    Serves 4
    Ingredients

    * 100ml milk
    * 2 tbsp plain flour
    * salt and freshly ground pepper
    * 1 egg, beaten
    * 150g dried white breadcrumbs
    * 4 skinless chicken breasts, with fillets
    * sunflower or groundnut oil for deep-frying

    For the garlic butter

    * 100g unsalted butter, softened
    * 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
    * 1 heaped tbsp finely chopped parsley
    * 1 tsp lemon juice
    * salt and freshly ground pepper

    Method: How to make chicken kievs recipe

    1. Begin by making the garlic butter. Mix all the ingredients together really well, then form into a neat pat and chill or freeze until hard.

    2. When you’re ready to assemble the kievs, put the milk in a shallow dish, season the flour and put on a plate, put the beaten egg in another dish, and finally put the breadcrumbs on a plate.

    3. With a very sharp knife, carefully slit each chicken breast along one side, down almost the whole length, parallel to the grain of the meat, to a depth of about 4cm. Give the thick part of the breast a few firm bashes with a rolling pin to flatten and spread it a little. This helps reduce the cooking time. Slice the hard garlic butter into four pieces and put one inside each chicken breast – cutting the butter to fit the hole if necessary. Use the fillets to close up the breasts.

    4. Carefully dip each stuffed breast in milk, then flour, then egg. Finally, give it a good coating of breadcrumbs. If you have time, chill the kievs for half an hour, then repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating to give a double layer. This makes it particularly hard for any garlic butter to escape, and gives you an extra crisp finish.

    5. The breasts need to be fried fairly gently if they are to cook through before the breadcrumbs burn. Heat your oil to 160C in a large sauce pan or deep fat fryer. Fry the kievs, turning occasionally and very carefully, for 12 minutes at least – 15 if you can get away with it – until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately.



    And if your kids don't like veg, just hide some in with the sauce. :D

    Mr T, quit winding people up or I'll have Mrs T suspend your internet privileges and send you on an endless quest to buy pickle flavoured ice cream (or some other suitably impossible to find craving)

    Pickled Ice Cream

    This clever ice cream recipe is best served as soon as it's firm – while the nuggets of pickle are still slightly crisp. The clever bit is adding the pickles to the ice cream at the end of making the ice cream.

    Serves 8
    Takes 25 minutes to make, plus overnight chilling and freezing
    Nutritional Information

    Per serving:
    471kcals
    31.8g fat (18.7g saturated)
    4.7g protein
    44.1g carbs
    36.9g sugar
    0.2g salt
    Ingredients

    * 300ml full-cream milk
    * 284ml carton double cream
    * 5 large egg yolks
    * 120g golden caster sugar
    * 2 tsp vanilla extract
    * 400g Pickles
    * 25g unsalted butter
    * 50g golden granulated sugar, to taste



    Method: How to make pickled ice cream

    1. Pour the milk and cream into a small pan and bring just to the boil.

    2. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar together in a bowl, until pale and creamy.

    3. Gradually stir the hot milk and cream mixture into the yolk mixture. Return to the pan over a low heat and cook, stirring, until it's thick enough to lightly coat the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in the vanilla extract, then set aside to cool. Chill overnight – this will speed up the freezing process.

    4. To make the ice cream, churn the custard in an ice cream maker until nearly firm. Add the pickles & lightly mix through, then serve straightaway.

    She may have to wait a bit, but it'll be well worth it. :D

    3 minute garlic bread.

    Garlic.
    Butter.
    Bread.

    Gently crush a garlic clove(s) with the side of your knife until the clove slips out of its skin, roughly chop the garlic. Place in a small ceramic container, add butter and microwave until the butter is melted, meanwhile toast bread.
    When the bread is toasted pour butter over bread and eat.

    The proportion of butter to garlic is up to your own taste.

    Cheese on beans on toast..I've never heard of that.

    I can however imagine a bit of Gouda or Emmental tasting quite good with it.

    If it's not to your taste - don't add it. The recipe is sound!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭Thumpette


    When i make beans on toast I start by cooking off some finely chopped onion and chilli and garlic in butter until they are soft, then adding some cayenne papper, paprika (and whatever you feel like generally. Then add your tin of beans- bachelors or heinz only for me! When it gets hot, add in a sqirt of ketchup to thicken and flavour.

    I sometimes add a little more butter to stir through at the end to make it tastier!
    yom yom!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭bobcar61


    Where did you discover that. Did you just say to yourself one day while making beans on toast that you should add all these spices and what not and then you discovered that you actually liked it.

