Chicken With Dark Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients:

300 g chicken tights boneless and skinless, cut into medallion pieces

100 ml chicken bouillon

70 g dark chocolate

2 tbsp raisins, chopped 

2 teaspoon butter

1 tbsp almond flakes

1 tbsp agave syrup

pinch of dried sage

pinch of chili powder

pinch of nutmeg powder

pinch of cinnamon

salt&pepper

*

This recipe must be the weirdest she tried so far but also the most exciting and daring. Dark chocolate in salty meals is quite common in South American cuisine, especially Mexican and she wanted to give it a try.

Roast the chicken cut into medallion on a pinch of butter, seasoned with salt, pepper and sage. Once roasted from both sides, place in pre-heated oven to finish off. Use the sauce pan on which you roasted the chicken, throw in the chopped raisins and almonds, roast with another pinch of butter. Pour over the chicken bouillon and add the chocolate cut into smaller pieces. Stir until it melts and keep stirring so that the chocolate sauce doesn't become too thick. Add agave syrup and season with chili, nutmeg and cinnamon. Serve with rice or potatoes.

Pour over the chicken bouillon, tablespoon of tomato pure, mix together and boil until carrots are soft.

Caribbean Style Chicken

Ingredients:

Pack of chicken drumstick 4-6 pieces or half a chicken, boned

1 cup of pumpkin, peeled and cut into cubes

1/2 sweet potato, peeled and cut into cubes

1/2 red pepper, sliced

1 tomato, cut into cubes

1/2 cup water

2 teaspoons butter

1/2 teaspoon Roman cumin

1/2 teaspoon muscat nut powder

salt&pepper

*

Let's start the New Year with a bit exotic meal, easy, tasty but a little bit more time consuming. She was inspired by meals that her boyfriend was cooking and she wanted to try her own intake. She baked the drum sticks separately in the oven, only season by salt and pepper, but they can be also added to the stew and cooked slowly with the stew. Place a bigger saucepan on the cooker and heat it up. Melt the butter and add vegetables cut in cubes, water, season with salt, pepper, cumin and muscat nut powder, cover with a lid and let stew on lower heat for about half an hour to 40 minutes until soft. Serve with rice or potatoes.

Pumpkin Pancakes With Raisins

Ingredients:

1/2 half of small pumpkin, peeled and diced

1 cup of flower

1 egg

1/2 cup of milk

2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp raisins

1 teaspoon cinnamon

butter or oil

pinch of salt

*

This was an amazing morning treat from the boyfriend. Try to make pancakes in Caribbean style, they are delicious! Cook the pumpkin until really soft and mash them so they create pure. Add the flower, egg, milk, sugar, raisins, cinnamon and pinch of salt and create a slightly liquid mixture. Smear a tiny bit of butter or oil on a frying pan and fry pancakes one by one until they have golden color. The pancakes themselves are already quite sweet so the best is to serve them with some fresh fruit or creme fraiche, as you like it.
