Recipes Griddled Scottish Chicken Thigh Fillets and Chorizo Sandwich Info

A Simple but Tasty Alternative to a Basic Chicken Sandwich

Griddled chicken thigh fillets and sliced chorizo sandwich

A chicken sandwich prepared at home for your own consumption will often be a pretty bland affair. This could be true whether you're in Scotland, Australia or virtually anywhere in between. It may just be some leftover chicken and a bit of salt between two slices of bread in a worst case scenario. When I had a couple of chicken thigh fillets leftover recently however from the Chicken Bhuna Curry Pie Recipe which I prepared and featured on this blog, I decided to think a little bit out of the box and use not only the leftover chicken but anything else I had lying around in the fridge which needed using up on my sandwich.

Chicken thigh fillets

Ingredients per Sandwich

2 skinless chicken thigh fillets
Vegetable oil
Salt and white pepper
6 thin slices Spanish chorizo
1 soft bread roll
1 tablespoon soured cream
Few leaves of coriander (cilantro), roughly chopped

Starting to griddle chicken thigh fillets

Directions

If you don't have a griddle pan, you could of course fry the chicken thigh fillets. Be aware, however, that they will take a good bit longer to cook.

Open up the chicken thigh fillets and season with salt and pepper. Brush all over - on both sides - with vegetable oil.

Chicken thigh fillets griddling on second side

Bring your griddle pan up to a smoking hot heat before carefully laying in the chicken thighs. These thighs took two minutes on each side but do make sure they are properly and fully cooked.

Lift the griddled chicken thigh fillets to a plate and let them sit and rest for a minute or so while you assemble the rest of your ingredients.

Griddled chicken thigh and chorizo roll is ready to eat

One unexpected benefit I found from this delicious creation was that the heat of the chicken thighs almost instantly slightly crisped the chorizo, giving it an almost streaky bacon like texture.

Recipes Potted Scottish Salmon - An Easy and Tasty Fish Spread Info

Poached Scottish salmon potted in dill herb butter A few weeks ago, I saw a programme on TV about potted shrimps, showing the full process from catching the shrimps, to cooking them to potting them for eating. It reminded me of how I made several variations of jellied conger eel last summer to delicious effect and I got to wondering how I could use the general concept to come up with a Scottish version of potted shrimp using a typically Scottish fish/seafood. I did consider langoustines first of all but sadly couldn't get hold of any so I came up with the perhaps slightly unorthodox idea of using salmon. The results were as good as I could ever have hoped for and this is a concept I will be doing a lot of experimentation with in future. Scottish salmon and flavourants ready for poaching Ingredients (Makes 4 Small Ramekins/Servings) 6 ounce Scottish salmon fillet, skin on 1/2 small white onion, peeled and sliced 1 bay leaf 6 to 8 whole black peppercorns Salt Combination of 2 parts ...

Recipes Scotch Lamb Burgers with Mint Sauce and Deep Fried Tattie Wedges Info

Beautiful, succulent and tasty lamb burgers When you buy a burger from a fast food outlet, it is likely it will have been made with beef, pork, or a combination of the two - as well as a number of potentially very unsavoury ingredients which you would probably prefer not to hear or think about... Even when burgers are prepared at home, beef or pork are the preferred meats usually used. If you're looking for an alternative for your burgers, you can't do better than use lamb. The prepared burgers are so tender and sucuulent, you may actually never consider using beef or pork again. Chopping potatoes in to wedges Ingredients 2 or 3 medium floury/starchy potatoes 1/2 pound minced/ground lamb Salt and pepper 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary Vegetable oil for frying 2 soft bread rolls 1 tablespoon (approximately) mint sauce Potato wedges are steeped in cold water Directions The potato wedges are prepared in three stages.

Recipes Haggis and Scottish Root Vegetable Stew Info

A Tasty if Unusual Accompaniment to Haggis Haggis with Scottish root vegetable stew Haggis is of course most commonly served simply with tatties (potatoes) and neeps (Swede turnip/rutabaga). The tatties and neeps may be served relatively plain or they may combined to form clapshot, where they are mashed together with chives, butter and white pepper. As experimenting with food in so many different ways is one of my greatest passions in life, I decided on this particular occasion to serve the haggis not only with tatties and neeps but with a few other popular Scottish root vegetables in the form of a hearty vegetable stew. Individual portion haggis The quantity of vegetable stew I have prepared here will make for two large portions or up to four medium portions. The amount of haggis you therefore prepare should be adjusted accordingly. Ingredients (2 Generous Portions) 2 individual haggis servings 1 small Swede turnip/rutabaga 2 medium to large carrots (or equivalent size combination) 8 ...
