fridaynightdinnerbox: fri18may: last supper, jambalaya, prawn & chorizo, saffron cream, coriander salsa

the concept

The idea came from some friends, Lucy Jason & George, who were back home briefly & raved about a chef in London's East End...http://fridaynightakeout.blogspot.com/

I thought it was such a good idea, the best thing to do would be to bring it to life here where I live in New Zealand.
So...I'm also a freelance chef, each week I cook a different dish, depending on what's in season, what's good now, or just how I feel. Lately I've been cooking a lot of my mother's dishes

Dish descriptions will be posted here online early in the week, recipes later over the weekend, with links to:

As I play with the idea through the week, the dish maybe evolves a little, but that's half the fun. Meals will be priced at $20, incl delivery & orders can be made anytime up to roughly lunchtime Thursday, which is when I go shopping. Simply get in touch, email or txt, you can order as many as you like!
Afternoon Friday I'll deliver dinnerboxes warm/cooling/cold, locally in & around my base, which admittedly does change a bit - currently I'm north of Auckland, living by the beach in Mangawhai (just let me know where you are when you get in touch).

I've recently included an email subscription option at the bottom of this page &, while I have no idea how it works, the hope is that it automatically sends to subscribers email notifications each week about the dish...so, sign up!

disclaimer:
From time to time, when the wanderlust takes over, I hit the road & disappear in search of dishes, tastes & ingredients elsewhere. Then this blog takes on a different kind of persona; a travelling recipe book of notes, pics & stories, ideas to inspire & for me to return to, once I get back home.

fri18may: last supper, jambalaya, prawn & chorizo, saffron cream, coriander salsa

The wish to publish a new dish each friday, avoiding repetition, has not been without opposition. One fridaynightdinnerbox dish in particular, if requests for repeats are anything to go by, stands out from the rest. A late posting then, the last fridaynightdinnerbox for a while, fridaynightdinnerbox favourite, jambalaya with prawns & spicy sausage, saffron cream, coriander salsa.

In this week's jambalaya, prawns are marinated in a coriander ginger & garlic salsa verde, the sausage will be a spicy khulen or pepperoni, or both, & instead of rice, bulghur wheat - though as I scan the pantry I notice Israeli couscous, which I've not had for a while...might use that instead...
