the concept

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.

fri14dec2012: basque style shoulder of lamb, pimentón y tomate (tomato smoked paprika)

A little red tin of pimentón ahumado, smoked paprika, from Spain is this week's hero. Taking inspiration once more from the cuisines of Spain & Catalonia, Galicia & the Basque, this Friday night brings the menu my take on a lamb dish, marinated in onions rosemary & white wine, then slow cooked with tomatoes roasted peppers & garlic, pimentón ahumado & red wine. In fridaynightdinnerbox fashion, the lamb will be accompanied quite possibly by a side of braised chic peas, though a steamed potato dish may replace it by the end of the week, & of course a salad. 

Your part is simple: get in touch by thursday afternoon, cos that's when i go shopping, & tell me how many you'd like.

Drop-offs from 4pm onwards, to the office/site/home just let me know what suits.

To order, contact me by email:
pabloskitchen@yahoo.com (subject heading: “fridaynightdinnerbox”)
or contact me by txt:
021 676 123
& I’ll confirm your order when received.
talk to you soon…
cheers - Pablo
