18th Birthday lunch
My eldest child is now formally an adult!!
Lunch on Sunday to celebrate (amidst her other celebrations) consisted of
Smoked Salmon
Feta stuffed olives
Chicken stuffed with wild mushrooms and bacon with marsala sauce
Chocolate party cake warmed and served with cream and/or ice cream
The chicken recipe is from Delia Online although said daughter has the recipe in a Delia cook book. She's tried it before but first time for me. Very proud that E happily tackled this recipe let alone got great results. (Served with mashed potatoes and butter steamed carrots and green beans)
The feta stuffed olives is one E was taught a couple of years back (by great friend) and she made them despite it being her birthday:
Take a jar/pot of green queen olives (pitted)
Mash feta cheese with basil and parsley and season
Stuff olives with feta mix (end of a teaspoon helps)
Dip stuffed olives in beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs
Fry until lightly golden on all sides
Serve immediately
Amount of feta needed? Well we did this by eye so you will have to wait until we repeat and weigh out properly. Any left over feta can be added to a salad or even on top of a lamb chop the next day.
Chocolate cake was adorned with indoor fireworks as well as 18 candles. ... and numerous mini eggs.
