Once again, it took me this long to finish cooking dinner after starting at like 6 (granted, I had to pop out for some ingredients). But I’m actually genuinely proud of myself for tonights dinner. Things I’ve never tried before!
attempt at Mexican
Arroz verde (green rice) - a sleeve each of coriander and parsley blended into a puree with onion, garlic and stove-charred jalapeños, cooked in veggie stock with rice that was first toasted in a touch of oil. Frozen green peas and chopped spring onions stirred through at the end.
Chipotle tomato prawns - defrosted prawns marinated in onion + garlic powder, cumin powder, chipotle infused adobo sauce, and a bit of lime; prawns were pan seared and honestly perfect that way. But I had these tomatoes to use up so I blitzed them with the actual chipotles that were in the sauce, and simmered it on the stove with the oil used to cook the prawns, threw in a stick of cinnamon and some coconut sugar. Then stirred the prawns in at the end.
Steamed broccolini - despite what CEO might tell you these were a very powerful and perfect addition to round out the flavours.
