Comfort & Company Night🧡 Every other week, Jake and I set aside an evening to cook something comforting and just be together. No phones, no fuss, just good food and proper company. This week’s dinner was too good not to share, so here’s what we made (and how you can make it too) Save this for your next cosy night in 🫶 Whipped Feta & Heirloom Tomato Tartlet (Starter – serves 2-6) You’ll need: * 1 sheet of puff pastry * ½ to ¾ block of feta * 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt * 1 clove garlic * Fresh dill or mint * Squeeze of lemon juice * Olive oil * Salt & pepper * Heirloom tomatoes (sliced) To make: 1. Preheat oven to 180ºC (fan). 2. In a bowl or blender, whip together feta, Greek yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, herbs, olive oil, salt & pepper until smooth and fluffy. 3. Lightly prick the puff pastry with a fork (this stops it puffing too much in the middle), then spread the whipped feta mix evenly across. 4. Lay on your sliced tomatoes, drizzle with a little more olive oil, and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden. 5. Finish with extra herbs and a final glug of olive oil. Creamy Bucatini with Crispy Chicken (Main – serves 2) You’ll need: For the chicken: * 2 chicken breasts * Paprika * Lawry’s seasoning (or your favourite all-purpose blend) * Garlic powder * Onion powder * Salt & pepper * Olive oil For the sauce: * 1 small onion (finely chopped) * 2 cloves garlic (minced) * 1 bag of spinach * 300ml double cream * 150ml chicken stock * ½ block of parmesan (plus the rind if you have it) * 200–250g bucatini pasta (or spaghetti) To make: 1. Season chicken with all your spices and sear in olive oil until golden. Finish in the oven if needed while you make the sauce. 2. In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic until soft. 3. Add spinach and let it wilt, then pour in cream and chicken stock. 4. Stir in grated parmesan and the rind (remove rind before serving). 5. Cook bucatini until al dente, then toss it through the sauce. 6. Slice the cooked chicken and lay it on top of the creamy pasta to serve. It was divineee and so simple to pull together. Let me know if you’d like more of our Comfort & Company meals — they’re made to be shared, savoured, and saved 💌
The way I’ve been dreaming about this Crispy Fried Chicken and Mac Pie/ Macaroni Cheese all weekend🥵💛🥰 Serves 4 Crispy Fried Chicken🍗 • 6-8 Chicken Thighs (or whatever chicken you want to fry) • 2 Tbsp Greek Yoghurt • 1-2 Tbsp Lemon Juice • 1 Tap Paprika • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder • 1 Tsp Onion Powder • 2 Tsp Lawrys Seasoning For the Flour • 300-400g Plain Flour • 2 Tsp Paprika • 2 Tsp Garlic Powder • 2 Tsp Onion Powder • 2 Tsp Lawrys Seasoning • Pinch of Garlic Salt Macaroni Cheese/ Mac Pie 🥧 • Large Knob of Butter • 1 Tsp Paprika • 1 Tap Garlic Powder • 1 Tsp Onion Powder • 1 Tsp Lawrys Seasoning • 2 Tbsp Corn Flour • Splash of Milk • 300 ml Double Cream • 1 Can Evaporated Milk • 1 Chicken Stock Pot • Large Handful Grated Cheddar Cheese • Large Handful Grated Red Leicester • Large Handful Mozzarella (Small handful of each for topping) • Breadcrumbs or crushed crisps • 1 Litre of Veg/ Sunflower Oil for Frying Method 1. Add all the marinate ingredients with the chicken mix well and leave to rest 2. Next we are working on the Mac and Cheese. Add the butter to a pan and allow to melt, whisk in your seasonings and then whisk in the flour, add a splash of milk if needed to loosen it up and then add your cream, evaporated milk, and stock pot. 3. Add in your cheese and allow to melt and then add in your half cooked macaroni. Mix together and pour into a dish. Sprinkle more of the cheeses on top with breadcrumbs and cook until golden brown on top and bubbling. 4. The chicken, whisk the flour with the seasoning and then coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture. Press firmly so they’re coated well and gently pop into hot oil. You want it on a medium heat on your oven top ideally, at this temperature it should fizz not furiously bubble and burn the chicken. Cook for 15 minutes or so for each piece until cooked through (this will vary depending on the size of your chicken so be mindful of this) Serve everything together and ENJOY🧡
