Easy Easter Entertaining

There are entertaining occasions when I go completely over the top, convincing myself that I should make everything from scratch and subsequently spending hours in the kitchen.

This is not really good news for me (risk of being a martyr while everyone else is having fun) or for my guests who don't get to see me.

So I decided that Easter Sunday dinner was going to be keep it simple.

We began with tapas. There were cold meats and thinly sliced machego cheese, warm bread with olives and anchovies and king prawns fried briefly in butter with chilli and chorizo.

These dishes took no longer than 15 minutes to put together from start to finish. Interesting the tapas that we enjoyed most was a spainish omlette tortilla with red pepper and pimento from unearthed https://www.foodsunearthed.com/product/omelettes/ 30 seconds to open the packet and 1 minute to reheat.

Continuing the Spainish theme we then had Chicken and Chorizo a one pan creation from Hairy Bikers. The recipe is here http://www.hairybikers.com/recipes/view/spanish-style-chicken-bake#eOieMPXcbcYlmQI8.97 and here is a picture while it was "undevelopment"

Minimum washing up with this dish too.

Then for dessert those clever little Gu puddings were on 2 for one offer so 1 minute to remove the lids and 1 more to wash and arrange the fruit. Oh and to open the cream.