    Sounds revolting to me:(

    I'm full of surprises I am.

    Cooking is one of my passions,I love it.I always wanted to be a chef when I was younger and I would still love to be but it's the unsociable hours that put me off and there isn't a great income from it until you become a highly recognized chef like those celebrity chefs. There is nothing better than good food.

    My ma is Donauschwäbisch, so this is part German, part Yugoslav. I never measure this because I learned to make it at my mother's knee. It's a pretty standard concept anyway.

    - boneless pork chops (one per person)
    - flour with salt (celery salt is nice if you've got it)
    - egg, beaten with a bit of milk
    - breadcrumbs, with pepper & paprika mixed in
    - butter, to fry
    - wedges lemon and parsley, to serve

    1. Name the pork chops after your problems. This is an important step.
    2. Beat the ever loving sh!t out of the pork chops with a meat mallet. This is called "catharsis".
    3. When the pork chops are all nice and thin (1/4 inch or so, and even) coat them in the seasoned flour, then into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs.
    4. Fry the schnitzels. Laugh, maniacly. (This is important as it is a German dish)
    5. When they are nice and crispy golden brown, remove them onto paper towels and keep warm in the oven until you are finished all of them. Serve as immediately as possible.
    6. To eat, squeeze lemon juice onto them. The stuff that comes in those little yellow bottles will not cut it for this, I'm afraid.


    Great with salad. Also quite nice the next day in a sandwich, although these are definitely not a very good leftover food.

    5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

    4 tablespoons flour

    4 tablespoons sugar

    2 tablespoons cocoa

    1 egg

    3 tablespoons milk

    3 tablespoons oil

    3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

    a small splash of vanilla extract

    1 large coffee mug


    Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

    Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

    EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

    10 minute Rioja With Steak in its own Pan Gravy.

    Steak (Enough for two)
    Rioja (Enough for two)
    Oil & Seasoning
    Butter.
    Significant Other.

    Dispatch S.O. to P Borza or Chipper of choice with instructions to buy two bags of chips and to ring you when they are 10 minutes from home.

    Meanwhile Season steak with Salt, pepper garlic whatever you like.
    Get a heavy pan smoking hot, add a little oil. When the oil is sizzling hot then add the steak, make sure the steak has not stuck to the pan, if your pan and oil are hot enough it will not stick. Cook on both sides as you desire (without moving or agitating it in any way). Do not crowd the pan, if your portions are large you will have to cook them separately.

    Remove the steak from pan to a warm plate, add a few glugs of Rioja to deglaze the pan, cook off the alcohol from the wine. You may add a little water to augment the gravy if you need to, or if you have excess liquid reduce until you have a thin and intense gravy covering the bottom of the pan. Remove pan from heat and allow the gravy to cool a little, add a knob of butter and any juices that have collected on the steak plate to the gravy and stir through until the butter has just melted. Put the steak on separate plates and drizzle over the gravy. Serve with the rest of the wine and the chips that should be just coming in the door. Some salad leaves would be good here too.

    If you don't like or don't have Rioja use another robust red. [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]You could use Port or Madeira or Marsala, or a dark beer at a pinch.[/FONT]

    I can't take the credit for these as I got it straight from the cooking and recipe forum but I made them a couple of weeks ago and they are without doubt the best cookie recipe ever. Just like the ones you get in M&S apparently!!

    INGREDIENTS
    250 g all-purpose flour
    2 g baking soda
    3 g salt
    170 g unsalted butter, melted
    220 g packed brown sugar
    100 g white sugar
    15 ml vanilla extract
    1 egg
    1 egg yolk
    335 g semisweet chocolate chips



    DIRECTIONS
    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
    Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
    In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
    Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

    This is how I made it tonight. It's different every time I make it, depending on what I've got on hand. Red wine is nice in the sauce, but finishing off the bottle with dinner adds a lot of calories ;)
    • one large yellow onion, diced
    • at least 5 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 1 tbsp oil
    • 400g mince beef
    • punnet white mushrooms, sliced
    • three pack tri colour peppers, diced
    • courgette, diced
    • 1 litre passata
    • 2 tins tomatoes
    • basil
    • oregano
    • salt
    • pepper
    1. Fry the onion and the garlic in the oil until softened
    2. Add the beef and brown
    3. Toss in the veggies and fry a bit
    4. Add the passata, tomatoes, herbs and seasonings
    5. Put the cover on and simmer on low while you start the water boiling for the spaghetti and make some garlic bread. This will mean it should simmer for around 25 minutes.

    This is not mine, it has been in the house for a while, Mum took it out of a magazine as it was so unusual she just had to hold onto it.

