Movie night: Flight

Theming dinner to movie night can be entertaining.  The things most consumed in Flight are booze and cocaine ....

But, we needed an actual dinner - so I made us airline meals ... smoked salmon cocktail;  roast chicken dinner, ice cream and cheese and crackers.




Spring onion
Red pepper
Smoked salmon
Mayonnaise
Paprika
Salad leaves

Chicken thighs
Chicken rub
Potatoes
Butter
Carrots
Green beans
Leeks
Mustard
Cream

(Ice cream out of a tub, cheese and crackers with butter)

1.  Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil and a little herbed rub.  Roast for about an hour.
2.  Prepare potatoes to make fondant potatoes by chopping into almost they same, almost cubes.  In a deep frying pan melt butter, add potatoes, and water to about half way up the potatoes.  Simmer gently for ages, basting frequently and turning now and again.
3.  Prep other veg.
4.  Mix chopped spring onion, finely diced red pepper and smoked salmon together, bind with a little mayonnaise and add a sprinkle of paprika.  Fridge until ready to plate up.
5.  Steam carrots and beans, fry/poach the leeks in a little olive oil and water, when soft stir in a teaspoon of mustard and a spoon of cream.
6.  Keep an eye on the potatoes, add more water when required.  After about 40 minutes the butter water mixture will have reduced down, now start browning the potato cubes ... keep basting but turn them over, about 3 minutes on each edge.
7.  Line started "dishes" with salad leaves, blob in the salmon cocktail.
8.  Put ice cream in ramekins, cover in foil, and pop in their well.
9.  Add cheese and biscuits.
10.  Plate up chicken and potatoes, with a spoon of meat juice in one well, and veg in the other.
11.  Serve, watch people fall about laughing,  scoff.
