Hope you're all having a pleasant summer, whether you're sat in the sun enjoying an ice scream or cooling off in the shade. Here's a quick and simple summer recipe that's simply delicious:
Freshers Summer Salad
Ingredients:
- Packet of Pub Original Pork Scratchings/Crunch
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts- 1 large cos or romaine lettuce
For the dressing
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 anchovies from tin
- Medium block of parmesan or Grano Padano cheese (for grating)
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
Method:
1. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, season. Place pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken and fry for 4 mins. Turn the chicken over and cook for 4 minutes further.Check the chicken is cooked through by poking the tip of a sharp knife in the thickest part, there should be no sign of pink juices.
2. Bash the garlic with a flat knife and peel off the skin. Crush garlic with garlic crusher. Mash the anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl. Grate a handful of cheese and mix with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Season to taste. It should be the consistency of a yogurt - if it's thicker, stir in a few tsps of water to thin it.
3. Shave the cheese with a peeler. Tear the lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Pull chicken into bite-size strips and scatter half over the leaves, along with (and this is the good bit) half a packet of Pork Scratchings or Crunch. Add most of the dressing and toss with fingers. Scatter the remainder chicken and scratchings/crunch, then drizzle with remaining dressing. Sprinkle parmesan and serve straight away.
Bon apetit!
