Ten Minute Thai Chicken Noodle Soup

April 3, 2012 in Chicken, Food from Far Away, One Pot Meals, Soups, Speedy Suppers

Winter she’s a-coming, I can smell it, I can hear it, and I can feel it. The air has that little chilly edge to it, the trees are gracefully dropping their leaves, the light has a different quality about it. And besides the poetry of it all, it means soup weather, cosiness, fluffy socks, boots and more steaming mugs of tea than usual. And a whole lot more than that. I for one am not going to be found complaining

And speaking of soups, I thought this was a good place to kick off when it comes to fighting the chill. There is a plethora of quick and easy Thai chicken and noodle soup recipes out there. This is my version, delivering as much bang for your buck, prettiness and punch as it can muster in just 10 minutes (cooking time). Read the rest of this entry →

Slow-cooked Chicken with Chorizo and Cider

February 24, 2012 in Food from Far Away, Lazy Weekend Food, One Pot Meals

Chorizo time again. I can’t seem to beat the habit. However, I am going to take a positive stance on this, as I try not to be in the habit of eating underwhelming food either.
I like to think of this one-pot-wonder as a kind of slow-cooked miracle. You have the spicy robustness of the chorizo, the silkiness of the slow-cooked onions, the good old humble and comforting roast chicken pieces, and then punch of the cider rounds it all off beautifully. Perfect happy-making weekend food (that I shall unashamedly be cooking again and again).
If you also have a little chorizo fetish at the moment and missed out on my Chickpea and Chorizo Stew a couple of weeks ago, you can read it here. Read the rest of this entry →

Indian-style Coconut Fish Curry

February 8, 2012 in Fish and Seafood, Food from Far Away, One Pot Meals

I’ve been meaning to make fish curry for ages, and after finally getting round to it, I’ve learnt two things 1. Always give in to your food cravings. Always. and 2. Sometimes food chooses you. You see, I don’t know quite what I expected from this, but I certainly didn’t expect to want to eat it for lunch and dinner two days in a row. What’s more, I even have the faint glow of smugness of having converted a couple of non-fish-curriers along the way, with the added bonus of knowing that it’s exquisitely simple to make. Why not see for yourself?
