On Her Majesty's Secret Service Dinner

Here is our themed dinner for another James Bond movie, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.  It was actually a great dinner!  Who doesn't love a good fondue!

For dinner we had Portuguese Peri Peri Chicken, Swiss Alps Swiss Fondue with crackers, apples, and meat, Queen Bee Cocktail, and Irma Bunt's Bundt Cake. 









Portuguese Peri Peri Chicken

I had some Piri Piri Sauce from a Try The World sauce that we ate with these wings!  I found the recipe here.

Ingredients:

3 cloves of garlic
1 lemon 
1 orange
1/4 cup of olive oil
2 teaspoons of paprika
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
2lbs of chicken wings
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 Tablespoon of parsley  

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 390 degrees.
2. Place the garlic, lemon juice, orange juice, lemon zest, paprika, black pepper, chili flakes, oregano, and olive oil into a processor and mix. 
4. Pour marinade into a ziplock bag and add chicken.  Marinate overnight.
5. Sprinkle salt over the chicken and bake for 45 minutes.
6. Baste the chicken with the pan juices and sprinkle with parsley.  Serve with Piri Piri sauce. 


*TBH I totally mixed up the temperature because the original recipe had celsius temps and I didn't know (probably should've figured it out) the difference.  I tried to salvage by finish on the stove but it just didn't turn out that great.  I DO believe when followed appropriately, it is a good recipe!







Swiss Alps Swiss Fondue with crackers, apples, and meat

I used this fondue recipe here

Ingredients:

8oz of swiss cheese, shredded
8oz of gruyere cheese, shredded
2 Tablespoons of corn startch
1 clove of garlic, peeled
1 cup of dry white wine
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard
1 pinch of nutmeg

Directions:

1. Place cheese in a bowl and coat with corn starch.
2. Use garlic and rub on the inside of the fondue pot.
3. Place the pot over medium heat, add wine and lemon juice.  Bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in the cheese.
5. Add mustard and nutmeg. 








Queen Bee Royale Cocktail

I altered this recipe here.

Ingredients

1oz Honey Liqueur
5oz Champagne








Irma Bunt's Bundt Cake
I purchased a pre-made cake at the store!  But it was delicious!
