" Never pay more than a few quid for a wok" is Mr Slater's advice, " the trendy thick woks with famous names are rubbish" Thank goodness for that! I needed to buy a wok.
Cheap wok at the ready I began to make the stir fry. Personally not a lover of stir fries, pork, and hot chillies I was definitely not looking forward to this.
I decided to take Mr Slater's advice noted in the ingredients "........plus some greens somewhere" and accompany the stir fry with Kale with chorizo and almonds - a recipe which had escaped me on Feb 19 th.
Love the kale recipe but not sure I could eat it as " a light main course" but as a side dish it was excellent and felt like healthy eating.
The stir fry was good if a little too hot for me, next time I will use less chilli. My guinea pig for this recipe was my daughter who loved it but didn't agree that it needed less chillies.
Jim is diabetic and as such , in the interests of his well being and waistline, I try to keep him away from sweets and deserts!!!!! However I do need a second opinion on my cooking - lucky for him.
I decided to make the pastry by hand as I find it therapeutic and hate washing the food processor. The filling was easy to make, with some left over when poured into the pastry case ( which I baked separately in little soufflé dishes -this in fact worked well - good for people like me who don't like pastry)
A delicious tangy desert which is good enough to serve at a dinner party. Lovely!
In the interest of my husbands waistline the rest is now sitting my daughter and future son- in- law's fridge.
