Pollo A La Ana - Venezuelan Creamy Chicken

Pollo A La Ana - Venezuelan Creamy Chicken

Around the world for £4 or less took us to Venezuela this time!

Ingredients:-

1 Chicken Breast per person (We butchered a £2.35 Chicken and roasted the remainder yesterday)
1 Tbsp  Oil
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Teaspoon Adobo Seasoning (See below Sue made her own)
¼ Onion (chopped in small pieces)
2 Cloves or Garlic grated
½ Cup Sliced Mushroom
A slug of White Wine
1 Cup of single Cream
3 Spring Onions
Chopped Coriander to dress

Adobo Seasoning:-

2 Tbsp Salt
1 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tsps Black Pepper
1 1/ Tsps Oregano
1 1/2 Tsps Onion Powder
1 1/2 Tsps Cumin
1 Tsps Garlic Salt
1 Tsp Chilli Powder

Method:-

(1) Cut the Chicken breasts into halves.
(2) Season the chicken breasts with the Oil, Worcestershire, Soy sauce and Adobo seasoning in a bowl.
(3) Leave the chicken breasts to marinade. In the meantime cut the Spring Onions & Onions, and begin to sauté them along with the minced garlic in a large pan.
(4) Add the chicken to the pan and begin to sauté them.
(5) When the Chicken is partially cooked, add the Mushrooms and Coriander, and continue to cook for about 5 more minutes.
(6) Add the Wine to the pan and let it cook at medium heat.
7. When the Chicken breasts and the Mushrooms start to brown and there is little Wine left, you can add the Cream and let it cook for a while to allow the flavours to blend. Dress with a little Chopped Coriander and serve.

We served ours with Dauphinoise potatoes and sautéed Leeks and Broccoli. We made a mistake with the Mature Cheddar we had in the fridge and it split in the Dauphinoise Potatoes. But it still tasted good.

Pork Cherry sauce & Tray Roasted Veg

It’s Prunus season. That’s Cherries first and then Plums for those who can’t be bothered with Latin names! Boneless Belly Pork at £2.19 didn’t look too promising in it’s wrapper. But it worked out really well!

Ingredients for the Tray Roast:-

Carrots
Red Onion
Mushrooms
Garlic
Plumbs
Cabbage
Chillies
Black Lime & 1/2 the juice of a Lemon
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Shake it all up with the Oil, Salt & Pepper
(2) Put it in a tray in the oven at 180C
(3) Watch some TV or have a glass of wine (We didn’t do either as we have no TV or wine!)
(4) Turn so that everything roasts evenly
(5) Serve!

Ingredients for the Cherry Sauce:-

Cherries
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Juice of ½ a Lemon

Method:-

(1) Place everything excluding the Lemon Juice in a sauce pan and boil.
(2) Once the Cherries have softened take the sauce off the heat and press through a sieve.
(3) Add the Lemon juice and bring back to a simmer.

Belly Pork:-

Score with a knife, rub with Oil, Salt & Pepper and roast at 180C until the crackling is crispy. I’m pretty sure nobody needs in-depth instruction here!

We demolished ours we a few boiled Garlic Spuds for a change and the whole thing was really taste. Sorry about the very casual approach today, but this is a really easy, quick and tasty recipe you can do while you’re fighting with you printer, washing machine or children!
