kaini Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 i'll get the ball rolling with a thai-influenced citrus chicken soup with a cheeky nod to the bloody mary: A: ingredients/implements 500 ml chicken stock 3 cloves garlic, VERY finely chopped 3 stalks lemon grass, chopped 2b green chilis, deseeded, but with the white flesh left in. VERY VERY finely diced. the rind of one lemon 3 tbsp fish sauce the juice of two small limes 1 nice bunch fresh coriander, chopped 1 nice bunch fresh basil, chopped several shots of vodka several pots cheesecloth/new tights/old tights if kinky directions - add the stock to a pot - bring to a rolling boil - add the garlic, chili, lemon grass, lime juice, and lemon rind - simmer for 15 minutes on a low heat - add the coriander, basil, vodka, and fish sauce - simmer for 10 minutes on a low heat - pour into a cheesecloth suspended over another pot and squeeze very well. get every drop out. B: ingredients/implements 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts fresh green beans fresh garden peas fresh sugar snap peas fresh spinach, roughly chopped diced shallots a nice big cast iron pan excellent olive oil directions - all sauteed - cook the chicken until done, then add the rest - when done shred the chicken breasts very finely - stick the lot under a grill for a minute - shouldn't be greasy the soup directions - stir fresh B into still-simmering A - simmer for another 30 minutes on a very low heat - the chicken should pretty much have turned to threads - garnish with some heavy coconut milk, maybe even reduced a bit in a pot - actually some chopped mint would be nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
