Omg I just made something, and it... tasted ok!

Well actually a little more than ok - it tasted good!

Unfortunately I didn't take pics as I thought it was going to be horrible (like most of my cooking!) but it actually looked the part too. Can you tell I'm chuffed?

Edit: here's a pic I took another day:



So what was it?

Have to called it Moroccan something as it was served with barley cous cous (that was recommended in another thread!) and... it was chicken based

Here's what I did.

• Fried some red onions in a little bit of coconut oil
• As they were getting done I diced a piece of chicken breast and added it.
• Then added some fresh peas (that M&S had on offer!).
• Then added some ground black pepper, salt and a tiny bit of turmeric. (Think my mum told me to use turmeric with chicken once, and I also read somewhere it is good for you so wanted to experiment with it)
• Then added some olives I've had in the fridge since last week
• Then crushed some garlic and added that for the last 5 mins or so.

So I did the cous cous and was about to put it on my plate and thought, well it looks juicy in that pan so put it in there and gave it a bit of a mix!

It sooooo didn't taste like my cooking - it tasted nice! AND it wasn't too 'flavoury/spicy' so perfect for me!

If anyone tries it please let me know what you think!

Well done, hon x

Aw, well done! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks guys - I wish I took pics of this one as I'm sure some of you would want to try it out then

From the ingredients it sounds really nice.

I made something similar for Carys for lunch but with tomato and quinoa - quinoa, chicken, chopped and whole baby plum tomatoes, tomato puree, peas, olives, garlic and a little paprika. I love doing stuff in one pot!

It'll be the chicken Azz - makes all the difference

Sounds lovely & you sound surprised that it is - I love Moroccan! There's a Moroccan Lamb recipe in Come Dine with me site that I keep meaning to try.

LS - that sounds yum!
Phil -
Tilly more I eat Moroccan the more I like it

I made it again today, and took a pic this time

Apart from the olives, it sounds delicious. Perhaps I should try that someday. It sounds easy to make too

Looks good, though

Actually that reminds me Jeanette - this time I chopped the olives up into small pieces and didn't put so many in... it worked a l o t better

Nice to see you btw! How you keeping?
