The waiter (Carlos) was kind enough to take a group photo of us as our entrees arrived.
Unfortunately, I didn't have my tripod, so hand held in low light is not really conducive to crisp shots. They turned out 'ok', all things considered.
I currently have a big batch of chicken broth simmering away in the slow cooker .. it's been going for about 12 hours and I'll probably leave it on for another 24 hours.
This is what I made for lunch today. Chilli, chicken and prawn meatballs crusted in sesame seeds with a sweet chilli dipping sauce. Unfortunately, my chillies weren't very strong so I'll remedy that for the next batch!
I ate so many of them at lunch time that I didn't even have dinner tonight.
I used 500g each of green prawns and chicken mince.
I processed the prawns until they were quite smooth, then added 2 T of chilled water and pulsed it until the mixture was quite sticky. I then added the chicken mince, 2 T fish sauce, finely chopped chilly, garlic and spring onions and pulsed until it was mixed well.
I coated my hands in oil so that the mixture wouldn't stick and made some small meatballs, which I rolled in sesame seeds and then flattened slightly. I shallow fried them in coconut oil and after they were cooked, sprinkled them with himalayan salt and cracked pepper.
I made a dipping sauce with apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, chopped coriander, chilli and fish sauce. It needed more chilli.
Anyway, that's it from me. I'll try to get some more shots from my week away, up here soon, but I really need to focus on the studies, so I don't know when that will happen.
Nite all.
