Turkish Chicken Kebab Recipe - extremely tasty and easy to make.

Ingredients (Serves 3)
500 g chicken breasts cut into cubes
1 tbsp canola oil

To prepare the marinade:
1 cup low fat yogurt
1 tbsp red vinegar
1 tbsp tomato paste
3 crushed garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red chili pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp mixed spices
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
Method:

Combine all marinade’s ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken cubes and stir until they are well coated.
Cover the bowl and marinate for 2 hours in the fridge.
Heat the oil in a deep pan. Add the chicken cubes with the marinade and cook for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is done and sauce thickens.
Serve hot with basmati rice. :) :) :) Enjoy!

I've made sauerkraut in the past which traditionally has a longer fermentation/storage time and will stink your house out.

The basics are similar though so it would seem to me to be fairly simple to make.

Making moules-frites tonight.

It's pretty simple I guess, but any tips? Was going to make my own chips but spent the morning reading about chip pan fires and decided oven fries would taste better anyway...

Using dry white wine, garlic, parsley, shallots and a bit of double cream at the end.

Halloumi is pretty versatile as a cheese and you can even marinate it. Occasionally I'll marinate it in oil and hot chilli sauce for an hour and then pan fry it a few minutes each side serve it on a bed of roasted vegetables with some pasta or lentils.

That's pretty much it really.

You can make a moules Normande with bacon, brandy, mushrooms and apple and it's lovely.

I will definitely give it a try for next time when I get the ingredients together! Cheers.

Hoping to cook some variation of a white fish, roasted carrots seasoned with cumin and a beetroot sauce.

Would this work?!

White fish generally has a delicate flavour so something like a beetroot sauce would likely be overpowering.

Salmon would work better with a beetroot. You can marinade the salmon fillet in beetroot juice the night before and then roast it in the oven in a baking paper bag with some butter so it self sauces.

I was a bit silly and didnt go to the butchers until late afternoon. Had hoped to buy a rack of lamb but their stock had gone. So instead I have a pork belly in the fridge covered in salt, will braise it tomorrow then compress overnight ready to fry on Sunday

I'm putting together a Culinary World Cup to coincide with the tournament in Russia this year.

Essentially I've picked one popular street food dish from each competing country and they'll face off against each other on match days.

People can vote thier favorite dish on social media and the overall winner gets the points or share if it's a draw.

I've got most of the recipes in place and am putting it all together over the next few weeks.

Hope you all can join in!
