Experimental Cooking Continues...

I wanted to be a little more adventurous with herbs yesterday cause I was suddenly so jelak with rice and dishes with coconut milk.

So I opened up this recipe book and selected a few from different countries. Let's go international, I thought! I have to admit that I was a bit over ambitious at first cause I was initially going to prepare four items plus dessert. Unfortunately by 6:30pm, I was already exhausted to the max! So I didn't get to prepare Naz's favourite caesar Salad (yum yum) but for his sake, will prepare that today instead hehe.

Anyway, these were the things that I managed to prepare:

French Style-Pot Roast Chicken (with a sprinkle of rosemary, thymes, basil sprigs and bay leaves). Sadly, my oven is a very cheap oven and does not roast very well so the chicken was only crispy at the top whereas it was supposed to be brown all over. The tiny bits on top of the chicken were actually pieces of salami and smoked chicken fried with large onions in olive oil! Even though it may not look that appealing but you know what, it was actually quite tasty! I really love the aroma and the herbs. Superb!


Spanish Chili Potatoes


Mediterranean Garlic Toast with Salami (Munira's favourite)
