I did promise when I started blogging that I wouldn’t do food and recipes, but my life has changed and I am about to cook a xmas dinner, again, here are my notes so I wont have to look them up next year; mostly timings!. …
Roasting
Peel and par-boil the spuds and parsnips
- Potatoes ( 45m after par-boiling them)
- Chicken (35 – 40m) + 10/5 for the gravy
- Carrots (30 – 40m, after par-boiling them)
- Parsnips (40m, after par boiling them
- Garlic (about 40m in tin foil)
- Pigs in Blankets (30m)
- Bacon (15 min each side)
- Onions (25/30m)
Boiling
- Sprouts (5 mins)
Bread Sauce
- Bread Sauce (20m + 5m for the Bread), this needs nutmeg, cloves and marscapone/cream!
Plan the roasting trays, I didn’t have enough. Maybe I need a another boiling pan?
Here’s some hints on gravy, I forgot to buy any this year!
