so, remember the masterchef ribs from a while ago?! there's some tasty sauce left from those ribs, not a lot, but i felt sinful to pour it down the drain! lots of goodness went into that thick sauce - beautiful spices like cinnamon, paprika and bay leaves were used, and almost a bottle of malt vinegar AND 125ml of whisky!!

because the sauce has a sweet and tangy flavour, i immediately thought of making a tagine out of it, with a little moroccan influence in my mind.


-Chicken tagine with red capsicum + zucchini-

so to dilute the thick concentrated sauce, i added tomato and a small dash of water. as the chicken pieces simmer in the sauce, i added some marinated red capscium pieces into the pan, then some thickly chopped zucchini and chopped mint. before dishing up, throw in a handful of saltana and some more chopped mint, and place 2 lime wedges on top.

also made a simple couscous - throwing in some chopped marinated red capsicum, saltana and chopped mint, and a mint yoghurt - simply mixing finely chopped mint into plain yoghurt and a small squeeze of lemon juice.



and an orange salad with mint infused orange honey syrup!
