I skipped the fennel seeds (I couldn't find them in the shops) and I didn't get the skin-on chops so there was no crackling. So basically it was chops and potatoes, but doing the potatoes in the microwave gave them this really interesting stodgy but firm texture which we both really liked. It's fun not skrimping on butter either. I felt very En Francaise.
Jamie really goes for combining flavours and sometimes this can be a bit much, but this was just right. Maybe because I missed the fennel. The lemon in the potatoes on their own was a bit 'hmmm' but with the chops it was 'oo'.
I also loved the Fiery Noodle Salad which is from the Chicken Skewers with Amazing Satay Sauce recipe.
The chicken and satay sauce was nice enough, but the flavours in the noodle salad were AMUUZING. And so easy. Although you serve it cold with the warm chicken which wierded my husband out. He ate it like it was alive, shooting me occasional, tentative looks and saying 'it's supposed to be cold, right?'.
Also got a good tip on how to thread the chicken onto the skewers. Showing here.
