Supper

New cookery books always get me excited but also  a little anxious! Odd I know but my dilema comes when I find a recipe I want to cook but then when I turn the page I find another! And so it goes on. I often feel torn as to whether I stay on that page & cook said dish before turning to the next.

So tonight with two books “on the go” we are having a combination of things that may or may not go together, but I have a good feeling about this even though both cuisines are quite different.

a couple of hours later……………………….

Now I will start with an apology.

Sorry no pictures.

This speaks for its self.

Too delicious, eaten before you could say “iphone, where……….. is…….oh forget it”!

And what was it that was so delicious? Rick Stein’s “Far Eastern Odyssey” – Deep fried chicken wings with a chilli & tamarind sambal and a mango, mint, coriander & lime salad. I amended a couple of things here

a) used skinless thigh fillets

b) made up only half the sambal, which was more than enough (and used tamarind concentrate for ease)

c) shallowed fried the chicken

d) and served it with lots of rocket

Plus from the new Yotam Ottolenghi “Plenty”- Sweet potato cakes, but without the sauce and just a big squeeze of lime juice.

Please take my word for it, but so delicious may have to sit quietly for rest of evening.
