Chicken and Bacon Salad with Gherkins

Chicken and Bacon Salad with Gherkins

We roasted a whole Chicken on Saturday. We  never manage to eat a whole Chicken in one sitting between the two of us, so we had the best part of half of the meat in the fridge. It really was too warm last night for another cooked meal so we opted for a quick Chicken and Bacon salad which only needed the Bacon grilling and a Potato boiling.

Ingredients:-

Cooked Chicken, stripped and cubed
4 Rashers of Bacon, grilled and cut into strips
2 Spring Onion, sliced
2 Gherkins, finely chopped
Black Pepper
Mayonnaise
1 Large Potato. Boiled, cooled and cubed
A squeeze of Lime juice

Method:-

(1) Reserve the green tops from the Spring Onions and a little of the chopped Bacon.
(2) Mix everything else in a large bowl.
(3) Serve over a fresh green salad.
(4) Dress with the remaining Spring Onion and Bacon.

We still had a little left over, but that was doomed to become my breakfast!

Pork Shoulder - Version #1

Yesterday I popped to the supermarket to see if I could find meal inspirations. Sue’s not being feeling very well for a while and we’d both got to the “I don’t know” stage regarding what to cook next. £2.97 for a whole Pork shoulder. That’ll be inspiration for a few meals - right there…..

Slow roast Pork in a large Gluten free Yorkshire Pudding, with Hassleback Spuds, Tender Stem Broccoli, Corn on the Cob and Red Wine Gravy.

This is more of a method than a recipe.

Method:-

(1) Oil the outside of the shoulder and season well on all sides with Salt & Pepper.
(2) Cook at 180c uncovered for 30 minutes.
(3) Reduce the heat to 160c, cover with foil and cook slowly for a further 5 hours.

You won’t get crackling using this method, but you will get outstandingly tender Pork….
