Bruschetta. Not very adventurous, not difficult, not sophisticated. But I have watched “Julie & Julia” again and made it right after the movie finished. Julie has fried bread on lots of butter. It was dark golden, crunchy and moist. I normally grill it with olive oil. but noooooooo, butter is the way forward methinks.
That fantastic bread I put lovingly on the plate and topped with chopped tomato, basil and shallot mixture and freshly grated ( the only way again!) parmesan. YUMMMMMMMM!!!!
…or kushiyaki, as we used to have them in Ubon 17 years ago.
I was so pleased with my teriyaki sauce last time that I made it again, following exactly the same recipe as in the one with chicken meatballs, only this time I cut my boneless chicken thigs into small pieces and put them on skewers, seasoned simply with salt, pepper and sesame oil and grilled. Served with rice flavoured with turmeric, ground coriander and fresh coriander as well as green beans. I ate the lot, loved the sauce and the juicy chicken. Might try with beef next time.
On the joys of cooking and eating
