I am writing this as I am watching Germany vs Portugal playing football in the Euro 2012 so please forgive me if I don’t make sense!
What I wanted to say is that I looove Brockley Market and if I move somewhere else, I might not have any market so close… That would be bad… Almost every Saturday we trot there to get some fresh local produce so we could have a lovely Saturday and Sunday meal. Look what Charlie’s got us today:
What else if not a lovely fresh salad you would make from all that goodness. And so did we. Simple, tasty and healthy!
Warm Salad With Chicken and Mushrooms
100 g chicken
2 handfuls iceberg lettuce
2 fresh tomatoes
a handful of mushrooms
less than half a cucumber
a handful of spring onions
a handful of dill
a dash of olive oil
1tsp honey (with cinnamon)
a drizzle of truffle oil (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Dice and brown the chicken together with mushrooms for a few minutes with a dash of truffle oil and honey. Our honey happened to be with cinnamon so you can just add some of this spice or leave it out. The truffle oil was a present from a friend, so we thought we gonna give it a try. I like big chunks of iceberg lettuce in my salad so I just tear the leaves. Chop the ripe tomatoes.
Slice and add the juicy cumber.
Add some dill…
…and some spring onions.
Drizzle some oil over the salad, add the cooked mushrooms and chicken, grab a fork and enjoy!
We also scattered some cheese on top… but you don’t have to!
Thank you Brockey Market!

… and here comes the guilty pleasure… a home-made sweet and sticky apple crumble served with whipped double cream flavoured with strawberry jam… it can’t get any better!











This looks so healthful I feel guilty for having ice cream today!
Oh no don’t feel guilty, it was one sunny day today in 3 months!
Plus after that healthy salad I had a full plate of that sticky apple crumble
The sticky apple crumble did look good! I shall be adding your post today to my shopping list next week
it’s a great dessert for rainy days to come
Awesome Kirstina
DarkJade-
Thank you
Is that salad stuff from Brockley market organic? Where did you buy the honey flavoured with cinnamon.
Hi Arlene, no not all stuff organic, but it’s produced by local people. The cucumber was bought at the organic stall
I didn’t buy the honey, my friend gave it to me, she worked for a French company who supplies big food chains with best quality stuff. you can have a look here http://www.masdesabeilles.com
It looks like a perfect dinner to me
I love fresh food markets and yes, I agree that tomatoes should actually have a smell
It was so fresh
The shop tomatoes usually are raw and smell of plastic
Charlie has planted some tomatoes in our garden, fingers crossed they grow fast
looks delicious!!
Thank you, it was lovely
We do something like this for dinner quite often in the summer…it’s so refreshing! And you can put anything in a salad!
Exactly, that’s why I love salad
