Fried rice over the weekend, inspired by the shrinkrap’s fried rice thread. Clean fridge operation: chicken, chorizo, onion, lettuce and egg.
Saturday, was eating at a friend’s place.
Butternut soup
Beef chuck tajine with dried abricots and couscous.
Dessert was the galette des rois (kings cake), in puffy pastry and almond paste, a classic of January in France to celebrate Epiphany. I made a lime cake, soaked in lime juice and cover with a light frosting. We were talking and got a bit too involved, while the cakes were warming in the oven, the king cake got slightly burnt with the funny black colour on the top.
Yesterday was simple duck breast + mushroom, leek, cheddar and cream tagliatelle. I tried the “dried” cooking method suggested in the mushroom thread. The flavours was much intense. Thanks everyone!
