Thanks to Alice, who gave me 3 older editions of it, I recently subscribed to Good Food magazine. Love it, every single paper is packed with good ideas I’d never have thought of.It came in handy this evening.<\/p>\n

I tried out a side dish\u00a0 tonight, made of courgettes and rice to go with my chicken kievs- a room for improvement here, I must say.<\/p>\n

I fried up a couple of onions, thrown in 2 sliced courgettes and 2 handfulls of rice, topped it all with some hot chicken stock and seasoned well. I cooked it for about 5 minutes, added some grated cheddar and a table spoon of creme fraiche, made it all quite watery with the stock and transferred to the casserole dish. Covered with some more grated cheddar – in it went to the oven for about 40 minutes. When I took it out and tasted it, the rice was beautifully cooked with the flavours of the courgettes and chicken stock with a hint of cheese. Loved it!<\/p>\n

I served it with an attempt of totally home made chicken kievs. I used to buy them ready from Waitrose, but having recently seen a BBC programme about\u00a0 mechanically retrieved meat I don’t think I’ll be buying it any time soon again, though I normally trust Waitrose.<\/p>\n

I seasoned 2 chicken breasts well, stuffed with some garlic butter- could have been more generous with it- dipped in egg and breadcrumbs, fried and finished off in the oven.<\/p>\n

Really liked the courgette thing as an alternative to roasted potatoes or mash.<\/p>\n

It looked like that…<\/p>\n
