Went for the walk but started cooking dinner - yummy take on nigella recipe as forgot to get some of ingredients. Ended up "having" to take one for the team and drink a glass of white wine! It's tough being a role model. Husband drank other!

Scandis chicken casserole:
Ingredients:
1 large shallow pan with lid
One bottle of white - minus 2 glasses of white
3 rashers of bacon chopped into bits
Garlic butter
1 onion diced
Mushrooms sliced
Chicken breasts cut in half - think I used 5
Garlic butter
Double cream - probably 300ml
Dill
Salt
pepper
Plain flour
Fry bacon in garlic butter. After a bit add onions and mushrooms. Then add the chicken breasts. Brown for a bit. Add everything else. If sauce is thinner than you like, sprinkle over some plain flour ( I used 2dsp) and stir in. Leave to simmer for approx 35 mins. Your pan needs a lid!
Serve with broccoli or whatever you've got in! Enjoy!

Minus 1 or 2 small or large glasses! Need to know how much this recipe leaves over for the chef

You need to use about 2/3 or 3/4 of the bottle. You can use less wine and more cream. Just experiment. If it's a large glass which you are drinking, you might be a bit too tipsy to mind - lol!

These are the only crackers I have ever made courtesy of the lovely Ewelina, I'm sure she won't mind me posting them for you!

Almond Crackers
Ingredients (make 24 crackers):
150g ground almond
1 egg
1 tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. salt

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Combine ground almond with salt
3. In a little bowl combine egg with olive oil
4. Add egg mixture to almond mixture and combine together.
5. Add some herbs or spices if you like. I added a bit of grated cheese but they taste great plain as well.
6. Roll the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper. Remove the top sheet and cut out the shapes you like. It can be squares or circles (I used shot glass to make mine). Squares are easier to make as you don’t have left over dough and don’t need to repeat the process of cutting.
7. Bake on baking paper for about 10-12 minutes.
8. Let the crackers cool down and serve with cheese or just plain.

Enjoy J

It's Scandi-lous (sorry!) that it's taken me so long to find this thread, I made the crackers last night and they're all gone, absolutely delicious! I'm going to make some more today and eat with some homemade tomato and chilli sauce, the recipe for which is below :) (Hope it's ok to post it)

Ingredients
6 x tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 x tbsp tomato purée
2 x medium onions, chopped
6 x chilli's, chopped (but not seeded)
1 x clove garlic, crushed
2 x tbsp white wine vinegar
1 x tbsp sweetener (I used Splenda)
Pinch of salt

Method
Put all of the ingredients in a saucepan and cook/simmer on a low heat for 15-20 minutes, allow it to cool and put into a food blender and blitz until it's smooth. Return to the pan and simmer until it has reached the required consistency.

Delicious with steak, chicken, salad and meaty fish (i.e. Tuna)

Thank you for the crackers recipe they sound wonderful. Can you just clarify that there are 9.6 grams of carbs. I assume that is the whole mixture and not per cracker.
