Passion in Cooking

Cooking is always my passion and I love cooking with lots of herbs and spices - basil, parsley, rosemary...

Last weekend, I cooked grilled chicken and here are the ingredients;

• 4 chicken legs, jointed
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (I use McD pepper, I always kept some when i dine there :p)
  
• A big bunch of fresh basil, leaves picked, stalks finely chopped
• 2 big handfuls of red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved, and ripe plum tomatoes, quartered
• 1 Lemon
  
• 1 whole bulb of garlic, broken up into cloves
• 1 fresh red chili finely chopped
• Olive oil - I use Tesco Basil Infused Olive Oil
  
• Optional: 1 14 ounce can of canellini beans, drained
• Optional: 2 handfuls of new potatoes, scrubbed
• Optional: linguini or spaghetti

Here is the result, looks nice huh? yes, it is as nice as it looks. I marinated the chicken with dried herbs, combination of oregano, basil, parsley, salt, etc.

the picture taken during cooking, not yet put basil leaves

Few seconds before serving, put basil leaves (not to overcook the leaves). I forgot to take the picture of serving, I guess it was too tempting and I couldn't resist to lay my hand on the chicken thigh and taste it, yummy.

More to come in the coming weekend, soon....
