Im always looking for new recipes for pasta with prawns and love this new one from Mark Hix. You can use any short pasta as an alternative and in the recipe pictured I used Red Shrimp rather than the prawns specified, but I thibk any good larger prawns would work.
A spicy chicken and lemongrass stir fry from Cambodia. The recipe is from Y Sok, a Cambodian refugee who came to the UK aged 37 after first migrating to the USA with her family. She runs Kambuja restaurant in the Marple area of Greater Manchester.
A favourite Spanish soup from ” Cook “, the first recipe book by Thomasina Miers which I bought in 2007 and which i think is now out of print. If your guests are squeamish about runny eggs poach the eggs in the soup or separately before serving , but the Spanish would never do this!
I saw this recipe from ” THe Pigs in Blankets Cookbook” from The Jolly Hog and could not resist it. Its great as a light supper as well as as a side for the festive season.
A quick version of Ca Ri Ga ( chicken curry) from ” Alice’s Cook Book” by Alice Hart. If you have chopped root ginger or torn kaffir lime leaves add with the garlic. Prawns or cubed pork can be used instead of chicken. If you haver time leave the chicken to marinate for an hour before cooking. SErve with french baguette or some steamed rice.
A very good risotto from ” Nigella Bites” by Nigella Lawson, although she credits it to renowned Italian foodwriter Anna del Conte writing in ” Secrets of an Italian Kitchen”.
Sticking with todays theme of things to do with leftover Turkey, here is a curry with thai influences from ” Gizzi’s Seasons Eating’s” by Gizzi Erskine.
