There is a theme running through the 15 minute meals and that is one of fresh flavours. The Golden Chicken dish that we cooked was good with the two elements of chicken and potato gratin but the braised greens really took it to a new level.
The chicken was easy as it is just bashing chicken thighs and rosemary together before you cook them on a hot pan with a little bacon added. The Gratin was a little sneaky as I had to finely slice the potato and onion before boiling the potato for around 15 to 20 minutes before taking them out. The onions were browned with a bit of chicken stock and sage added just before they were taken off the heat. Once this is all done add together and pour over cream and parmesan cheese and then brown under a grill. Two dishes down and one to go. The braised green took no time at all as the chopped leeks, baby spinach and peas are just allowed to warm in the pan and them served under the chicken. So far this has been the easiest of the dishes with the boiling time for the potatoes being the only thing that pushed the stop watch. Just delicious!

Tyrrell's Johnno's Semillon 2012
This is a little lower in alcohol than last year but it doesn't show on the intensity of the flavours. The floral bouquet is enhanced by the combination of lemon rind, river pebbles and pink grapefruit before a little spice kicks in. The palate is highly structures with a laser beam of acid controlling the movement of flavour all the way. This acidity of the wine matches well with the cream nature of the potato and the flavour kick of the bacon. It is a vibrant wine that pairs well with a fresh dish.
