Day 280: express delicious

It’s ALWAYS a joy to pick up, read and cook from Express. In fact, it’s a loyal, bible-like companion in my life at the moment! Not only is it full of near-instant deliciousness, but we also hear the clear voice, warmth and wit of Nigella resonate across every page. Making this not just a recipe book; it’s an entertainment and comfort too. It’s a sanctuary abrim with everyday family meal ideas that are both delicious and quick to make; a promise I get great pleasure in hearing and knowing I have instant access to at just an arm’s reach from my cooker. (And, with Nigella, we know that promise is truth.)

Nigella’s Chicken Schnitzel with Bacon and White Wine

I went for the herbal hit of dry white vermouth (mainly because I didn’t have any white wine, but I do so love vermouth’s speedy richness offering in cooking) and served it with buttery, dill-y potatoes and a yellow courgette and tenderstem salad on the side (made in a very similar way to Nigella’s Double Courgette and Bean Salad from Summer).

The recipe for Nigella’s Chicken Schnitzel with Bacon and White Wine can be found in Express and on nigella.com (link below).
