..if you are willing to share.
What is your favourite recipe, and why?
-
24 clove Garlic chicken.. why... cooks in the microwave, never fails, is excellent and is finished by the time the rice is cooked elsewhere, oh and your breath doesn't smell.
My own pumpkin pies, two recipes for different types, one baked, one not.. why...because it took me years of trying to finally design ones I was happy with .
My Grand Marnier marmalade jelly,but that one is a secret.sssh

My Thai chili sauce!
2 ounces (56.7g) fresh red chilies, roughly chopped (remove seeds if less heat is desired)
3/4 (170g) sugar
1 cup (227g) white vinegar
4 cups (113g) sultanas, chopped (white raisins)
1-2 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1/2-1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 1/1. Place chilies in a food processor with half the vinegar and process until the chilies are finely chopped.
2. Do not be concerned if the chili seeds remain whole.
3. Combine the chili and vinegar mixture with the remaining vinegar, and all other ingredients, in a small stainless steel saucepan (take care adding the salt- you can always add more later if you wish).
4. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves, bring to the boil briefly, then reduce temperature to allow the mixture to simmer gently until the chilies and sultanas are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.
5. When cool, puree until almost smooth.
6. Pour into a suitably sized sterilised bottle and seal.

As it's starting to get near summer (honestly!), one I discovered last year
Courgettes (lots)
Garlic (a few cloves)
Pine Nuts (a handful)
Fresh basil (a handful)
Fresh grated Parmaggio Cheese (about another handful)
As you can see, my recipes aren't scientific, but this one doesn't need to be.
Slice the courgettes in to thin ribbons.
Gently fry the pine nuts and crushed garlic until just coloured in plenty of good olive oil.
Add the courgettes and basil and cook through.
Throw in the parmaggio right at the end.
Serve with fresh pasta; tagliatelle or tagliolini is very good.
Wonderful with an honest, full bodied red wine.
Takes only a few minutes to prepare and cook as well, so ideal for mid-week.
