Jamie Oliver's Roast Poussin


I think I've found another dinner party favourite....for those of you who know me well, when I find a good recipe, I tend to cook the same thing over and over again, just like Ainsley Harriot's Finger Lickin' Cajun Chicken which I cooked at almost every dinner party a few years back (for a different group of people each time) until I exhausted that recipe and got caught out repeating the dish for the same group of people. So now I've come across J.Oliver's Roast Poussin recipe that's quite impressive, you wrap the poussin with streaky bacon and stuff it with fresh herbs and baby potatoes. I like poussin because it's a good size and you can serve one bird per person. Another nice canape that I've picked up over here is Filet Americain served on freshly sliced cucumbers. It's amazing how much raw beef (ready-to-eat) is sold in the supermarket delis in the Netherlands...carpaccio, steak tartare, filet americain...great for carnivores like Ces and myself.
