Carne asada

I discovered that the butcher I usually go to carries flank steak a while ago. The price was appealing, so I picked up a slab and made carne asada with it.

Carne asada is a fairly simply dish to make. The trick for great flavour is to let the flank steak soak in the marinade for at least four hours and preferably overnight.

Coconut fenugreek curry with lamb meatballs

Inspired by a cooking presentation that a friend took me to a few weeks ago, I made this lamb meatball curry from scratch a few days later.

This is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious pork main. You can mix your own blend of spices.

Malaysian chicken curry

After a couple weeks of sun and warmth, a glimpse of spring, the temperature dropped to a cool 7°C during the day and as low as 0°C at night. What better, then, than to have a steamy bowl of rice with hearty curry for dinner?

Lamb vindaloo

After a visit to Asia Market and sourcing lots of wonderful spices and herbs, I decided to make curry from scratch for the first time. I was able to find lamb stew meat at the butcher's, so I went for a lamb vindaloo. Again, my mini chopper proved to be a terrific buy.
