cooking chicken

johnstar — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 10:33:55 +0100

I would imagine that some of the fat is absorbed by the chicken, though a lot ends up in the drip tray of the BBQ. If you removed the skin, I think it may dry out too much. To remedy that, you could try covering with foil, though I think the fat gives it some of the flavour.

Thanks for check it out - however if you cook with skin does, then take it off to eat - does that mean the fat from the skin is still absorbed by the chicken..

Just finished my lemon chicken dish, so will be uploading that shortly.

Darren,

Check out my latest recipe 'Barbecued Roast Chicken' I cook with the skin on, but you can discard this once cooked if you wish.

mexican fried rice

Dessler — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:25:25 +0100

It's really easy. You usually get a plastic cup with the rice cooker. Lets say you are cooking for 2 people. For me and Rangi, I put 3 cups of rice and then, 6 cups of water (you must use the same cup that you used for the rice). Once you have filled you rice cooking with the rice and water, just click the cook button. I like to put a drop of olive oil so that the rice does not stick too the pan.

It takes about 30 to 45 minutes for 3 cups of rice to cook. Once cooked, the rice cooker automatically clicks to warm, so it keeps your rice hot and ready for serving.

1 x cup of rice = 2 cups of water
2 x cups of rice = 4 cups of water
3 x cups of rice = 6 cups of water.

Hi Julia,

Do you have a rice cooker? I find brown rice cooks the same as white and I definitely prefer brown rice. I have a rice cooker at home and it works a treat. So easy to use. How many people are you cooking for?

Guess what we're having for dinner... What sort of rice would you recommend? I usually use brown rice as its healthier but this takes a long time to cook.

Hey Julia, That sounds great!! Another great starter that I have mastered is the Crab Quesadillas (see video below). I add more chillies though, because we like it hot :-) xx

No you don't taste the olive oil at all, so it's just for health rather than taste. Other ingredients I've started including recently are fresh spinach and frozen brocolli - again you don't really taste them but you get all the goodness. They do make the shake green though, which takes a bit of getting used to!

My friend Wendy makes this great rollup which is then cut into slices: Start with flaky pastry. Roll out thin and spread Marmite on it. Sprinkle cheese on top. Roll up to make giant sausage roll shape and then cut into slices. Cook in hot oven until turning golden which doesn't take long.

I'm surprised about the olive oil. Doesn't it make it taste oily?

@alexwald: Yeah the olive oil makes the shake more nutritionally balanced. The macros are ~50/30/20 carbs/protein/fat respectively.

Personally I tweak rangi's original ingredients and use flax seeds instead of the olive oil, but they do change the taste and consistency of the shake.

@rangi500: Thanks for the pointers on whey flavours, and welcome back!

My protein shake

rangi500 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:50:52 +0000

No you don't even taste the olive oil, the only reason I add it is to get the "good fats" provided by the oil.

alexwald — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:48:25 +0000

Why do you put olive oil in it? Doesn't it taste funny?

Re: My protein shake

rangi500 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:12:58 +0000

Hey Snacks, glad you like it! I'm just back from 3 months in Spain where I didn't have a blender, so really looking forward to getting back into my shakes routine tomorrow morning.

I like to use banana or vanilla flavour normally, but chocolate flavour can work well with this shake too.
