I expect that I have in
the past made mention of my son's fondness for chicken, his
preference eventually cause Pa to stage an open revolt “Before”
he said, he sprouted feathers!
I to had eaten chicken
far too often and so ,for a time chicken was struck from or culinary
role of honour............but not for long.
Apart from a liking for
chicken my son had and intense dislike of beef.lamb.pork or any kind
of fish,this presented me with a problem and gradually chicken
returned to the weekly menus and in order to please Pa it was often
necessary to prepare two different meals at dinner time. This was a
right royal pain in the parsons nose!
Happily these days my
son enjoys beef and lamb occasionally.lovres pork and will even eat
fish providing it has been squished in to a fish cake or blunged in
to a pasta sauce …..still it is progress.
Today I had promised my
son his favourite dish of Chicken Pomadori,a recipe of my own, not
daring to present this hated dish to Pa I made for us cold pasta
salad which we both love.
Cold cooked penne
4 oz strong cheddar
diced (use fresh mozzarella for a lighter dish)
2 oz walnuts chopped
12 cherry tomatoes
halved
2 red sweet apples
diced
juice of 1 lemon
4 tablespoons of green
pesto,home made is best
2 tablespoons of olive
oil
salt and fresh ground
black pepper
1 tablespoon of
mayonnaise or crème fraich
Place all the
ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well coated with the pesto
and crème fraich. Chill for an hour and serve.
This salad can be as
varied as the number of ingredients in your kitchen,can be made the
night before it is needed and makes a great picnic dish.
