This one comes from Tom Kerridge’s “Real Life Recipes”, and they were wonderful – possibly the very best thing we’ve eaten all year, and that’s up against some tough competition. And we’ll certainly have them again. However, these were also absolutely a mistake at this particular time, as we were hosting my birthday BBQ this weekend, and in hindsight I should have chosen something a bit easier for the night before. (That said, this was a compromise option – tacos are one of Funsize’s absolute favourites, but LC has become rather bored with them. So mixing things up for her, while still cooking tacos for FS and Surprise! made some sense.)
Anyway, this was a three-part exercise. The chilli salsa was quick and easy to make, with the food processor doing the hardest part of the work. The coleslaw was also quick and easy, with my biggest takeaway from that being that I should stop buying coleslaw – we don’t have it very often, and then most of it doesn’t get eaten, but given how easy coleslaw is to make and given how much nicer the homemade stuff is, that’s an easy sell.
The prawns were where the effort lay, with an easily-assembled batter and then frying. This meant bringing the fryer into use, which in turn meant a fairly unpleasant clean-up job.
But, oh, they’re great once they’re done!
So, yeah, these come highly recommended.
Also, I should note at this time that this will be the first in a flurry of “Experimental Cookery” posts – there was a lot over the weekend that needs captured…
