Tomato Salad – Domates Salatasi

This salad goes well with most Turkish meals, particularly in summer when tomatoes are at their best. You can arrange the salad any way you like, I have listed the way I prefer to arrange the salad. If you wish to peel the tomatoes and cucumber you may however it is not necessary. You can make this salad one hour before serving. Original recipe comes from a book called “Turkish Cookbook” by Tess Mallos

Chicken With Cashews

A Chinese type of Chicken with Cashews recipe. I added less peanut oil when I was stir-frying as I thought six tablespoons was a bit to much. I used chicken liquid stock instead of water to give the recipe more flavour. I use bean sprout instead bamboo shoots (personal taste) however I think you could add any vegetables you wish without dramatically altering the flavour. When I make this again I would add cashews to the wok to allow them to warm a little instead of sprinkling them at the end. The recipe said the yields is four servings but we had small servings for three people. This recipe is from ‘Cooking with Love’ by Friends of Karen, Inc Does not include marinating time.
