… Herby Vegetable Couscous & Tzatziki<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m cooking a Greek chicken dish tonight.\u00a0 I’m doing this meal for Gavin’s, my house mate’s, family.\u00a0 We all used to go to the same church when I lived in Nottinghamshire, about ten years ago.\u00a0 It’s nice to catch up with them all.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By and large this is a relatively easy meal to cook.\u00a0 There isn’t loads of cooking.\u00a0 Cooking couscous is not really cooking.\u00a0 Pouring hot water over something does not count as cooking.\u00a0 If it did then having making pot noodle would count as cooking and we can’t have that!<\/span><\/p>\n

As with most of the chicken dishes, the chicken is bashed flat, with its seasoning\u00a0 before being fried.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You also make a tzatziki for this meal.\u00a0 Cucumber is grated, slated and then the juice is squeezed out of the granted cucumber.\u00a0 There is an unbelievable amount of liquid that comes out of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is much more than half way through the time when, I realise that my chicken is not cooking very quickly.\u00a0 I had had the hob on much lower than it should have been.\u00a0 I turn it up, but I know I will now not hit the fifteen minute mark.\u00a0 It’s a shame because the couscous and tzatziki is finished by a little after fourteen minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Peppers and olives and feta and peas are added to the couscous and it does look pretty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wait and wait for the chicken to cook.\u00a0 Finally it is done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a nice tasty meal. As I cooked for a few more people than the recipe was supposed to cater for I added one more chicken breast and some warmed up pitta breads.\u00a0 I also made an apple and plumb crumble.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh by the way my hob has been fixed so I now have all four rings available.\u00a0 This should make cooking much easier.\u00a0 Less juggling of pans.\u00a0 I’m not very good at juggling pans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
