simplyrecipes I’ve recently been cooking my way through some of the older recipes on Simply Recipes and came across this gem—Moroccan spiced grilled chicken breasts. It’s a winner! Boneless skinless chicken breasts are marinated in yogurt mixed with a Moroccan spice mix of cumin, paprika, and cinnamon, and then simply grilled. The yogurt helps tenderize the breasts and the marinade brings life to otherwise boring boneless skinless chicken. What I love about this recipe is that with just the barest of preparation, you can have a delicious meal within minutes. Just put the chicken in the marinade before leaving for work in the morning, come home, heat the grill, chicken is done in less than 10 minutes. The recipe is one we adapted from a recipe in the Sacramento Bee years ago.

Canada Day Burger | Beef Recipes Getting a burger just right is about building up a whole collection of flavours and textures into an almighty friendship. The natural blend of fat and lean meat is perfect in these chuck steak burgers, so not only are they super-juicy, but they deliver big on the flavour front, too. Divide the minced chuck steak into 4 and, with wet hands, roll each piece into a ball, then press into flat patties roughly 2cm wider than your buns. Place on an oiled plate and place in the fridge to firm up. To make the slaw, add the yoghurt and both mustards to a large bowl and squeeze in the lemon juice. Remove the tatty outer leaves from the cabbages and peel the onion and carrot. Season the burgers with a small pinch of salt and pepper and the cumin seeds, then place onto the barbecue or griddle pan. Meanwhile, cook the bacon until sizzling and golden brown all over, then remove to kitchen paper to drain. Cut the burger buns in half and lightly toast them, cut-side down.
French dip sandwich recipe Step 1 Heat the oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Heat an ovenproof casserole. Step 2 Put in the pan and brown on all sides, until it has a really deep colour. Step 3 Take the beef from the gravy, trim away any fat or other straggly bits, cool to room temperature and chill for 2 hours (this will make it easier to slice, see note). Step 4 Warm the rolls in a low oven, then split and spread thinly with mustard. Cook's tip Cooking then chilling the beef is a trick that delis use, which makes it so much easier to slice the meat thinly. What wine to drink with boeuf bourguignon Our wine expert Victoria Moore suggests four affordable bottles of wine to drink with boeuf bourguignon. Plus: Victoria's easy boeuf bourguignon recipe. Long, slow-cooked beef casseroles are friendly dishes; not just to the cook who can make them in advance and then swish around the kitchen feeling tidy and in control but also to wines. At least, they are friendly to French wines. Boeuf bourguignon was – as the name suggests – originally made with red wine from Burgundy. Pinot noir, in other words – savoury and dry but also relatively light-bodied. Château de Pizay Morgon 2012 France, 13% (£8.99, Majestic) Morgon is always the most hefty of the named beaujolais cru but this is still a light red, supple and smooth and filled with bright red berries, ready for spring. Domaine de la Meynarde Plan de Dieu 2012 France, 14.5% (£8.49, M&S) This is a superb, dusty red blend from Southern Rhône. La Bastide Blanche Bandol 2011 France, 15% (£14.79, Waitrose) Not many people have heard of the Dao.

American Chef's Salad | Recipes | Delia Online Before you start, pre-heat the grill to its highest setting and let it heat up for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine all the dressing ingredients in a jug or bowl and whisk them together well, tasting to check the seasoning. Now place the bacon on some foil on the grill pan, and grill until it's very crispy – about 7 minutes – then remove it to drain on some kitchen paper and crumble it into small pieces. Next slice the garlic sausage, first into ¼ inch (5 mm) slices, then cut the slices into ¼ inch (5 mm) strips. To serve the salad, tear up the lettuce leaves and place them in a large bowl with the watercress and rocket. Add the remaining dressing and toss again so that everything gets a good coating.
