Found some great furniture today – teak, hand polished to a glossy black shade, yet showing the grain. Instantly fell in love with the stuff. Winced at the cost, gritted my teeth and ordered the lot. I’ll probably live to regret it, but the nice part is that the furniture will probably outlive me.

Came home intending to cook something totally different – chicken in a thick, , traditional gravy. Finally settled for [macaroni]. I wanted the to be , crunchy, sour, tangy… and meaty. To top it all, it also had to be ready in 15 minutes tops. So here goes:

Macaroni in Garlic and Coriander Sauce
  • 3 tbsp chopped cucumber
  • 2 small tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small , chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped jalapenos
  • 3 cups beef stock [or any other]
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 cup salami chopped into strips
  • 1 tbsp chilli flakes
  • 3 cloves of garlic, smashed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup prepared

Method:

For the prepared , wash some leaves. Blanch in lightly salted boiling water for 1 minute. Remove, drain and chop finely. You can prepare a batch in advance and then freeze in ice trays if you like. That way, a few cubes in thrown in while cooking gives a nutritious angle to any dish.

  1. Heat the olive oil

  3. Add the tomatoes. Saute for 2 minutes
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the stock, cucumber, and coriander
  5. Saute for 2 minutes
  6. Add the stock. Bring to the boil.
  7. Add the . Stir well.
  8. Stir in the coriander.
  9. Add the cucumber.Mix.

(For a vegetarian version, simply replace the beef stock with vegetable stock and leave out the salami)
Serve macaroni topped with the . I loved it and hope you like it too.
