P-Middy In The Waitrose Mag

[joggerjayne]

Pips has her first section in the Waitrose magazine this month.

I am going to become the Hostess With The Mostess (t?). I will impress my pals with tangerine and sake jellies, Vietnamese spring rolls, and ginger mojitos.

Ooh, by the way ... does anyone have a link to a recipe for a seriously arse kicking curry sauce? One that will make my pals' husbands stagger out on to the balcony for a mouthful of cool air?

[stewey]

You're right, JJ. Some like it hot; Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon were great.

[joggerjayne]

Good name for a curry ... the "Some Like It Hot"

[stewey]

Marilyn Monroe had some good parts in it too.

[tonyav]

Yes stewey, two mamarerable ones.

[joggerjayne]

I don't believe it.

Four posts in, and this has become the innuendo thread !

Nice and easy - Malabar Prawn Curry

3tbsp flavourless oil, such as groundnut
1/2tsp mustard seeds
12 curry leaves
2 onions, thinly sliced
5cm (2in) piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4, 1/2, 3/4 chilli powder (according to taste - go hot JJ!)
1/2 tsp each turmeric and ground coriander
4 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
200ml (7fl oz) coconut cream
200ml (7fl oz) coconut milk
squeeze of lemon juice
1tbsp palm sugar (or soft brown sugar)
600g (1lb 5oz) large raw tiger prawns, peeled


What to do:

Heat the oil in a large saute pan or wok, then add the mustard seeds.

When they start to pop, add the curry leaves. Fry for a minute to infuse the oil, then add the onions, ginger and garlic.

Cook over a low heat for 5 minutes, then add the chilli powder, turmeric and coriander. Cook the spices for a minute or two.

Add the tomatoes, coconut cream and milk. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.

Add the lemon juice and palm sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the prawns just before serving, as they only take a few minutes to cook. Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs and serve.

Lemon fragrant rice with a little coriander goes well, as does Raita.

Stewey ... that was funny, lol x

[joggerjayne]

Oh, thanks, DT ...

I'm going to print that off.

[DTCwordfan]

serves 3 to 4 by the way.......

[DTCwordfan]

(and check they eat prawns!)

[ummmm]

Use peoples real names and stop pretending you're something you're not.

[joggerjayne]

SMACK!! ... Ouch!

I'm guessing that also applies to all the ABers who have referred to the late Baroness Thatcher as "Maggie" ?

[friedgreentomato]

You are the only one I have ever heard calling her p-middy its a silly name.

Anyway that aside - Pippa will fill the gap between learning to cook and Nigella. Those airhead hostesses that want to pretend they know what they are doing but don't have a clue.

Those 'ladies' that want to believe they are of another class!

[ummmm]

Margaret is often shortened to Maggie. My nan is Agnes but is called Nancy. Philippa Middleton is shortened to Pippa....you are naming her like she's a rapper.

Susu is also pathetic. Her name is Susanna....

[joggerjayne]

Oh, but FGT ...

Google it! Other people who call her P-Middy ...

Grazia

MTV
The Sun
Now magazine
The Times
Etc
Etc

Some of us kind of like "idiots' guide" recipes. We can't all be Nigella.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, ummmm, if I had £1 for every time you'd called me "pathetic" I'd have ...

Okay, I'd probably only have £2

Mind you, that would've paid for the Waitrose Kitchen magazine, which was £1.20

[friedgreentomato]

OK but looking through that list I can only see one paper that I have flicked through and have never seen it.

But never mind.

[DTCwordfan]

Come off it ummmm, it's a JJ signature as such when she does that 'abbreviation' of someone's name. I don't think that many ABers are irked by it - me definitely not.

[joggerjayne]

Well, how many of us ever flick through, say ... The Times ??

(yawn, snore)