    Bacon Ice Cream

    Ingredients



    * For the candied bacon;
    * 5 strips bacon
    * about 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    * For the ice cream custard:
    * 3 tablespoons (45g) salted butter
    * ¾ cup (packed) brown sugar (170g), light or dark (you can use either)
    * 675ml cup half-and-half
    * 5 large egg yolks
    * 2 teaspoons dark rum or whiskey
    * ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
    * optional: ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Directions

    1. To candy the bacon, preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

    2. Lay the strips of bacon on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil, shiny side down.

    3. Sprinkle 1½-2 teaspoons of brown sugar evenly over each strip of bacon, depending on length.

    4. Bake for 12-16 minutes. Midway during baking, flip the bacon strips over and drag them through the dark, syrupy liquid that's collected on the baking sheet. Continue to bake until as dark as mahogany. Remove from oven and cool the strips on a wire rack.

    5. Once crisp and cool, chop into little pieces, about the size of grains of rice.

    6. (Bacon bits can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for a day or so, or stored in the freezer a few weeks ahead.)

    7. To make the ice cream custard, melt the butter in a heavy, medium-size saucepan. Stir in the brown sugar and half of the half-and-half. Pour the remaining half-and-half into a bowl set in an ice bath and set a mesh strainer over the top.

    8.In a separate bowl, stir together the egg yolks, then gradually add some of the warm brown sugar mixture to them, whisking the yolks constantly as you pour. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.

    9.Cook over low to moderate heat, constantly stirring and scraping the bottom with a heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the spatula.

    10.Strain the custard into the half-and-half, stirring over the ice bath, until cool. Add liquor, vanilla and cinnamon, if using.

    11. Refrigerate the mixture. Once thoroughly chilled, freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add the bacon bits during the last moment of churning, or stir them in when you remove the ice cream from the machine.

    In the interest of my sanity, I'm going to have to hide that recipe from Mr Xiney.

    Otherwise, he's gonna make us buy an ice cream maker.

    I've never had that Bacon Ice cream, I can't imagine what it's like but my mother has made it and loved it. Not my cup of tea I don't think.

    Xiney maybe you should make it and i will come and taste because if i make it and don't like it then it's a waste.

    No, you really need to use an ice cream maker. Otherwise you'll just get a brick.

    Ice cream makers churn in air while little crystals of ice freeze, but doesn't let large, hard chunks of ice form.

    Easiest Pasta EVAR!

    Tagliatelle
    Cream
    Ham
    Cheddar Cheese
    White Plonk

    Cook pasta and drain
    Add enough cream to coat
    Add a splosh of wine
    Stir grated cheese through
    Mix chopped up ham through

    Serve with salad (french dressing is nice to cut through the creaminess) and crusty rolls.


    Make lots. Its addictive.

    Mmmmm beautiful, I love cooking that dish but I don't usually put the wine in nor do I serve it with salad.
    I'd say pasta is my favourite food,can't get enough of it:)

    Chicken fillets (one per person).
    One onion
    A few mushrooms (optional)
    Butter or olive oil
    spoonful of flour

    Add the flour and make into a paste
    Then add the wine and cream keep stirring so it doesn't go lumpy.

    Can be eaten as lunch, or as a side dish. GREAT with herby garlicy grilled chicken/salmon. Very summery & very healthy.
    • 200g dried chickpeas
    • 4 small tomatoes, diced reserve juice!
    • 6 or 7 ribs celery, diced
    • 5 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 1/4 c olive oil
    • 1/4 c white wine vinegar
    • 1 tsp salt
    • parsley
    1. Soak the chickpeas overnight in plenty of water.
    2. Drain and rinse well
    3. Cook the chickpeas according to the directions. You kept the bag, didn't you? (Bring them to a boil, turn down the heat a bit and cover. Cook them for about an hour - test them to see if they're done.)
    4. Cool the chickpeas in the fridge for 30 minutes
    5. Add the tomatoes (and the juice that leaked out) and the celery to the chickpeas
    6. Put the garlic, oil, vinegar, salt and parsley into a jar. Shake it.
    7. Pour it over the chickpeas, and toss to combine. Refrigerate until serving. Keeps very well, for a few days.

    Hi Magnumlady

    Tried this and it was great but....

    If you use yoghurt (like I did) instead of the cream, it tastes almost exactly the same with far less calories. (I'm obsessed with calories as I'm a big lad who can't afford to get bigger)

    +1 we use natural yoghurt in most things instead of sour cream or cremefraiche as well.
