Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
I love quick food, so there is not surprise that I live anything that can be cooked in a wok. The prep work may be a bit long, since they use a long list of ingredients, but for the most part, that is the only thing you need to do, then it’s just a matter of firing up that wok and step by step you pile on the good stuff and end up with this:
Oh yes, it did taste as good as it looks.
Tom and I love Indian food. Ok, maybe that is not accurate, because I been also saying that I love Italian food, and Mexican food, and Latin food ok, I think I also said here that I like Thai as well – Ok, I come clean, I love ALL FOODS. But Indian food is one of my top five.
Like anything that is new to me, I experience it first at a restaurant and then of course I come home and hit the Internet to find it and make it a home. So when our host of the month, Cynthia and Sam choose the menu for this week in our Gutsy Club, I was really excited, since this is one of the dishes we tend to order in our local Indian restaurant. As I wrote on our Gutsy Cook pre-post, Chicken Biryani, happens to be the most popular Indian recipe around the globe. In India, every region has it’s own version. Some biryani recipes can take hours to prepare. The books recipe is quick and easy since the chicken and rice get cooked together. In less than 30 minutes I had food in our table making this a perfect dish for any day of the week.
The Gutsy Cook menu this week included a favorite of mine: Chicken croquettes or as they are called in Spain “Croquetas de pollo”. Because, while most of Latin American has their own version of this dish. The Spaniards version is the core of all the what-to-be croquetas.
These little dreamy morsels are eaten all over the country. They are served in chic wine bar, in Tabernas, expensive restaurants, in cheap dives and they are all mouth-watering good.
I mean, how – unless you’re a poultry-hater — can you not fall for something that’s crisp outside, creamily inside and you can eat with your fingers?
I totally love them.
