Well, last nights meal was gorgeous!
Stir-fried chicken with lime and coconut.
It was a recipe that caught my eye when I first flicked through the Delia book. It was scheduled for the night before, but as is my wont, I left my shopping list at home and forgot most of the ingredients. About the only thing I remembered was the chicken!
I marinated the chicken in the lime juice and zest for an hour, as told to by the recipe. I must admit, I have often wondered if marinating really works, after all, surely the flavours would burn off and cook away? But I’m glad to say that the lime flavour was well and truly present…it was great!
The coconut juice was surprising too, more creamy than coconutty and the fresh coriander rounded it all off nicely.
I reckon, up to date this was my favourite meal, a beautiful flavour, easy to prepare and cook, fairly cheap. I did cock up with the Thai rice, which was a bit soggy but edible all the same. It soaked up the coconut and lime juices really well!
