02-05 Tandoori Chicken

This SO good and well worth the time...
To make marinade, mix: (it won't seem like enough but it will be)
2 T soy sauce
1 t ground cumin
1 t ground tumeric
1/4 t crushed red pepper ( its spicy so leave this out if you don't want it)
1 t orange zest
Mix well and add:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken cut into strips/cubes OR cooked chicken, shredded
*If using raw chicken, marinate for 20-30 min. in fridge. Otherwise just set aside.
Make curry-yogurt sauce:
1/2 c plain yogurt
1/4 c tomato sauce
1/3 t curry powder**
1/8 t sugar
a bit of pepper
(really, it will be good!)Place in fridge.
=Prep carrots & onions - see below - while marinading/cooking chicken=
Cook chicken in 1 -2 t sesame oil About 3 min if cooked chicken, 8 min if raw. Set aside.
Saute:
1-2 T sesame oil
1 1/2 c julienne-cut carrots
8 green onions, sliced
for about 10 minutes, until tender.
Mix in chicken mix and
1/4 c fresh cilantro leaves, torn
Stir and remove from heat.
Serve on tortillas with spoonful of yogurt sauce and spoonful of
mango or apple-cranberry chutney -buy it!(you might be able to substitute a bit of jam)
Roll up into a wrap and enjoy!
You could serve it on white/brown rice also.
**Turns out that curry powder is a mixture of cumin, tumeric and a couple other spices so you can interchange curry powder for cumin & tumeric in most recipes...

Everyone really liked it, Ani ate two! I think the flavors were a bit complex for Bri but she ate it.

Leftover sauces:
The next day when everyone took all the chicken for lunches and I only had plain cooked chicken in the fridge left with the sauces, I put the sauces and plain chicken, with some curry powder sprinkled on top, into a tortilla and it was good! I missed the carrots so I put chopped fresh baby spinach in it or you could just eat them on the side raw.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
