With 2 chicken breasts on my worktop and 1 hour before dinnertime, the culinary mind had to get moving to create an appetising and creative. I searched the fridge – homemade sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella ball, basil leaves and ….. I know a jar of mayonnaise.
Now, I have used mayonnaise as an alternative to oil or butter when grilling fish, and -when you think, it is egg and oil- have had good results. Great served with Bubble, Leek and Squeak Cakes.
