Mister Sparkles' Kitchen Korner

If this isnt the best thing you've ever seen, you haven't seen anything yet.

 

On side note... Whatever it is it looks like chunk of butter in tomato sauce which is rubbing me the wrong way. -> This is about Deviant Attitude's post.

 

It is perfection on a plate. A sandwich covered in cheese (and a fried egg if you are into that). Inside this beauty you can find ham, sausages, more cheese and the best part, a big juicy rare steak.
The sauce is indeed a variation on a tomato sauce. It has a few more ingredients, like beer, Port Wine (the recipe was made by an immigrant from Porto), and whisky. Some people like it spicy, but its not how I do it.
And of course on the side some fries to dip in the sauce and a cold soda/beer.



Its one of those things that you feel bad for your body after eating it. Imagine McDonalds, only 10x worse. I love it. And its called "Francesinha"

Oh, paging @bubsigma. She knows what Im talking about.

 

Chicken Curry

Fresh Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
2 small onions, 1 chopped, 1 halved and sliced
1 tomato, peeled, deseeded and chopped
(Tip: drop the tomato into the stock for 30 seconds to make it easier to remove the skin)
1 red bell pepper, deseeded and cut into strips
1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Coriander leaves (Optional)
2 tsp fresh cream (or crème fraiche)
Chapatis to serve

Store Cupboard Ingredients
1 litre vegetable stock, on the simmer
4 tbs sunflower oil
Scant tsp fennel seeds
Scant tsp chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
Pinch of ground ginger
Large tsp ground coriander
2 tbsp. tomato purée
1 tbsp. sunflower oil
2 tbsp. cashew nut paste
(soak the cashew nuts and then liquidise with a splash of water)




Soak the cashew nuts
In a cup, soak 2 tablespoons of cashew nuts in water. Prepare the vegetables so that they can be added to the frying pans when required.
Prepare the chicken
Chop the chicken and add to the boiling stock. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Once cooked, remove and set aside. When the chicken has cooled a little, coat it in the turmeric powder.

Fry the peppers and onion
In a frying pan heat two tablespoons of sunflower oil. Add the bell pepper and sliced onion (not the chopped one) and fry until the onions are soft. While this is cooking, start making the onion and tomato masala.

Make the Onion and Tomato Masala
Heat two tablespoons of sunflower oil in a large frying pan, karahi pan or wok and once hot add the fennel seeds. Fry for around 30 seconds. Add the chopped onion and cook until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the garlic and fresh chilli and continue frying the mixture until the garlic is cooked but not burnt. Add the pinch of ground ginger and scant teaspoon of chilli powder. Add the 2 tablespoons of tomato purée; fry off for a few seconds; and then add the fresh tomato. Add 2 ladles of vegetable stock. Add the coriander powder. Mix and add more stock (up to 4 ladles). Reduce and add more stock as required. Make the cashew nut paste in a food processor and add it to the masala.
Add the chicken pieces. Add the onion, pepper mix to the masala. Add 2 ladles of stock. Add the fresh cream and coriander leaves (if using, reserving some for a garnish). Taste, reduce, and add salt if required. Serve with a sprinkling of coriander leaves (if using) and a splash of cream (or crème fraiche) and chapatis.

Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings

Chicken wings
1 tsp Chilli powder
1 tsp Ground ginger
1 Fresh red chilli (deseeded and chopped)
Zest of 1 lime
3½ tbs honey
2 tbs Light soy sauce
Put chilli powder, ginger, fresh chilli and lime zest into a bowl and mix. Add chicken wings and mix together.
Leave to marinade in fridge for a couple of hours (or leave out for ½ an hour)
Put chicken wings onto a baking tray with a little oil and cook in a hot oven until cooked.
Heat wok and add chicken, soy sauce and honey. Cook until sticky. The chicken should go straight from the oven to the wok to stop the juices running out and making the chicken dry.

 

How about songs about SUGAR and HONEY ?

Where has this thread been all of my life :c

Lamb over rice is one of my favorite dishes ever! I also like chicken over rice. I get either of those for lunch everyday at school. With a drink it's $5. Really inexpensive and filling

 

You all start cooking or eating or whatever, while I bath in this liquid-heaven.

 

I had the most delicious stuff on earth : Lachslocken



Expensive as hell, but I was almost crying with delight...

 

Delicious thread

 

Warning: don't view this thread if you are hungry!

 

Hmmm, I can imagine the taste of that silky chocolate sauce, so rich, such depravity.
