mashed potato.
Add a generous amount of Pembrokeshire extra mature cheddar.
Place the remaining slice of bread on this.
If it is less than 4 or 5 cm thick - FAIL.
Eat it in the privacy of a room where SWMBO can't see you.

>>I miss my fresh (raw)herring with union<<
My German bird (Prussian) introduced me to roll mops (and other things!)
I really got to like them, but haven't seen them for yonks!
Spose I could make my own - very good for thee, high in Zinc I believe.
|
|
My Ma made rollmops - lovely. You can get them in both Lidl and Tesco, Dog, making a good lunch with slab of fresh bread and some salad.
|
|
Yes, I've looked in Tesco & Asda, Dee, but they don't seem to have them lately - this is Cornwall remember :)
|
If you ask in Tesco at the customer service desk, they will order them in for you.

You have to write a little book about it Dog X rated.;0
Reminds me of a neighbour we used to have in R/Dam.She used to sunbathe on the balcony good looking bird.We used to clime on the roof as kids 14 years old and watch her.Sad but true those where the days.

Nice house Dog looks posh and lovely area .I found the German style house build very similair to the UK.The Dutch use bigger windows and a lot have flowers on the window sill.
I have a cousin who lives in Lorsch Germany he has a small printing bussiness.I haven't been to Germany for years.Daughter and me are going across to the homeland in a few weeks.I will visit my birth village Nieuweschans and pop across to Bunde and Leer stock up with some decent shnapps.

For me it was in ports different sightseeing.;)I still have a bottle of Genever at home got to be carefull now my body was hammered two years ago.Can only eat small meals .Little and often.
|
>>I used to travel with a lady who bred Irish Terriers<<
Irish terriers hey - Margo was into Schnauzers most of her life.
I like the old Borgward, wouldn't mind one now!
"Sightseeing" is that what they call it then ;}
Talking of Terriers Dutchie ... I've 'reserved' a Patterdale Terrier from these people ~
www.thepatterdaleterrier.co.uk/

I also like the smoked Makrel but not the stuff they sell in the plastic packetts.You want the whole fish properly smoked.Roll Mops there is plenty for sale around here a aquired (spelling)
taste.
|
>>Still around in Sainsbury's and Waitrose.
Although, the last pack I had from Sainsbury's were too salty for my taste.
|
|
You are right Clk Sec they are to salty spoils the taste .Proper smoked makrel the full fish I used to buy visiting my mother is very mild and tasty.

Simple chocolate mousse.
Separate four eggs.
Melt - don't cook - a 150g bar of chocolate in the microwave.
Blend the yolks and chocolate.
Whip the whites until they form stiff peaks, and fold gently into the yolk/chocolate mixture.
Pour into individual serving glasses and chill for a few hours.
Decorate with whipped cream and grated chocolate - if you remembered to grate a bit off the bar before you melted it.
Serves four, or three if you are feeling greedy.
A real treat, and not outrageously unhealthy because each serving contains less chocolate than a Yorkie bar.
