One-pot Italian Tomato Chicken And Rice



ONE-POT ITALIAN TOMATO CHICKEN AND RICE

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp olive oil
4 chicken thigh cutlets
4 drumsticks
1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges
1 red capsicum/bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
4 whole garlic cloves, smashed with the back of a knife
½ cup pitted olives
½ cup Sundried tomato strips in oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 cup long grain rice
400g can chopped tomatoes
1½ cups chicken stock (or 1½ cups water + 1 tablespoon vegetable stock powder)
freshly grated parmesan cheese (to serve)
chopped parsley (to serve)

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 200c | 400F. Heat the oil in a large, shallow ovenproof cast iron skillet/or pan. Add the chicken and fry for 3-4 mins on medium-high heat. Turn and fry again until golden all over. Add the onion, red capsicum/peppers and garlic and fry for about 3 mins or until lightly golden and onion is transparent.

Transfer the chicken onto a plate; stir the olives, sundried tomato strips, basil, oregano, parsley and rice into the pan; allow the rice to soak up all the juices. Return the chicken pieces back to the pan on top of the rice; add the tomatoes and stock. Bring everything to the boil, rotate the chicken in the sauce before transferring to the oven. Cover with foil and allow to bake for about 40 minutes (depending on your oven) until the rice has softened. Remove cover and change oven settings to grill/broil on medium heat; grill/broil for a further 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is crispy and golden.

Season with a little salt to taste and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese (optional).

Nutella Stuffed Salted Caramel Blondies



NUTELLA STUFFED SALTED CARAMEL BLONDIES

Serves: 16 Blondies

Salted Caramel sauce flavoured FUDGY blondies stuffed with Nutella!

INGREDIENTS

Salted Caramel Sauce: *(See Notes)

½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons light/reduced fat butter
3 tablespoons cooking cream (I used Philadelphia reduced fat)
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Blondies:

½ cup light/reduced fat butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1½ cups plain flour (or all purpose)
¼ teaspoon salt
12 teaspoons Nutella

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 175c | 350F. Line a 7x10-inch baking pan with baking/parchment paper. Set aside.

For Caramel:

Add brown sugar to a small nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until sugar begins to melt.

Lower heat and add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuously stirring until melted and smooth.

Remove from heat and slowly stir in cream and salt until caramel is smooth and glossy.

Allow to cool slightly

For Blondies:

Cream together butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add in eggs and vanilla. Whisk again until smooth. Add in the flour and salt, mixing slowly until just combined. Gently fold in the caramel sauce until it has swirled trough the batter and pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.

Drop teaspoonfuls of Nutella onto the batter in a single layer. Spread lightly with the back of a metal spoon (or your fingertips). Cover evenly with remaining batter.

Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Wait 10 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool before slicing. (I slice mine while still warm for the 'Nutella ooze' effect).

NOTES

*To make these lower in fat and calories, you could supplement the caramel sauce with a low-joule 'diet' caramel sauce.

Lining the baking tray with baking (or parchment) paper ensured no washing pans!

CorningWare At Kitchenique


For more than half a century, CorningWare® bakeware has married exceptional performance and versatile design with an eye toward the modern. In fact, the original glass-ceramic material, Pyroceram®, was a marvel of engineering, designed in the 1950s during the space race to safely absorb huge temperature fluctuations in rocket nose cones. Once introduced for home use in 1958 to busy yet innovative cooks, it was able to go directly from freezer to oven to table, where its modern designs added a touch of everyday elegance. Given the versatility to pull triple-duty in the kitchen, CorningWare brand engineers designed each piece with tight-fitting lids for storage, the requisite shapes, sizes and durability to serve as bakeware, and fashionable designs that were at home on any table, in any kitchen.

Ricotta Rustic Pie



Ricotta Rustic Pie

Serves: 4­-6

Ingredients

2 cups cooked spinach or swiss chard (I used 1 cup of each) (must drain really well, wring out a small amount at a time in your hands to remove as much moisture as possible)

1 cup (250 grams) ricotta

⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1 egg

2 crust pie dough (I used 1 crust because I used a small 7 inch/ 18 centimeter cake pan and the extra dough. I used cutouts to cover)

Instructions

1. Pre­heat oven to 350° (180° celsius). Lightly grease a 7 inch (18 centimeter) pie/cake pan.

2. Roll out the pie crust and fit to the pie/cake pan, with the leftover dough use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes, strips or use an extra pie crust to cover the top completely.

3. In a medium bowl mix together well­drained swiss chard and or spinach (remove as much moisture as possible, nothing worse than a soggy pie)*, ricotta, parmesan cheese and egg.

4. Add filling to pie crust and cover with cut outs, strips or extra pie crust. Brush the top with a beaten egg or milk. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, let sit for 5 minutes, cut and serve.
