so anything you've cooked or anything you've eaten out that you want to share, post it up
last bank holiday i had curried goat. i'd never tried goat before, and i don't think i've even seen it in the shops, but it was really nice - the meat was lovely, just melted in the mouth, nice flavours without being overly spicy hot. along with it i had some rice and peas ( which is actually rice and beans ) and that was surprisingly really nice. i mean its just rice and beans, but it was really tasty, its cooked with coconut, and there was different types of beans. i'm going to try and get the recipe for that and i'll share it here. i eat rice quite a bit but i haven't since then because once you've eaten it cooked like this normal rice is just boring!
another thing i had recently that i'd never tried before was oxtail. i've had oxtail soup before, but never a proper chunk of oxtail! it was cooked really nice, the meat just feel apart, it was cooked in this spicy sauce that kinda warmed you from the inside as you ate it. i'm going to try get the recipe for that as well, apparently oxtail is quite cheap, and the sauce was great - but i'd like to try it with a bit more sauce.
something i want to try cooking soon is nasi goreng. i'd seen it about but never tried it, but i picked up some frozen stuff from lidl a few weeks back and loved it! its an indonesian fried rice dish with vegetables ( and the lidl version has chicken in as well ) cooked with spices and coconut. i've looked about for recipes, and they all differ quite a bit, and you can get nasi goreng sauce/paste, but nothing really matches the lidl version so i've written down the spices and will be experimenting soon!
on the sweet side of things, i'm currently addicted to aldi turkish delight - its a chocolate bar filled with lovely gooey turkish delight goodness*
