'tis the season...for chicken salad

Johannisbeeren (currants) are available in Migros - and with them you can make a delicious chicken salad.
Getting a really good roll also makes a difference - I have found that the ones at Coop on Silbernstrasse in Dietikon are very good (see picture)

What you need:

Bread/rolls
Chicken (rotisserie chicken - pre-made or bought is good)
mayonnaise
1 red onion
1/2 -1 green apple
2-3 stalks of celery
1/2 cup of johannisbeeren
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Dice the onion, apple and celery.
Pull the stems off of the johannisbeeren and wash them.
Shred the chicken
Put all in a bowl and mix. Add the almonds (if desired) and then add enough mayonnaise to make everything stick together.

Put on a roll and enjoy with a side salad or chips.  Nussli-salat and a tomato on top of the chicken mixture is also good

Baked Churros from Oma

So Oma and Opa were visiting the past few weeks and Oma brought a bunch of really yummy recipes with her.  This one was very simple to need - you just need 4 ingredients - and the most time is spent cooking the dough.  It was a fantastic dessert and I think it might make its way into my Christmas cookie plates as well.  Thanks Oma!

What you need:

1 package Blatterteig (puff pastry)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 cup Sugar

50g melted Butter





Unroll the dough and cut it in half lengthwise then cut crosswise into 1 inch strips

Keep it on the parchment paper and follow the baking directions on the package (mine cooked for about 15 minutes)

While the dough is cooking, melt your butter in a pan over low heat and mix your sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl long enough for the pastry to fit in.  Dip the pastry stick in the butter and flip it over to coat.

Put in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and roll to coat.  Put on a plate and enjoy!
