[QUOTE="forge, post: 598584, member: 118650"] Hello HG Welcome to the most exciting part of your life (food-wise) Put aside your druthers (druther have this than that) and treat it all as a NEW food adventure. You get to adapt your old recipes and search the net for new recipes and now you can eat more cakes and sweet stuff and go mental with the exotics like ginger and curries and spices. Breakfast is cereal and toast GGOOOOOOONE No grain products so it can be soup and flat nut bread or an omelette with mixed berry chutney or bacon and eggs, diet Jelly and banana with egg custard or last nights left overs or beans, baked beans are good with onion and curry powder. Morning tea is BBAAAACK Cup cakes filled with sweetened apple and topped with sweetened cream cheese "icing" Lunch can be a tinned fish salad with something extra to take the place of carbs like asparagus or 4 bean mix and just a bit of lo carb dressing. Afternoon tea can be microwaved chocolate cake (like a mud cake/sponge. withsweetened fresh cream. Dinner main course [B][U]COQ AU VIN[/U][/B] [U]Ingredients[/U] 4 Chicken leg potions Salt and pepper 2 Tbsp plain flour 2 Tbsp sunflower oil 25g/1oz butter 100g/4oz smoked streaky bacon 450g/1lb button onions or shallots 600ml/1pt red wine 1 chicken stock cube 2 Tbsp tomato puree 1 garlic clove (been using lazy garlic – already crushed) 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried 225g/8oz mushrooms [U]Step 1 [/U] [LIST] [*]Toss chicken legs in seasoned flour until evenly coated [*]Heat oil then butter in large casserole dish / saucepan [*]Add chicken and fry for 10 minutes or until brown all over [*]Remove from pan and set to one side [/LIST] [U]Step 2[/U] [LIST] [*]Cut bacon into small dices and peel onions [*]Add both bacon and onions to the pan and fry for 5 minutes, stir occasionally [/LIST] [U]Step 3[/U] [LIST] [*]Pour in wine and allow to bubble for a minute or two [*]Stir in crumbled stock cube and tomato puree [*]Crush garlic and add to pan with the thyme [*]Bring to the boil, then return chicken to the pan [*]Lower the heat, cover with lid and simmer for 30 minutes [/LIST] [U]Step 4[/U] [LIST] [*]Halve mushrooms and add to the pan [*]Simmer for further 30 minutes [*]DONE [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
