Welcome to My Kitchen

I started cooking 12 years ago, and every day has been a new experience. You might not believe it but i was a person who could not fry an egg...but 12 years on..i feel i can take on any challenge.

I'm constantly trying out new recipes and looking for innovative ways to improvise my dishes and make it more easier. The easier the cooking gets and the less time it takes the more time for me to relax with my loved one.
But easy and quick does not mean compromise on taste or the way a dish is presented. I take great pride in decorating my dishes as i am a firm believer of ' The first impression counts'.

I decided to start this blog to help others like me discover that cooking a feast does not require slogging for hours in the kitchen all it requires is the right ingredients, tools and a creative mind and voila! you will have your family and guests begging for second helpings....

My inspiration for cooking has always been my husband...he loves his food..and like the saying goes 'A way to a man's heart is through his stomach'..i can confidently say it's true and it works wonders for a happy relationship...but he is also my best critic and competition.

I've got two little girls both who love to eat, and my eldest always enjoys helping me in the kitchen. I will try to post more kid friendly recipes that can be fun to eat and make together.

Hope you enjoy this blog and find it useful...please do feel free to leave any feedback or comments...remember there's always room for improvement!!!

Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken Thighs

The chicken in this recipe remains succulent and tender and is flavoured by the bacon wrapped around it.






Ingredients:


6 chicken thighs, boneless
1 carrot, grated
1 red pepper grated
12 chorizo slices
12 bacon slices
1 garlic grated
Salt and pepper for seasoning


Method:


1. Using a cling film, flatten the chicken thighs with a tenderiser into a nice fillet. In a bowl mix the grated carrot, pepper and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.


2. Place two bacon strips on a chopping board. Place one chicken thigh fillet on top. Now layer two chorizo slices and little stuffing. Roll the bacon strips into a small parcel and secure with a toothpick or wooden skewer.


3. Place in a heated oven and cook for 20-30 minutes on 150-180 deg. When nearly cook you can lightly brown the parcels by placing under a grill.


4. Serve hot with garlic bread and salad.


Ready to go into the oven




Tips:


You can also add chopped olives and cheese to the stuffing.
