Rodeo

So Normanton Rodeo weekend is almost over. It has been a fantastic few days. We kicked off the celebrations with the street parade, our "Year of the Farmer" themed float won second prize for the school. 


Peanut scored first place at the dog show and a photo of Windy Hill at Ravenshoe took out first place at the photo competition. My Hummingbird Cupcakes scored second place in the cupcakes section. Probably out last Rodeo out this way so good to go out with a few prizes :)

Chicken, Bacon & Avo Filo

These filos are one of those 'special foods'. They take a while to make but they remind me of Rose and working at the shop. It was always so exciting to eat these together and the smell of them crisping up on the old sandwich press was to die for. Now I've managed to make my own that are *almost* perfection! 


What You Need
chicken breast fillets
bacon rashers
avocado
mushrooms
garlic
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup cream
15g butter
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
cheese
pastry sheets


What You Do
Cut up the chicken breast into little fillet strips, cook in a frypan and put to the side when done.
While cooking dice the bacon, slice the mushrooms and cook in fry pan. Add garlic and a little butter and fry together until cooked. 
In a small bowl mash the avo and set aside. 
In a mixing bowl combine the stock, cream, butter, yolk and lemon juice. Tip all of this over the bacon and mushrooms in the fry pan. Simmer until thickened.
When thickened pour bacon and mushroom mixture back into mixing bowl. Add in pieces of chicken and avo and cheese and combine.
Spoon mixture onto pastry sheets and fold sheets into little parcels. Cook in 180 oven as directed and serve with greek salad (olives, feta, cucumber, capsicum, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano leaves)
