Red Onion Confit

This is my second entry in Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted this time by Chris from Mele Cotte. Chris you do have lots of entries I am going to need a holiday to get to see them all. Sorry that I missed out last week with the founder of the Weekend Herb Blogging event Kayln hosting.

Recipe Request

Tonight I had a request for this particular dish.

Panfried scallops with tomato, onion, capsicum & avocado salpicon, lemon butter sauce.

Cape Town Lamb Curry

This just has to be one of the most popular curry dishes that have ever been on the menu……

This recipe I have from working in Switzerland from a chef that was in South Africa. Simple, tender and tasty.

What you need; 200ml vegetable oil, 5kg lamb shoulder dice, 3kg sliced onion, the same volume of onion in tomatoes cut in quarters, 200g garlic, 200g ginger puree, 4 limes, 150g curry powder (Clive of India)

Chocolate Rum Balls

What with the feeling of Christmas coming and the love of chocolate in most of us, I thought that I would share with you this simple recipe for Chocolate Rum Balls. Do your self a favour though, get your hands on the best chocolate that you can, believe me it makes the difference in almost all chocolate recipes.

You will need; 480g Butter, 8 Egg yolks, 150g Cocoa, 500g Icing sugar, 6 shots Rum and 1.2 kg Chocolate grated.

This should make you 160 balls, depending on how much you eat and how big you roll the balls!!
