Thai style Mussels / Mexilhão à Tailandesa.


Who likes mussels?
I know a bunch of people that doesn't like mussels but I certainly love them!
This recipe, another successful one from Melissa Clark "Dinner: Changing the Game" cookbook, is another winner, specially for those who love Thai flavours.
This is also my last contribution (out of date) for this month's Rainydaybites online Cook Book Club and I couldn't have chosen a better recipe to end May and the Melissa Clark cook off. Although, I must say, there's still lots of recipes marked down to be tried and tested so, you'll see more of this gorgeous book recipes around here soon.

Vitnamese Ginger Chicken / Frango Vietnamina com Gengibre.


A delicious chicken meal from Melissa Clark new book "Dinner". A book full of different and delicious suggestions. No bread, baking or sweet treats included. Just savoury delicious dinner (or lunch), suggestions. Another great book that I'm very pleased with and that goes directly to my category of the "well spent money" books!
I truly love Asian flavours and combinations and this meal was very tasteful. The chicken, grilled, full of flavour, tender and moist, was a real delight to eat.

Another recipe from Rachel Khoo's new cook book and again, a fabulous dinner for all the family.
The recipe is very easy to make and very quick and the flavours and textures go so well together and complement each other in such an harmonious way that you have a mouthful of pleasure on each fork.

1kg chicken drumsticks and thighs
1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
for the glaze:
3 cloves of garlic, peeled
3cm ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
100g runny honey
80ml light soy sauce or tamari
1 red chilli, with seeds
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp fish sauce
for the Malaysian salad:
1 cucumber, washed
1/2 a small pineapple
1 small red onion
juice of 1 lime
sea salt


method:
Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
In a food processor, blend all the ingredients for the glaze until fairly smooth.
Place the chicken pieces in a large roasting tin and toss in the glaze.
Bake for 45 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
To make the salad, cut the cucumber in half lengthways, then deseed with a teaspoon and discard the seeds.
Cut in half again, then slice across on the diagonal and put it in a large bowl.
Peel the pineapple, cut into small cubes and add to the bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the onion and add it to the bowl too.
Add the lime juice.
Taste the salad and season with salt just before serving.
