x_los- Did I say that a while ago we made bacon and wine chicken schnitzel and lamb targine out of Nigella Express? That happened.
- Tonight made this chicken: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/orange-herb-roasted-chicken/detail.aspx# , but added the glaze from this: http://norecipes.com/blog/2011/10/16/orange-chicken-recipe/ . Looked lovely. Have now de-boned it all and put the inedible bits into my on-going Poultry Stock Sack with other chicken and duck remnants. Have thus far made veggie and lamb stock--neither super successful, but the only way to learn is repetition, and it'll save money, be less wasteful, and be good. Have a lot of chicken left over. Can eat it as is or make nice, flavorful, moist orange chicken pieces.
- To go with it and use up stuff, made stuffing out of frozen-from-RH home-made challah, mushrooms, an onion, a bell pepper, apples, sausage, bacon and herbs. I don't love it--I've fused several Joy of Cooking recipes here, and I don't quite think it works. Something to bear in mind for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's *fine* I suppose, and Katy likes it, but there's a bitter edge. Perhaps I'd left the bread too long. Perhaps I should have started cooking the bell pepper first so it was sufficiently tender. Def. should have used celery rather than skipping it--aromatics SHOULD NOT BE SKIPPED even if dull and prone to creating Great Wastage as we inevitably never use the rest of the celery. It was moist enough without the optional egg, but next time may well add it anyway.
