… Chillies, Guacamole & Salad\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Today I felt like something a bit comforting.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really know why.\u00a0 Perhaps it was the late night last night? I have been looking forward to doing this one from the very first night I bought the book. It looked, great and fun and snacky and comforting.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I had a feeling this would be done in the fifteen minutes with out a great deal of hassle.\u00a0 The only fiddly bit was separating the strips of pancetta.\u00a0 It all went quite smoothly.\u00a0 The chicken was on in a few minutes.\u00a0 I made the salad on my big chopping board at the table as well as the little oil\/vinegar dip. The chillies and the lime wedges were also prepared at the table.\u00a0 The guacamole was also quick and easy.\u00a0 There was more than a little bit too much to go in the baguette and so that will make a nice little snack later (perhaps after I vote later on, on my way to the pub for a pint). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The only slight issue I had was that my chicken came with one very big breast and one quite small one.\u00a0 I probably didn\u2019t bash the big one as much as I should have. It was a little over the prescribed 1.5cm thick.\u00a0 When it came to start making the sandwich (after only twelve minutes to be fair).\u00a0 The middle of the big breast was just slightly under done.\u00a0 As it happened I didn\u2019t need all the chicken to fill the baguette and the under cooked bit cooked through in the residual heat of the pan whilst I finished the rest of the meal off. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a messy dish to eat.\u00a0 Gavin described it as not a first date meal<\/em>.\u00a0 It really is not.\u00a0 I got more than a little bit of guacamole down my face which splirted out the sides as I bit into the baguette.\u00a0 This was made all the worst by the fact that, for some reason, I almost have a proper beard at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think Jamie is playing slightly fast and loose with the term BLT here.\u00a0 There is B<\/strong>acon (Pancetta at least) and L<\/strong>ettuce and T<\/strong>omato.\u00a0 Just five cherry tomatoes, hidden in the guacamole.\u00a0 With only four rashers of pancetta, which shrivels whilst it cooks, the only part of the BLT which is really prevalent is the lettuce.\u00a0 However I think we can forgive Jamie for his misdescription.\u00a0 This is so much more than a BLT.\u00a0 With the chicken and the salad and the guacamole and the chillies it is absolutely lovely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This really is very lovely.\u00a0 It is Great. It is Fun.\u00a0 It is snacky.\u00a0 And it is comforting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh and, although this is meant for four, most of it was eaten and mostly by me. \u00a0In my defence I have had neither breakfast nor lunch today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
