Seems it ended up - a bit ' snooty '.

So - no fancy - dancy - stuff - just good fresh ideas for dins.

Oh - & Freddie - just loved the zucchini slice - if you could just put it here one more time - I swear not to lose it again.

And please - this time add the - zucchinis. lol.

Here - tonight - Chicken Schnit's with salad.

OK - anything else you would like me to pick up on the way.

Cream - for dessert - perhaps.

[tasfleur]

A bottle of Baileys Cream, yes indeed, a good idea thank you very much, will make a most splendid dessert! ....

I'm the cat who got the cream... ha ha.

This is on the menu for tomorrow night I have the chicken marinating

I also used thighs instead of the maryland.

Butter Chicken

4 skinless chicken thighs, cut into 4 pieces
¼ cup Greek-style yoghurt
1 tbsp ginger, minced + 1 extra tsp of minced ginger
2 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
50g butter
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cardamon pods
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp ground Kashmiri chilli* (alternatively use paprika)
2 tbsp tomato paste
½ tsp garam masala
1 tomato, diced
200ml cream
Salt
To serve, rice, mint chutney and raita

Combine the garlic, 1 tbsp ginger, paprika, 1 tsp each of cumin and coriander, pinch of salt and yoghurt. Add the chicken and marinate for 2-3 hours or even better overnight.

To make the sauce, melt butter and add the onion, cardamom and cinnamon stick with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 minutes to soften. Now add the chilli powder and the rest of the ground cumin and coriander, followed by the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the fresh tomato and cook with the lid on for another 5 minutes. Now add the garam masala, followed by the cream and simmer for 10 minutes. If too thick add a little water. Note: This can be made ahead of time.

Remove chicken from the fridge and bring to room temperature. Preheat the grill element in the oven and line a tray with a rack. Brush the rack with a little vegetable oil. Place the chicken pieces on the rack and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning frequently to ensure the chicken is evenly charred on both sides. Once cooked take out of the oven and with tongs, remove meat from the rack.

Bring the back up to a simmer and add the chicken pieces cook for 4-5 minutes. Serve with

twyngwyn ... a big thank you to you for posting the impossible quiche recipe.  Here it is straight out of the oven a few minutes ago.

I added a crushed garlic clove just to kick it along a bit ... but the aroma of it cooking is fantastic.  I'll just chop up a salad very quickly and that should do it for dinner tonight.

Please forgive my question but I am not that experienced at creative cooking, but I do love quiche.

Did you bake it in the receptacle shown in the image? I am thinking of having a go at the recipe, but also what to bake it in!

[imastawka]

Any oven proof dish will do.   Even a casserole dish.

Tas used a glass pie dish.

I use a ceramic one.

You can also put sliced tomato on the top before baking if you want.
