Game of Thrones: A Feast for Kings and Queens

I crackled dyed some hard boiled eggs and then devilled them by scooping out the yolks and mixing with double cream, finely chopped parsley, mustard, chilli powder and seasoning before piping back in. Top with a sprinkle of chilli powder.

These beans were really tasty. Boil one can of haricot beans until cooked. Fry off four rashers of chopped streaky bacon until just crisp before adding two minced garlic cloves. Cook this until the garlic goes golden and the bacon is nice and crispy. Add the beans and then stir through seasoning, cream and a little chicken stock. Finish with a little chopped parsley.

Simple honey roast chicken thighs. In a large freezer bag add 8 boneless chicken thighs and bash with a rolling pin until all roughly the same thickness. Add in four tablespoons of honey, a quartered lemon, two tablespoons of rapeseed oil and three cloves of sliced garlic and some salt and pepper. Give the bag a good squeeze and a shake and leave to marinate in your fridge for four hours. When you're ready to cook them, preheat your oven to 190o/c, tip out into a large baking tin and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear and the chicken is nicely coloured.

So what did you think of the finale? Further Game of Thrones food puns also accepted.

  1. I've never seen crackle dyed eggs. Neat idea. Could you share how you did that with the eggs? Looks delicious!

    1. Hi, thanks for your comment. The eggs are really easy - I hardboiled mine and then cooled them with ice and water for 30 minutes. Then gently tapped the eggs on a hard surface so they just about cracked and then submerged them in jam jars that were filled with water with a strong concentrate of food colouring. I found darker colours worked better. I then popped them in the fridge for 6hrs, longer if you want a darker effect, rinsed peeled them. I thought they looked suitably dragony!
