Sweet Surprise

Wow its been ages since I last blogged, this is partly due to unforeseen circumstances and a bit of laziness too! I must admit I've missed blogging but I'm back *smiles*. I still am yet to blog about my time in Thailand and Malaysia but I'll save that for my next post. 

Today I decided to resurrect the family power juicer after almost 11 years! Yup you read right ... please believe its been sitting in the corner of my kitchen catching dust and after a thorough wash and clean I made a 'sweet surprise' juice from Jack La Lanne's cookbook.


Ingredients:

• 3 pineapple spears
• 1 orange 
• 4 fresh strawberries 
• 1 bunch of red grapes ( I had no grapes, but you may include some) 

                               Add the ingredients in the above order and enjoy immediately  

London

Hey All!

I can't believe we're in June, half way through the year already *yikes* but I'm pretty excited for the things yet to come. I was also back in London this week and it felt so good to be home, the last time I was there was in January so it was long overdue I paid a visit.

Every first Sunday of the month where I live we have a feast where the whole community comes together with food, arts and craft and open stalls. Its a great way for the community to bond and definitely a good way to get a taste of all the good food in the local area and beyond.

This was my first time attending and it was nice to see the creative ideas people had when it came to food, here are a few pictures of the day.

      

Barbequed Portobello, smoked paprika, seasoned aubergine and pesto cheddar with rocket,
 truffle mayonnaise and Mooshie's smoky sauce
This tasted really nice!

      

      

     

                                 

p.s I'll be in Thailand and Malaysia this summer :)

Chicken Fried Rice + Sweet Chili Chicken

Hey foodies, Happy Sunday to you all... I feel like its been a while since I last blogged about food, so today I'll be sharing my chicken fried rice and sweet chili chicken recipe. This has become a staple dish since I've been in Amsterdam and its really quick and easy to make.

Ingredients - Chicken Fried rice

• 1 Chicken fillet 
• 1 1/2 cups of rice
• 1 Onion
• Spring Onions 
• 1/2 scotch bonnet (or other spice)
• Peas
• 1 egg
• Garlic, ginger, chicken seasoning and soy sauce 

2. Sweet chili chicken

• 2 spoons of sweet chili 
• 3 drops soy sauce 
• chicken seasoning

Cold cooked rice which has been left in the fridge is best for this recipe as less water and moisture is in the rice. However if your in a rush warm rice also works out fine ( I use this all the time) just reduce the amount of water to avoid the rice sticking

Firstly, cut the chicken fillet into pieces add some chicken seasoning and fry in a frying pan till 3/4 cooked.

Then add the finally chopped onions, spring onions,scotch bonnet, peas, garlic, ginger and then fry all together for about 5 mins

Once done push this to one side of the frying pan and add 1 whisked egg, allow to fry and then scramble.

The rice is now ready to add, add a few drops of soy sauce and some sweet chili.

2. For the sweet chili chicken, mix the above ingredients together and leave in the fridge for 1 hour (or overnight) to marinate. Add some oil to a pan and then fry until cooked

A healthier option would be to cook the chicken in an oven
