Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon Rose

Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon Rose

This beautiful rose wine is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, fruit driven, refreshing with abundance of berry flavours and a pleasant long finish.

Method

  1. 1

    What to do:
    1. Cut 4 pieces of greaseproof paper or baking parchment, each measuring approximately 30 cm square.
    2. Put each chicken breast onto a separate square of greaseproof paper.
    3. Mix the vegetables together and place an equal amount on top of each piece of chicken. Sprinkle with
    five spice powder (if using), the ginger, soy sauce and black pepper.
    4. Fold up the paper to wrap up the chicken completely.
    5. Put the parcels into a steamer (see tip). Cover and steam for 35-40 minutes.
    6. Check that the chicken is properly cooked. Unwrap one parcel and insert a sharp knife into the thickest
    part. The juices should run clear with no traces of pink.
    7. Serve the chicken in the parcels, along with vegetables and noodles, rice or potatoes.
    Tip 1: You don't need a fancy steamer to make this recipe. A fold-out steamer tray or a colander that fits
    inside a saucepan will do nicely.
    Tip 2: It's important when steaming to make sure that the water never boils dry. Check from time to time
    and top up with extra boiling water if needed.

    This recipe has been taken from the Change4Life 'Supermeals for under a fiver' cookbook
