Lovely lower carb tea.

Tea tonight was absolutely delicious.  I wrapped a couple of chicken thighs in chorizo and then wrapped them in bacon and roasted them in the mini oven. I made a three veg mash using a celeriac fresh picked from my garden with a potato and chunk of swede. It was cooked then mashed with plenty of butter.  The cooking juices from the chicken thighs made a gorgeous sauce with a good splash of water, a quarter of a vegetable stock cube and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.  I thickened it with some double cream and then popped the cooked chicken into the pan and let it simmer gently for about five minutes. I served it with some steamed sprout shoots. If you've never eaten leaves and shoots from Brussels sprouts freshly picked from your garden then you are missing a treat. 

To use the mini oven economically I cooked five chicken thighs. We had one each sliced into a mini baguette for lunch.  The fifth one is sitting in the fridge in case we get an attack of the munchies later on.
