recycling freezer food.
Much as I love having a freezer - who'd have thought I coped for 7 years in London without one - I do get very bored of the stuff that's in it. Every time you open it you feel like you've eaten: soup, half a ham, peas (always), filo pastry etc - and consequently never use them up as you are SO BORED OF THEM ALREADY. So, as I have to make room for summer ice lollies and ice cubes, I am trying to use it all up.
Therefore, defrosted organic chicken it is again (plus alot of stuff from last nights meal dressed up differently) - this time marinaded in a zesty spicy, almost BBQ-y juice and served with salad and oat wraps. Oat wraps may sound gross, but they are a lovely Aussie food that is like a very thin flat bread and is low in fat (none!) sugar (none!) and GI (errr low!) plus they keep in the fridge for ages, which is great for week nights.
A simple marinade done a hundred ways, an assorted mix of: Finely chopped garlic, soy sauce, lime juice with the bits, a few dashes of pepper sauce or a spoon of wholegrain mustard - Plus a teaspoon of sesame oil and heaped teaspoon of brown sugar or a squirt of honey. All shoved in a glad bag with the sliced chicken and left to soak.When you cook the chicken (in a hot dry frying pan) throw in a chopped red onion as well for part of your 5 a day.
Serve the chicken in a bowl with the wraps and a salad (i'd normally use rocket but as I am clearing out we have cos, grated carrot, and a sad looking pepper) on the side and let poeple assemble their own. Also sprinkle of spring onions also goes a longway on the presentation front.
Yum. and Healthy. And Quick.
Weather: Hot and Clear - can see the islands miles away and for the first time in ages the dehumidifiers are off and the doors are open - yey!
