215. Herb Rice

This was ok. However I would cut the soy sauce in half.

*2 cups water
*1 TBSP butter
*1 chicken bouillon cube
*1 cup long grain rice
*2 TBSP soy sauce
*1 tsp dried minced onoin
*1/2 tsp onion powder
*1/4 tsp basil
*1/4 tsp marjoram
*1/4 tsp thyme

In a large sauce pan, combine the water, butter and bouillon
Bring to a boil
Add remaining ingredients
Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed


216. Chicken and Sweet Potato  hand pie

So I thought that this would be a hit with kids. I would be wrong. Neither of them cared for it. Dave and I really liked it but they did not.

*roasted sweet potatoes. (so I cheated and popped it in the microwave. I only needed one large one for the four of us)
*1/2 cu heavy cream
*1/4 tsp ground coriander
*1/4 tsp cumin
*coarse salt and pepper
*1 sheet frozen putt pastry, thawed
*2 cups cooked chicken diced
*1 large egg, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 400
mash the sweet potato in a medium bowl
Add cream, coriander and cumin, stir to combine
Season with salt and pepper
Spread out the puff pastry and cut into 4 squares
Place sweet potato mixture and chicken  on each square
Brush edges with egg
Fold top half of square to make triangle, then crimp the edges with a fork
Cut vents in the top  and brush with remaining egg
Cook on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes, rotating half way through.
