Today we had chicken casserole for dinner with fruit crumble for afters.
The chicken casserole was a very simple affair. I popped raw chicken and chopped root and other vegetables, in a casserole dish. I then put in enough water to cover the ingredients and a couple of stock cubes. I put the lid on and placed the dish in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 4 for an hour.
With the fruit crumble, I took a few blueberries and chopped up 3 brambly apples and 4 plums. Each layer I popped in the dish, I covered with a tablespoon of brown sugar. For the topping I took 5 tbsp of flour, 2 tbsp brown sugar and 2 tbsp of margarine. I rubbed the margarine into the flour and sugar until it looked like breadcrumbs. I sprinkled this on top and popped the dish in the oven at gas mark 4 for 45 minutes. I served it with a little plain yogurt.
About Me
- Sarah-Ellen
- I will attempt to update wartime recipes to modern tastes, in order to keep up with new trends, attitudes and approaches to food and it's preparation while still keeping a traditional British wartime feel to recipes. I will start by making recipes to the letter and move forward from there to encompass different modern diets. I will attempt to make meals first fit in to a popular diet plan and then will move on to Vegetarian/Vegan versions. So that everyone can enjoy British wartime recipes. This experiment is for my own amusement as well as to feel closer to my grandparents over the years they cooked and lived through hard times.
