Poultry = Pain-Free Cooking

Schoolwork has interfered with my adventures with Jamie. (The last JO dish I attempted was two weekends ago!) I have cooked recently, it's just all been large quantities of simple dishes to last me a week's worth of lunches. Although it seems like ages ago, here is the write-up of Esther cooking Chicken & Leek Stroganoff *...








How did it go?

- First of all, I would like to point out that, for maybe the very first time, I used every single ingredient listed in the cookbook. No omissions or substitutions.
- The recipe itself was pretty easy to follow and was pulled off without a hitch. (Thanks mom for remembering to turn on the rice cooker!)
- The sauce was a little watery initially and needed some flour to thicken it up. After that, it tasted delicious!
-There were no complaints about this dish. It's therefore safe to say that Jamie Oliver's "Chicken & Leek Stroganoff" is a nonoffensive dish... FOR EVERYONE.
- Although quite tasty at the time, it didn't keep well. I thought I could enjoy the leftovers for lunch the following day, instead I was greeted with lumpy sauce and soggy chicken. Yum.


*Note: I couldn't find an official recipe for this dish on Jamie Oliver's website, so I linked a member one. It's not true to the cookbook, but I am too tired (and sick) to copy the recipe out.
