Something really simple tonight - takes me back to my student days - mushrooms on toast.

Button mushrooms fried in butter then a tin of Campbells mushroom soup added (DO NOT add the specified water - it is a thick sauce that is wanted). Heat all together and serve piled on toasted wholwheat (or multigrain) toast.

Malcolm, did you grow your lemon from a pip or did you buy a grafted plant?

I grew a grapefruit tree from a pip some years ago. After about fifteen years of careful nurturing it eventually flowered and produced fruit.

The fruits were just like normal grapefruits in size and appearance but when opened up the flesh was about the size of grape, not a grapefruit surrounded by cotton wool - very disappointing. The plant and the flowers smelled nice, though.
Here is a pic of a couple of lemons from my tree, I had a photo of my tree but I can't find it, I'll have to take another.

Do the lemons have a reasonable pith to juice ratio? That was the problem with my grapefruit plant - the fruits were the right size for a grapefruit but inside it was nearly all pith and the juicy part was about the size of a small grape (not grapefruit).

Tuna pasta bake  with chilli tonight. This is my
simple tomato sauce (detailed on these pages) - one tin of tomatoes worth
one tin of tuna
one red chilli (large, mild type) deseeded if you want, chopped
one sweet pepper, chopped
a few capers if you like them (optional)

Cook the chilli and sweet pepper in the tomato sauce until soft. add the tuna, roughly broken up. Add this to the cooked pasta (of your choice) and capers, if using. Mix and place in an ovenproof dish. top with grated cheddar and bake for about 25 - 30 minutes until bubbling and browned.

thought I'd try another Jonathan Phang dish Trinidadian Chicken Pelau - a dish to die for!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons demerara sugar
  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into half
  • 2 tablespoons green seasoning
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 heaped tablespoon Madras curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 cup easy cook rice
  • 200g canned gungo peas
  • 250ml coconut milk
  • 375ml chicken stock
  • 2 small tomato, roughly diced
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chopped fresh coriander to garnish


     






Method                            
Heat up a large non stick saucepan and add the oil. When hot, add the sugar and allow it to bubble until the sugar caramelises and turns a dark golden brown. Add the chicken and stir to coat in the caramel well. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the green seasoning and allow it to coat the chicken also. Next add the onion and the garlic, stir well.
Sprinkle over the curry powder and stir well until you begin to smell the aroma.
Now season with the thyme, Worcestershire sauce, dark soy and hot pepper sauce. Add the rice and stir well making sure each grain of rice is well coated. Now it’s time for the coconut milk, chicken stock, gungo peas and tomatoes.
Bring the mixture up to the boil and then turn down the heat to a very gentle simmer. Place a lid onto the pan and allow it to cook until all the liquid has been absorbed and the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the lid and serve, garnished with freshly chopped coriander.

I was hoping some would be left for tomorrow but no such look the vultures hovered around!

for those that like sauce!
 When I was a QC supervisor at a Unilever Birdseye factory back in 1970, I found an old book in their library with some recipes from about 1860. like this:-
Take 300lb of walnuts (brine soaked)
100lb of soy
50lb of anchovies
50lb Onions minced
Simmer for 1 hour then add:
1lb of ground cloves
1lb of ground ginger
½lb of ground Mace
½lb of ground Black pepper.
100gallons of 20's vinegar
Simmer for ½hour.
