Chocolate Bullets

This recipe for an oh-so-decadently-delicious Irish-Greek-chocolate-and-cream drink was part of an article on ouzo in the October 2005 issue of cooking magazine ‘Australian Good Taste’. The article was called ‘Greece Lightning’ and begins: “A potent Greek spirit that has the ability to turn cloudy, ouzo can have the same effect on you – so take care not to overindulge in our delicious drinks, dessert or dressing.” A cocktail? Well the ingredients suggest that but the photograph showed Chocolate Bullets served in two tall smoothie-style glasses. This is clearly not a drink for the faint-hearted! I’ve listed this as serving 2, but I think it could also be served in 4 cocktail glasses. The original recipe specified “chocolate topping” as the fourth ingredient; ever with a mind of its own, Zaar converted this to “chocolate fudge topping”, which would I imagine be sweeter. BTW, if you’re using metric measurements, 1 cup = 250 ml. From the same magazine, I have also posted Recipe #139444 and Recipe #139460.

Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos

Idea I came up with for something quick and healthy that can be mostly prepared in advance. I used a large cooked chicken breast cut-up but would also be a good use for leftover roast chicken. Makes 4 large tacos so I think would be a complete meal for two or a light snack / lunch for four, if using the smaller shells you’ll probably be able to fill six of them. I listed a gherkin because that’s what I used but you could also use a small handful of diced cucumber. Because it’s served slightly chilled I think this would make a nice and quick summer meal at the end of a hot day. You could also use a low-fat Greek yoghurt and/or omit the feta. There is not a lot of sweetness in the recipe so I couldn’t really say it was a kid pleaser, more of a slightly sharp taste from the salty and sour ingredients.
