This New Year I’m cooking my way steadily through ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. I love her tweaks to traditional thai recipes such as using fish rather than prawns or chicken in this dish. If you want to use prawns instead, just add them after the onions and garlic. Serve with some rice.
Sausages in an aromatic sweet and sour sauce from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage. If you like you could add some tinned or jarred beans to make this a more substantial dish, or serve with grilled bread to mop up the juices. Tuscan or Sicilian fennel and chilli sausages are good in this if you can find them, but if not any good quality and quite fatty sausages will do nicely.
A very good potato salad from ” Notes from a Small Kitchen Island” by Debora Robertson. If you like it can be made the day before, but only add the onion and the herbs and stir them in about an hour before serving.
Slow cooked soft shredded lamb, Chinese style, from ” At my Table” by Nigella Lawson. The lamb is also very good served warm squashed into bread rolls. Any leftovers can be served with rice, along with the cooking juices.
