We were celebrating our 11 months together by how else, than cooking together and enjoying a good movie. The atmosphere was quite romantic, I should say, and we ended up watching the Baz Luhrmann's version of Romeo and Juliet after dinner. What we cooked was chicken filled rolls with spicy chili-parsley soup, accompanied with some dark grapes and champagne. Felt truly like a celebration. And what would be a proper meal without proper dessert: Ben&Jerry's "Nordic Water Peace" ice-cream. We both tasted it the first time, and it was delicious.Mm... The cookie parts. All in all, the night was quite a success! And now to the point, which is of course the recipes of the evening.
Chicken rolls
500g frozen puff pastry
400g chicken
0,5 dl sweet chili sauce (or however you like it)
lime juice
Seasoning: garam masala, basil, pepper, salt
1 egg and sesame seeds on top
Cook the chicken on a frying pan until half done, and mix with the chili sauce, lime juice and seasoning.
Take the puff pastry and make it into thin sheets of around 5x10 cm, or how big you like them to be. Fill the sheets and roll them up. Lastly, cover them with egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top to make it look pretty. Bake in the oven for 15 min or until the surface is golden brown in 225C.
Chili-Parsley soup
1 chili (turned out to be quite spicy, if hot foods aren't to your liking, we recommend you to use just ½)
fresh parsley
lime juice
0,6 l chicken stock
Chop the chili and parsley to fine peaces and add them to warm chicken stock. If it turns out too hot because of the chili (as happened to us...) we suggest you to add some cream or milk to neutralize the burn.
