If you read my last recipe, you will discover that I had a notion of being vegetarian or vegan. That feeling very quickly subsided when I took my first mouthful of this said recipe (Braised Chicken, Beans, Pancetta & Tomatoes, you should check it out on the home...
I recently had a bit of a weird notion that I could actually be a vegetarian or even vegan and that I could really make a go of this blogging thing, as that would be my point of difference (i’m not bad with the veggie recipes). Then I made this braised chicken...
