CHICKEN MARSALA - In first frying pan, Cut boneless chicken into chunks or strips, coat with flour and cook in butter until all sides just start to brown, set aside. In second frying pan, melt butter and add fresh sliced mushrooms (lots) and cook until they just start to soften, add generous amount of Marsala wine and a couple of finely diced garlic cloves and cook for three minutes. Add chicken from first pan and cook until sauce thickens (flour from chicken will thicken sauce), Add a small spritz more Marsala wine ( to refresh Marsala wine flavor) and serve immediately.
spagetti bolgonese. for 4 people you will need 500g mince, brown it then add an onion, then add 2 tins tomatos(chopped) and a half pint of any red wine, add 2 teaspoons of garlic granules as it will save time, add teaspoon mixed dried herbs, and 1 red chillie(chopped)then mix together and cook for about 40 mins on a low heat, or until mixture thickens. It sounds hard to make but is really easy and very delicious, i always good comments when i make it, also you could serve with garlic bread, your guests will be impressed as it one of my favourite recipes and so much tastier than a shop bought sauce, enjoy!!
