A friend came visiting from Singapore and I decided to throw in a quick-fix dinner with whatever we had in our magic box - the fridge!
1/2 kilo of medium sized prawns, intact
1 medium-sized pineapple, diced
1 1/2 inch of fresh tumeric, pound with:
a pinch of course sea salt,
3 shallots
3 cloves of garlic
3 chillies (cili padi)
3 stalks of lemon grass, pounded at the base to release the oil
2 cups of water
milk from 2 coconuts
In a casserole, add in the water, 1/2 the coconut milk and all the pounded ingredients. When the mixture boils, add in the pineapple, season to taste. At this point, add a tsp of sugar to balance the whole mixture. When the pineapples are cooked, add in the remaining coconut milk and the prawns. Serve when the prawns are ready, in about 3 minutes of cooking time.
From the frigo, braised wagyu with wild porcini or cèpes.
Salad with Comte cheese
Simple butter cake with orange sauce. Served with fresh raspberry.
