First Day, Jamie Oliver and Netball

The first challenge, pre-season netball training in the morning and netball games in the evening. A bundle of homework. I made Chicken and Leek Stroganoff from Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food.

Jamie Oliver’s Chicken and Leek Stroganoff

Serves 2
Ingredients
Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper
150g long-grain or Basmati Rice
1 Large Leek
Big handful of Chestnut or Oyster Mushrooms
2 Chicken Breasts
Olive Oil
a knob of butter
A glass of white wine
A bunch of fresh parsley
285ml single cream
1 Lemon
Method
Cook the rice according to the packet instructions in salted boiling water.  Drain the rice.
Cut both ends off the leek, quarter lengthways and then slice across thinly, then wash well under running water.  Slice the mushrooms.  Slice the chicken breasts into finger size pieces.
Put a large frying pan on a high heat and add a good lug of olive oil and the knob of butter.  Add the leek to the pan with the white wine and a small glass of water a bit to runny if you add the extra water, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.  Let it bubble away for 5 minutes loosely covered with a piece of foil .  Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley, stalks and all.  Remove the foil and add the chicken strips, most of the parsley, the cream and the mushrooms.  Stir, and bring back to the boil then turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes.
Just before serving, cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of one half into the stroganoff.  Season to taste.  Spoon rice onto each plate, and top with the stroganoff.  Scatter with the remainder of the chopped parsley.




So my challenge is to make all of the recipies from Jamie's Ministry of Food and Matt Moran's When I get Home. As well as coping with school, netball (school, club and REP) and basketball.

So I hope you enjoy my sharing this!!
