Chicken Salad


Chicken salad is one of my favorite things to eat. I like to poach my chicken in stock until the internal temp is 165F. This is a kitchen sink recipe using what I had on hand; dried apricots, flaked toasted almonds, scallions. Saute some curry powder in oil and mix with some mayo, I like homemade but the jar kind will do just fine! Try any combination of fruit and nuts; cranberries and pecans, grapes and walnuts, and fresh herbs like tarragon or coriander. Serve in lettuce cups!

Skirt Steak and Butter Beans

Image
I love the Brazilian skirt steak that I have been getting from my butcher. My mother used to always marinate our steaks in Worcestershire sauce and bottled Italian salad dressing, try it it is the best! In the absence of both I marinated this is in HP sauce and olive oil, red wine vinegar, a touch of agave nectar, dried tarragon and dried thyme, in the absence of bottled dressing.  I like to sear my steaks on the stove and finish them in a hot oven (220 C). Serve with butter beans dressed in walnut and arugula pesto for a lovely meal.

Carrot and Cashew Soup

 This is my Aunt Helen's recipe from the restaurant she had in Northern Australia. I loved working there in my American summers.  Sautee onions and carrots in butter, cover with chicken stock and cook until carrots are tender. Blend with cream and toasted cashews, season with salt and white pepper.

Nasi Goreng

 I don't add eggs to my fried rice dishes because I don't like them but feel free to in yours. Pork strips marinated in gochujang, soy sauce, and honey are sauteed, then add your cooled day old rice, petit pois, chopped scallions, ketjap manis, and I like to top mine with fried shallots that you can buy online or in the International foods section.
