Every one of the others were found to have been inhabited with various creepy crawlies as well as some slithering slimy guests...The Chooks got a good feed from them so all is good.....
Poached Thai style Chicken & salad...
Poaching the Chicken...
- 3 large Chook thighs, cut into large pieces
- 1 can light Coconut Cream + same can filled with water & 1 tsp of Chicken Stock
- 1 stalk of Lemongrass, chopped
- 3cm piece of Galangal, Sliced thinly
- ½ Spanish/Purple Onion, chopped
- 2 large cloves of Garlic, crushed
Place the above ingredients into a pot & bring to the boil then slowly simmer for 15 minutes..Allow to cool...
Salad....
For the salad I used
- Wombok Cabbage, sliced by an Expert - Handful of beans, Sliced thinly
- ½ a red Capsicum, diced
- 2 Carrots, julienned
- ½ Spanish onion, sliced thinly
- Basil, chopped
- Cucumber, sliced thinly
Toss the Wombok, Carrot, Beans, Capsicum together & plate up...
Slice the Poached Chicken & place on top..
Garnish with Onions & Basil... I kept the Cucumber to the side to help cool the mouth in case of Chilli overdose in the warm dressing.... : )»
Dressings...
I made 2 simple dressings...
Warm Dressing was made by stirring in 2 heaped tsp of Chilli paste to the poaching liquid then warming through.... B☼ & I poured this over the salad & found it excellent & full of flavour.....
The cold dressing was made with,
½ a block of Palm sugar, crushedabout 2 tsp of Sesame oil
1/8 cup of Rice Vinegar
& the leftover Lemongrass chopped finely...
Pour into a container & SHAKE !!!!!
The Girls loved the cold dressing & had the leftover salad & dressing for lunch the next day....
Made up another MEGA batch of Zucchini & Veggie sauce again today.... We had 4 big Zucchini & added a few grated Carrots from the fridge this time as we have heaps of Baby Carrots being picked at the moment.....
That be it for Now....
Have a great one all.....
