Warm summer evening

Well, it was quite warm here yesterday & we fancied something fresh & clean tasting for dinner, so that called for Nigella's Chicken with spring onion, chilli and greek yoghurt.

The recipe can be found in the Fast Food section of 'How To Eat' as it can be made quite quickly, though yesterday I marinated the chicken whilst we went out. I say marinade, it literally is the juice of a lemon & a tablespoon of olive oil!

The refreshing part of the dish is the yoghurt - take 1/2 bunch spring onion & 1/2 a green chilli finely chop. Take 1/2 cucumber & dice it up quite small. Then take a small handful of coriander & mint (courtesy of the tub on the balcony) and a clove of garlic. Use mezzaluna to chop these very finely. Mix all ingredients into 200g greek yoghurt.

When ready to eat, heat a table spoon of oil in the frying pan & add the chicken - cook for at least 5 minutes each side until cooked through. Just before serving throw over the left over marinade to make it shiny & a bit sticky.

Serve with a simple salad - or just a nice tomato salad, crusty bread & very cold white wine. Mmmm.
