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.

fri16aug13: feijoada, Brazilian black bean stew

This week's dish, a winter stew of black beans & pork, chorizo & bacon, served with white rice & collard greens. A Brazilian dish, put forward by my friend Diego after too much talk about Portuguese food. This is how he describes it:
"
...okok I got it - you like Portuguese food yea? 
well trust me, you gonna love Brazillian food even more after this one
hundred-hundred percent
maybe Portugal just disappear from your memory, you never know
so, ok, listen, yea?
first you take different kinds of pieces of pork
like chorizo, like bacon, & like smok-ed bacon bones, you know, right?
cook it with the black beans of my home country
that's right, talkin bout brazilian black beans man
cook it together & smash a garlic
get all the flavour in there, yea? you know what I mean, right?
serve it with fresh orange
salty silverbeet
& the delicious farofa
& remember white rice, don't forget it ok?
(followed by some weird pig snorting type noises that I can't spell, which I'm not sure contribute to the recipe, but can't be certain)
"
For my part, the beans are now soaking, I've done a little research & there's a recipe forming...

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

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

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