Poached Chicken in Coconut Sauce
Image by sweet mustache
The original recipe is from this book.
1 can (14.5 oz) coconut milk
2 tbs curry paste (I used red, but green or yellow would also work)
3 lime leaves
1 tbs fish sauce
2 thai chili peppers
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
Cooked rice
Long beans, cooked
Over low heat combine the coconut milk, curry paste, lime leaves, fish sauce and peppers. Stir until heated through, about five minutes. Do not boil.
Add the chicken and continue to cook on low, stirring every few minutes. Don’t let it get above a simmer. Cook until chicken is cooked throught, about 20-25 minutes.
Serve hot over rice. I added the long beans but you can use cilantro as a garnish instead.

Pink Stir-Fried Red Cabbage – Lombarda al ajillo rosa
Image by La.blasco
[EN] I got the recipe from here although I did steam the cabbage first (less than 10 min), so you don’t need to use so much oil. And I didn’t use nuts either, garlic worked really well. This time I added some lemon juice while frying, that changes the colour from purple lombarda to pink.
[ES] Se sofríe el ajo y más tarde se añade la col. Yo la he hecho al vapor antes, para usar menos aceite. Es un plato superrápido, en menos de diez minutos está en la mesa. Esta vez le he añadido un chorrito de limón mientras sofreía, que le cambia másgicamente el color de morado a rosa.

Mint Tea
![recipes]()
Image by rexipe
I went on holiday to Marrakech and loved drinking this tea … I asked the guy who made it at the tea shop near Jamaa El Fna for the recipe and here it is … By the way I have tried this at home and yes it is gorgeous
Ingredients
1 rounded teaspoon green tea
5 teaspoons sugar (granulated)
12-14 large fresh mint leaves
1 cup water
1 sprig of mint per glass to be served
Method
Mix tea and sugar. Crush mint leaves in water. Bring to boil. Pour over tea and sugar. Let steep for 5 minutes. Place small sprig of mint in two thick 4-ounce juice glasses. Strain tea into glasses. Drink while hot.
The man I watched make this tea in Marrakech used one of the small brass coffeemakers which you can buy at Jamaa El Fna. He boiled the mint leaves, tea and sugar over the fire. Then he strained this over the sprigs of mint in the glass.
Enjoy the Recipe
