sunny but chilly day

It's saturday and usally in Laguna we have a farmers market every Staturday. I was really happy when i woke up this morning and i was looking forward to one of my favorite breads that I buy at the german backery tent. When I started walking to the market i looked accross the street and it wasnt there :-( . So I went to Whole foods to get some frechly baked bread, I piked up some avocado, cucumber, sprouts, whipped cream cheese and whole wheet bread.
I made some good toast with cream cheese, avocado, cucumber, sea salt and pepper oh and one toast I put some good salami on.
It was fresh.

Cooking dinner with my friend 2 night

I'm going to cook dinner with good friend Melissa and this what I think we will cook herb infused chicken breast with wild rice, julienne zucchini, broccoli and goat cheese sauce on the side. And for dessert Banana tarts with vanilla ice cream.

What I need to get to make it happen;

2 chicken breast

2tbs chopped fresh, parsley, sage, oregano, thyme and rosemary

2tsp sweet paprika

S&P

½ cup/ 1dl wild rise

¼ of a chicken cub

Sauce;

½ dl / ¼ cup crème fraiche or sour cream

2tbs goat cheese

Veggies;

½ small zucchini juliennes

Broccoli

Dessert;

2 Bananas

½ tbs Brown sugar and 2tsp cinnamon

Rolled up pastry crust ready to bake

1 egg

How we will cook it;

Put the oven on 345F/ 175C

Boil the water for the rice and include the chicken cub, then add the rice and some salt.

Clean the chicken breast and rub herds and paprika on them take out casserole/ ugn fast from drizzle some olive oil in the bottom and put them in the oven. Chopped the zucchini in to julienne (thin sticks), boil some water add the broccoli and after 2min add the zucchini. If you want you can add some julienne carrots too. Turn the heat on low and heat up the cream fraiche add the goat cheese.

Dessert;

Put the oven on at the degree recommended on the box

Mix the sugar and cinnamon, if you want do as my friend Trish said add some rum.

Roll out the crust and make it a little bit thinner cut out an5 inch square. Now chop up the bananas in 1 inch pieces mixed them with the sugar mixture and place them in the middle of the pastry brush the edges with the whisked egg and fold the edges to on side so that is make’s a triangle. The brush some egg on the top put it on a bake pan and then in the oven. Serve this with vanilla ice cream or equal amounts whipped mascarpone and whipped cream add a little vanilla to the mixture.

I might do some small changes to the final result depending on what I find in Melisa’s cupboards and what she might want to add.

It is always fun to cook with your friends I used to do it quit often when I lived in Sweden. If you are English and read this you might notice that some words are different in the text. I have added some Swedish words and measurement as I know that some of my friends and family might not know what I’m talking about. Plus the measurements are sometimes different in Sweden.

I hope you have a great evening.
