Cooking Tonight #5

[greenishfing]

I didn't get any fresh fish, so I'm going back to my original idea of roast chicken.

I was going to spatchcock it, coat it in a marinade of yoghurt and spices, and have it with corn on the cob, couscous, and roast veg. Due to the wintry blast here at the minute, I've decided to go down a more traditional route. I'll stuff it with lemon and onion and roast it with oil, lemon, and tarragon. We'll have it with potato dauphinois, cauliflower cheese, carrots, french beans, and gravy.

I'm going to make a raspberry and chocolate trifle now. I don't like jelly in trifle, so no problem with it setting. The raspberries can go in frozen, which will cool the custard rapidly. I'm just deciding what kind of booze to add to it.

Well, we had wild asparagus risotto for lunch. Feels a bit early, but I managed to pick a fair-sized bunch. A bit woody, as usual, but the tips were very nice. So supper tonight is leftover tortilla and salad.

Was thinking of doing some baking this afternoon, but a bit of eyelid inspection seems more on the cards.
