Chicken with new potatoes and sherry vinegar
The recipe in the book is for rabbit with new potatoes and Nigel says 'I daresay you could use chicken' - I did not need telling twice. As I only cook meat for one these days, the fussy daughter having gone to the fussiest side of food fussiness and gone vegan, and obviously I still have the problem of the chips and cheese eating vegetarian boyf, a rabbit seems a bit of a waste, extremely time consuming in terms of bones and I'm not overly enamoured by the flavour either - it's just alright. As I get older, and I'm not sure if there is an actual proper reason for this, I like chicken more and more and choose to cook with it more frequently than not. As with many recipes in this book, those that appear the simplest and least interesting can take you completely by surprise and wow you with every mouthful. This is the case here. I am a vinegar lover anyway but the sauce made with the oil, the juices and the sherry vinegar was amazing and the crunch of the cucumber with the chicken meat just worked. I will most definitely be making this again.
