Hi Pommette
Sorry I haven't been on for an age I've been busy. I lost a half lb the week before last and 2lb last week and slimmer of the week (which was nice) and got my 1 and a half stone award - which was fab
Here is my very long diary which I have been keeping even though I haven't been on here. Last week at group we got the new 'A Taste of Asia' recipe books which we had ordered so that was exciting. Tried my first recipe tonight (lemon chicken) and hoping to do red Thai fish curry tomorrow from the same book. It's a gorgeous recipe book and I can see it becoming a favourite alongside the 'Curry Heaven' one. Speaking of which - I'm so sorry Pommette here is that recipe:
700g x lean mince
2 tsp peeled and finely grated ginger
2 garlic cloves crushed
2 tsp crushed fennel seeds
1tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp mild chilli powder
salt and pepper
You basically put all that lot together in a bowl and mix using your hands until well mixed. Then form into walnut sized balls. You put the meatballs raw into the passata sauce I already gave you the recipe for once it is heated) Then heat gently for 15-20 minutes turning occasionally until cooked through.
So sorry for the wait - but they are absolutely lovely and one of my new favourite (and super easy) teas.
