Chicken in White Wine and Lemon

Image
Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts lemon zest from ¼ lemon 3 carrots 1 handful green beans 2-3 onions 1 little squash 3 Dl white wine 2 Dl  chicken broth Rinse / peel the vegetables and cut in small pieces. Cut the chicken breasts in pieces too and  fry light brown in a frying pan. Sprinkle the chicken with lemon zest. I have pickled some lemons with salt and it is the zest from ¼ lemon I have used. Remove as much of the white underside from the zest and cut it in small strips and sprinkle it on the chicken breasts. I cut the white underside from the zest, because my lemons were freshly made. When they are a couple of months old it is no longer necessary. Then the bitter taste will be gone. Put the chicken in the slow cooker and fry the vegetables a couple of minutes before you put them in the cooker as well. Pour 3 Dl white wine and 2 Dl chicken broth in the frying pan and let cook before pouring it in the slow cooker.  Put the cooker on LOW...

Slow Cooker - Rice Pudding

Image
I tried to make rice pudding in my slow cooker, and that was very easy. Ingredients for the pudding: 1 l skimmed milk 1½ dl pudding rice. 1/4 tsk coarse salt butter I greased the ceramic bowl with butter and then just poured in the milk and rice .Put the cooker on MEDIUM for 4 hours and then HIGH in almost 1 hour.  Seasoned with a little salt and ready to serve with  a knob of butter and cinnamon-sugar I tried this recipe after  having read  about bacillus cereus in a danish magazine called Samvirke . Imagine you can be more than 70 and not heard of it before. Especially because it according to the article is something you should be aware of. I used to cook a big portion of rice pudding the day before Christmas and then make rice a la mande, which would normally last for three days,and  always stored cold, but I don't dare do that any more, even though we have survived numerous years. We also survived eating rice salad 2-3 days in a row, but n...

Slow Cooker - Crock Pot

Image
Slow Cooker - Crock Pot   I recently bought a slow cooker. I hope it will  be more useful than many other kitchen devices bought throughout the years. They tend to be used a lot in the beginning and then left to gather dust in the far end of a cupboard occupying space, but for only 199 kr (that's about 14 £ ) it is worth a try.🍲. First attempt: Lobscouse. In danish Skipperlabskovs 400-500 g beef cut in squares 2 onions 750 g potatoes 3½ dl stock ( 1 vegetable bouillon cube + 3½ dl boiling water) 1-2 bay leaves 1 tsp black pebercorns 1 tsp coarse salt Chop and saute the onions  and  put them in the crock pot, and then put in the diced potatoes. Fry the meat in a skillet and put that in the crock pot as well together with the stock and spices. Put the lid on and set on  MEDIUM  for 7½-8 hours The result was very delicious, served with homemade rye bread and butter. danish
