Food and my Mothers Day mug lol

I used to love complicated food dishes but now although curry is my favourite dish I prefer now simple but yummy food.  I cannot stand for hours on end slaving over a hot stove and neither have I the time or inclination to do so.  Today I am cooking stuffed chicken thighs and chilli potatoes with a totally scrumptious salad.  The chilli potatoes are so easy to do and its a variation on the Spanish Patatas Bravas (without the chopped tomatoes).

Previously boiled and cooled new potatoes with skins on
One finely cut onion or as I do I just chuck it in my mini blender
Chilli according to taste or chilli flakes or cayenne powder
Some mild sweet paprika if you have it
A few chives to make it look pretty
Chopped garlic
Olive oil

Literally just chop up the potatoes with their skins on add them and all the other ingredients to a frying pan and voila ... stir and wait.  Don't keep turning all the time but wait for a while then with a huge spatula turn it, this way they seem to go all caramelised and gooey and I can never resist eating them as they are cooking!

I was so chuffed at receiving this cute Mothers Day pressie today, son number two had pictures of both the dogs imprinted on a mug.  Im always called The Hobbit, because I am not very tall and the two dogs are called The Beast and The Rat lol.
