Eating for Arsekicking (Recipe Exchange)

[tnwingtsun]

There is a right and a wrong way to fry foods,frying has got a bad rap from people using the wrong methods when frying.

The best way to cook a Turkey is to deep fry and steamed french fries taste yukie.

[David Jamieson]

CHili
1 can of tomato puree
1/2 cup spring water
1/2 lb. ground beef or turkey
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup. chopped green pepper
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder


Prepare the puree and water by heating and stirring to mix the water and puree and set aside for the moment.

Using a teflon pan on medium heat, brown the meat then add the onions and let simmer until the onions are half clarified then add the peppers and the remaining spices. Add this to the purre and water mixture and stir it in.

Simmer it for 20 minutes while stirring at a low-medium heat, add salt and pepper to taste and there ya go. Pretty healthy, no oil, tastes good.

cheers

Chicken with Chili and Cucumber.

One large cucumber, peeled seeded and diced.
One large Chicken breast diced.
1 tsp chili and garlic paste.
1/2 crushed small garlic clove minced fine.
3 1/4 inch slices ginger, smashed.
2 tsp light chinese soy
1 tsp chinese rice wine, OR, since it's a pain to get unsalted, 1 tsp dry sherry or gin
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp Peanut oil

2 T chicken stock mixed with about a 1/4 tsp of cornstarch or arrowroot starch.

Combine chicken breast, light soy and booze of choice. Set aside for 15 minutes

Heat a wok over very high heat. Just as it starts to smoke add 3 tsp peanut oil, the ginger and the garlic. Stir fry for 5 seconds and add the chicken. When chicken turns white and is not quite done, add the cucumber and all remaining ingredients EXCEPT the sesame oil. Bring to a strong simmer or starch will not properly thicken the dish. When chicken is done and cucumber is still crunchy but obviously warmed/hot through, pull off heat. Add sesame oil and combine thoroughly. This is CLEARLY cantonese.

Suggest correcting seasoning here. I like a little more salt, usually and a swift light grind of black pepper.

Serve with steamed rice. Or not. Whatever.

Note,some people from Texas have a brain storm and add tatters
to their boil,this makes the shell on the shrimp slimey and hard tah peel,if ya got to have tatters boil them in a different pot and pour the stew over the tatters.

Does anyone else think that 'Recipe for Arsekicking' sounds like a prequel album to 'Appetite for Destruction'?

[David Jamieson]

tn- you could put beans in, but the above without the legumes is much leaner.

cheers

Make your dressings yourself so you know what's in them. Balsamic and a little olive oil go a long way, as do oregano, lemon juice and olive oil, or white vinegar, a little mustard and olive oil. Use much much less than you think you need.

Could you give some idea of proportions for these? (particularly the one including oregano). I've been trying to find a dressing that's actually palatable to me, with very little luck so far.

Try this,

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, cracked
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
Fresh ground Salt and pepper

You might want to go easy on the vinegar to start with to suit your taste,also you may want to add a little dijon mustard

If you're using fresh oregano be careful,it can be strong and over power the other flavors.

Keung Lek,I tested your recipe today,it turned out great,the kids tore it up!

[tnwingtsun]

4 Cornish game hens (14 ounces
-each)
4 Garlic cloves
2 Shallots, or 3 green onions,
-white part only
1 1/2 tb Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Black pepper
1/2 ts Five spice powder
1 1/2 tb Vietnamese fish sauce
-(nouc mam)
1 1/2 tb Light soy sauce
1 1/2 tb Dry sherry

This aromatic barbecued game hen can be easily served West- ern style
with rice, cole slaw or a green salad. [But it would be better with
Thai cucumber salad or Vietnamese carrot salad.

Halve the hens through the breast. Flatten with the palm of your hand.

In a mortar or food processor, pound or mince garlic, shallots and
sugar. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour mixture
over hens; marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in refrigerator.

Set hens, skin-side down, on grill and barbecue over medium coals for
15 minutes. Turn and barbecue 15 minutes longer or until they are
thoroughly cooked. Serve with Nuoc Cham dipping sauce.








Nuoc Cham

1 Garlic clove minced
1/4 ts Pepper flakes red, crushed(fresh is better)
2 tb Fish sauce
2 ts Sugar
1 ts Lime peel minced
2 ts Lime juice
3 tb Water

Increase the amount of red pepper flakes to suit taste. Combine garlic, lime peel, and red pepper
flakes; then add lime juice, fish sauce, water, and sugar. Whisk until all ingredients are blended and
sugar is dissolved.

Makes about 1/3 cup.

Fatherdog,

The "Standard" dressing is 4 parts oil to one part acid. Adjust as suits your taste.

The oregano/lemon/olive oil one is clearly greek influenced. Use less oregano than you'd think--maybe 3/4 tsp for 1/4 cup lemon juice.

Incidentally, I prefer my greek type dressings a little thinner, so less oil.
