Poussins, Quinoa stuffing and veg recipes

Hi hope you have a chance to look at my blog today. I am feeling a bit creative and a bit bored today which means that dinner has a few interesting dishes involved. I picked up a couple of poussins(something like a baby chicken, I think) the other week and decided to give them a good stuffing with some onions and lemon. I placed them in a roasting pan on top of some sliced onions and on top put a few pats of butter, black pepper, sea salt, tarragon and squeezed lemon. I tucked a few slices of lemon around the chicken legs for added flavour.
My Quinoa stuffing recipe is as follows:
Prepare quinoa according to instructions on box but add a bit of apple juice and some chopped prunes during the preparation.
In a separate frying pan add

2 cloves chopped garlic
1/2 chopped celery stalk
1/2 chopped red onion
1/2 chopped granny smith apple

fry this in a bit of olive oil with some black pepper. When the quinoa is finished cooking add the sauteed mixture to the quinoa along with some freshly chopped parsley. Mix well and heat through.

For the carrots
1 carrot chopped at an angle(don't know about you but I love how it looks)
1/4 cup brown sugar
two tablepoons of butter

boil the carrots as usual and drain. Add the brown sugar and butter and coat the carrots. Voila you are finished!

Next for the green bean casserole
Handful of beans, just enough for two people
1 small can of cream of mushroom soup
tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 pack dried onions
black pepper

Place the beans into a baking pan with the cream of mushroom sauce, half can of milk, small handfull of dried onions, soy sauce and pepper. Mix well and shove in the oven at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. When finished add a few dried onions to the top and stick back in the oven again for a few minutes until they have browned nicely.

Well that is about it for dinner. I usually make my own gravy with the help of Bisto and whatever is leftover in the roasting pan. Usually, lots of buttery celery and onion flavours. To all the Americans out there Bisto is simply a gravy mix. You should be able to use whatever gravy mix is available in your grocery store and then just add the roasting tin remains to it and heat through for a homemade taste.

All the best
