About this blog

  • Farm girl by birth, city girl by marriage… The only constant in my life has always been good, wholesome food, wine and company! Although I chose a variety of career paths in my life, I studied food and wine for six years before embarking on a detour that finally led me back to the kitchen, where I feel so at home! This blog exists to invite you into my kitchen, with all its fragrances, warmth and laughter! Please come inside…

Method
1.  Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2.  Wash the leeks and pat them dry.  Place them in the bottom of an ovendish and drizzle with oil.
3.  Mix the pesto and crumbled Feta cheese with the chopped chives.
4.  Cut the breasts horizontally lengthwise, taking care not to cut them all the way through.
5.  Place about 2 tablespoonfuls of the filling inside each breast and fold closed.
6.  Rub with oil and set aside until you have prepared them all.
7.  Sprinkle with Maldon salt.
8.  Wrap each breast tightly in a slice of proscuitto.
9.  Place on top of the leeks.
10. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and then brown the tops under the grill for about another 5 minutes.

I served these on a bed of mash and my own home grown organic spinach.

It was delicious!!
