so..now you might wanna know what i cooked...i did a noodle salad with chicken, peaches, cellery and a curry-joghurt dressing as well as roast potatoes with tomatos, garlic, red onions,feta and rucola/ rocket salad..i know it dont looks good on the pics but its really tasty ..especially on a foogy and rather cold/wet day were you wanna stay in and eat something hearty...
maybe you havent cooked yet because you are one of my readers and blog land friends from far away and live in another time zone..so if you are up for something like that here comes the recipe
noodle salad with cellery and chicken
you need:
choose a type of pasta you like (i prever conchiglie for this salad but you can also do it with rigattoni for example)...
salt
2 spoons of oliveoil
150 gramms of chicken breast
black pepper
150gramms of cellery
2 peaches..i always take 3 or 4 but thats because i love peaches a lot
180 gramms of very creamy plain joghurt
4 teaspoons of curry powder
sugar
30 gramms of roasted sesame
so..boil the pasta in salt water..please..al dente!! dont cook the pasta until its fucking dead like most people do it in germany which actually makes me cry on the kitchenfloor...so cook it and when its done and you decant it save 5 spoon full of the cooking water
now cut the chicken breast in little pieces and heat the olive oil in a pan...roast the chicken well and put pepper and salt on it..i like to add some pepper de paris over it which gives the a very nice taste...put the chicken to the side and let it cool down a bit
now cut the cellery into small pieces as well as the peaches..skin them off ( which is a work which i really dont like but the taste is totally worth it) and cut them into small pieces...mix them in a bowl with the chicken breast pieces and the pasta
now mix the joghurt with salt, pepper, sugar after your gusto and the cooking water you saved aside...whisk it very well..add the sesame and put it all over the chicken sellery peach mix...stir it very well and let it lie still for about 10 minutes
now the roastet potatos
you need
as much allready cooked potatos as you want to
1-2 garlic clove
2-3 red onions..i love these onions because of their mild, almost sweet taste
4 tomatos
some rucola/rocket salat
4 eating spoons of olive oil
salt
pepper
150 gramms of feta
first cut the potatos in pieces..the peel the garlic as well as the onions and cut them into small pieces too..now take the tomatos..cut out the green part of them because its not so healthy to eat it..then cut out the watery/seexy inside and cut the tomatos by now into small pieces too, now wash the rocked salad, clean it, and dry it
heat the oil up in a pan and roast the tomatos for about 5-7 minutes ..put them in a bowl and put the pan back on the oven...add some more olive oil and
roast now the garlic and the onions (you can add some bacon too)spice the potatos meanwhile with salt and pepper and add then the garlic and the onions to the potatos in the bowl..add now the tomatos as well as the rocket salads..stir it all very well and crumble the feta all over it...serve the whole thing aside the salad with a glas of red wine or a cold bear...arg*..beer?..i menat beer yes!
so..thats that..i hope you like the whole thing...if my wonderful friends jo or neve had joined me for dinner i had replaced the chicken by champignons or spicy tofu..as well as i had left out the bacon (even so i always use turkey bacon since i dont eat pork)...if you try the recipes just tell me how you liked them..

Children and (even minor) surgery is too awful to contemplate.
That food looked great and I would surely eat it.
Oh. Yum. I need to make those things. I have SO much arugula in my garden. It's like a weed! And I crave it.
And is this MY island you are fantasizing about? Hmmmm.

@ petit fleur
hey hey..:-) thank you..well i try my best to be a good dad for mini-s...his mom is actually sick in the moment as well as in complicated situation so she couldnt be there unfortunatelly
i m glad you like the food...i didnt blogged much about food recently though i love to cook...the foody stuff needs to come back!
I am intrigued by the recipes, especially adding peaches to the chicken. Do you know why? This is VERY old-fashioned deep south cooking!
One night I was caught in a snowstorm in D.C. and had to work the next night. So I stayed with my lovely artist friends, Vanny and Ellis (I work about them in A Moveable Tea). I woke up and they had a huge dinner waiting in their formal dining room, the nice china, the silver out. It was chicken jubilee -- with a cherry sauce. So unexpected, tart and sweet at the same time, delicious.
The chicken-peaches-yogurt reminds me of that, and them. I am going to try that and the potatoes.
I think you are southern in your soul.
Sounds like quite a day indeed, and you had a fine feast!
Hope mini is feeling better. Dental procedures just take it out of a person, that's for sure.
i know..:-) i m grown up with creole and brazilian food which is very similar to the kitchen of the south...a i wish i could come back to nola for a while:-))))
and again you tell a lil story in your coment..you so are a storyteller..love it:-)
@ craig
yes he is..the little man is almost undestroyable..in the evening he was already up in the bad and startet to paint and draw again..now he runs around and shows everyone the wholes in his mouth..:-)
