[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 



We talk about that SMUG feeling a bit on this podcast and we simply ADORE the smug feeling of having chicken marinating in the fridge! It’s like having money in the bank - you know it’s sitting there waiting to be GORGEOUS. And chicken is a bit of a BLANK CANVAS (like tofu) and you need to put your art into it to turn it into something wonderful - what better way than with a marinade?

RECIPE

2 tbs tikka masala curry paste 

+ 2 cloves of garlic 

2 tbs ginger 

2 chillies 

Cumin seeds, ground 

Lime juice 

Tsp salt 

1 can coconut cream 

Oven at 190C. Cook for 50 minutes. Serve on rice. 

(I use chicken marylands, a whole butterflied chicken or chicken thigh cutlets. The cooking time will vary depending on which cut you use.)

No fail coconut chicken 🥥🍗

[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 

I overcome my dread of puff pastry for this episode of 5MFF, and it's because I am steering my favourite seasonal vegetable to a bed I will make from said puff pastry. The mattress on the bed is made from goat's cheese mixed with whatever herbs you have at hand. This recipe is from a wonderful cook and food writer Belinda Jeffery, who recommends cutting the puff pastry into pieces 12cmX18cm, then baking for 10-12 mins in a 200C oven. Allow to cool then top with the goat's cheese filling (below), and 5-6 lightly blanched and dried asparagus spears. 



GOAT’S CHEESE FILLING  

280g soft goat’s cheese 

1/4 cup finely chopped dill  

2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon  

1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley  

1 tablespoon finely snipped chives

[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 



Simon does love fish for dinner, but sadly, having now moved to regional VIC, he doesn’t have the same access to all the beautiful fish markets, mongers etc he used to. Sob. So... how is he getting that fishy fix? Well, often it’s frozen salmon, of course! Don’t knock it – as an ingredient it works wonders, you just need to defrost it properly and then you’re away. This salmon teriyaki recipe has become a go-to midweek fish dinner and if it isn’t already in your repertoire, well, it SHOULD BE.

Recipe

Combine 1/2 cup sake, 1/4 cup mirin, and 1/4 cup soy sauce in a small bowl; set teriyaki sauce aside. 

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your salmon fillets lightly with salt.  

Working in batches (2 at a time), cook the salmon skin-side down until the skin is brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until the other side is just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.  

Pour the fat out of the skillet, then add the sauce and boil it off until reduced by about two-thirds (about 4 minutes), then add the salmon skin side up and cook for a further 2 minutes, spooning that sauce over until the sauce is syrupy. Transfer to a plate and serve with white rice, noodles or simple salad.
