Why stand stirring the risotto when you can be doing other things? With stilton and chorizo, this risotto is just delicious.]]> http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/stilton-and-chorizo-oven-baked-risotto/feed/ 1 http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/1950s-recipe-malaysian-jahor-laksa/ http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/1950s-recipe-malaysian-jahor-laksa/#comments Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:13:43 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=786
Since visiting Tampopo restaurant I've wanted to learn how to make my own laksa, a kind of curry spiced soup with noodles. Laksa originally refers to the noodles used, but over time has come to mean the soup. I took this recipe from my 1950's recipe book, although I've tweaked it a fair bit.]]> http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/1950s-recipe-malaysian-jahor-laksa/feed/ 5 http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/norfolk-week-buttered-norfolk-samphire/ http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/norfolk-week-buttered-norfolk-samphire/#comments Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:29:00 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=623
If you haven't tried samphire before, I can only describe the texture as like spaghetti, it's very smooth and salty to boot. Here's my recipe with a pinch more flavour, but it's still good with plain ol' butter.]]> http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/norfolk-week-buttered-norfolk-samphire/feed/ 0 http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/thai-prawn-and-mussel-tom-yam-hot-sour-soup/ http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/thai-prawn-and-mussel-tom-yam-hot-sour-soup/#comments Tue, 18 May 2010 17:45:37 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=497
This is one of my absolute favourite things to eat, plus it's really healthy too. I learned to make this whilst I was travelling, at a little place called Pum's on Kho Phi Phi island. This soup isn't so much sour as zingy - make sure you use fresh kaffir lime leaves, it really does make a difference to the taste.]]> http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/thai-prawn-and-mussel-tom-yam-hot-sour-soup/feed/ 2 http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/slow-cooked-saucy-ribs/ http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/slow-cooked-saucy-ribs/#comments Tue, 20 Apr 2010 20:41:35 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=468
Slow cooking ribs just makes them fall off their bones, so they're wonderfully tender and really take in all the flavours of the sauce. The best thing is you can go out for the day and these will be almost ready when you get home. Lip-smackingly good!]]> http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/slow-cooked-saucy-ribs/feed/ 1 http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/chicken-rice/ http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/chicken-rice/#comments Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:46:33 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=381
A recipe that sure does what it says on the tin. Yes, it looks like the world's dullest meal, but I've been brought up on this traditional Malaysian food and the recipe I'm telling you has been passed down through 3 generations of my family. If there was one food I had to live on for the rest of my life (apart from Dim Sum), it'd be this.]]> http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/chicken-rice/feed/ 3 http://laythetable.com/snacks/stilton-bacon-and-red-onion-tartlets/ http://laythetable.com/snacks/stilton-bacon-and-red-onion-tartlets/#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:24:34 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=343
We've packed away the decorations and laid the Christmas songs to rest for another year, but what's left in your fridge? Admittedly, I didn't have the stilton left in the fridge, it was on the clearance shelf at the supermarket and I do so love blue cheese!]]> http://laythetable.com/snacks/stilton-bacon-and-red-onion-tartlets/feed/ 0
