Simply Delish - Chicken Nuggets

Hi all,

Hope you are well. This week we're sharing a recipe for Chicken Nuggets which are baked rather than fried and covered in breadcrumbs rather than batter. Healthier but still very tasty. 

Ingredients

1 cup of corn flakes or breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tsp oregano leaves
1 1/2 tsp thyme leaves
2 whole boneless skinned chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

Heat oven to 425 (220). In a small bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, oregano and thyme. Dip chicken pieces in melted butter, then coat with crumb  mixture. Place chicken on baking paper on a baking tray and bake for 10 to 15 mins or until fork tender and crisp.

Cheers!

Simply Delish - Spaghetti and Meatballs

Hi all,

All is well here. It's the last month of Winter in New Zealand so we've been enjoying quick, hot meals to warm us up while we watch the Olympics. Have you been enjoying the Games?

Serves 2

Ingredients


250g lean beef mince

pic source : KB and Whitesnakes Home

1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of chopped garlic 
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 tbsp mixed herbs
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce

1 egg, lightly beaten

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups store-bought, bottled tomato pasta sauce
200g spaghetti

1. Heat oven to 200C. Combine mince, onion, breadcrumbs, worcestershire sauce mixed herbs and egg in a bowl and season well with salt and pepper.

2. Mix together, pounding the mixture with your hand for a couple of minutes (this will help the meatballs hold together when they’re cooked).

3. With damp hands, shape mixture into 20 balls and place on a wire rack set over a baking pan lined with foil.

4. Bake meatballs in an oven heated to for 20 minutes until browned. Place tomato pasta sauce in a saucepan and bring to the boil to heat through. Add browned meatballs and stir to coat in sauce.

5. Cook spaghetti in a saucepan with plenty of boiling, salted water for 10 minutes or until just tender to the bite, when you taste a little piece. Serve spaghetti in bowls topped with meatballs and tomato sauce.


Tip: Using a store-bought bottled tomato pasta sauce is often easier but you can use homemade pasta sauce instead if you have it.

Cheers!

Simply Delish - Roast Beef

Roast Beef what a treat!

Recipe from Jamie Oliver

Ingredients

1.5kg topside of beef

• 2 medium onions
• 2 carrots
• 2 sticks of celery
• 1 bulb of garlic
a small bunch of fresh thyme, rosemary, bay or sage, or a mixture
• olive oil
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

To prepare your beef:



• Take your beef out of the fridge 30 minutes before it goes into the oven

• Preheat your oven to 240°C/475°F/ gas 9

• There’s no need to peel the vegetables – just give them a wash and roughly chop them

• Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled

• Pile all the veg, garlic and herbs into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil

• Drizzle the beef with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the meat

• Place the beef on top of the vegetables



To cook your beef:


• Place the roasting tray in the preheated oven

• Turn the heat down immediately to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef

• If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier

• For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes

• If you’re doing roast potatoes and veggies, this is the time to crack on with them – get them into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking

• Baste the beef halfway through cooking and if the veg look dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them burning

• When the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so

• Cover it with a layer of tinfoil and a tea towel and put aside while you make your gravy, horseradish sauce and Yorkshire puddings
