I used finely sliced cooked sweet potato* to line a terracotta tapas bowl I bought in Lidl, simple as that. I wish I could think of a way to crisp up the crust a bit. The potato is very wet so too delicate to do much with but it's soooo delicious on the bits that are above the dish and have gotten caremelised.

You could try blind baking it.

Gloomtastic!

Dining al fresco this afternoon, stunning weather!!

One of our friend's daughter's a veggie so we had Crispy Salmon, Jazzed-up Rice, Courgette Salad and Guacamole with tortillas. Courtesy of Jamie's 30 minute meals, that took twice as long to make!

Worth it though, so tasty.......

Well wasn't it a beautiful day?
Thought it was too warm for a roast, but hunger got the better of us and roast chicken it was.
Delicious as always!

Tonight is Chicken Tikka with rice for us.

Thrown-together dinner of spaghetti, with a sauce made from olive oil, garlic, chorizo, cherry tomatoes, prawns, balsamic vinegar and black pepper. It was surprisingly rich and tasty for something that took 10 minutes.

Had some sweet potato leftover so used it along with red pepper and goats cheese to stuff some chicken breasts, really nice and good use of something that would have gone in the bin otherwise

Chicken fritters and garlic aliola dip with a roasted pepper, tomato and mozzarella noodle salad.



Chicken fritters were a huge hit with the kids. Recipe is here but I'm sure there's loads of variations you can try.

Like practically everyone else in my neighbourhood, judging by the smells, I barbequed. Harissa-lemon chicken, chipotle chicken, flatbreads, asparagus, sweet potato, avocado and a smoked paprika & cayenne butter-rubbed corn on the cob for my sister, because I loathe the stuff. Al accompanied by a lovely big salad.

Had planned to have enough leftovers for an easy post-pub dinner this evening, but we may have inadvertently eaten it all...

How did you cook the chicken?

I hasslebacked it for stuffing and cooked for 20 mins at 200. My husband said that's my favourite word at the moment!

Edit: for the kids and hubby I topped with grated cheese and breadcrumbs

Did you brown it in the pan before hand.

Nope, so mine was a little anaemic looking, the ones with breadcrumbs looked well

I must admit that I've been quite bemused at your idea of hassleback chicken!
