This is Chef floWers version of Spinach Gomae. It’s a side dish I often ordered at my favourite Japanese restaurant (before it closed down.) I found a visual version on you tube and since I couldn’t find a recipe on www.recipezaar.com I thought I would add it to Zaar’s collection. We all love this salad and my daughter can eat the whole serving (if I let her). I often double the recipe, so she can have extra greens, well it worked for Popeye The Sailor Man. Ayyye
Lamb is consumed quite a bit in Australia. I cooked this leg of lamb in the slow cooker today for Little Miss (DD) and Hubby (DD). I don’t eat red meat, but I don’t deprive my family if they want to eat it. You may not want to season the lamb with salt, as this recipe has the liquid stock & soy which both have high salt contents, but it’s up to your taste bugs. You could also push some rosemary into the incisions with the garlic or sprinkle some around the lamb once its in the Slow Cooker / Crock Pot. Hubby said the meat fell away from the bone. Enjoy
This dish could be served as a brunch dish, or for any light meal or snack. When I came across this recipe tonight in a recipe book – The Midweek Cookbook: 200 Ways with Potatoes – I really hadn’t looked at since the seventies, the name of this dish intrigued me. A web search produced nothing of relevance, just lots of references to dog breeding kennels! So unfortunately I know nothing of the origins of recipe’s name. I’m posting a C21st adaptation here so that I remember to make it some time! It’s actually rather similar to what I’ve always referred to as a chip omelette, although I usually make that with diced raw potatoes.
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
My neighbour was telling me about this dish a while ago and they way she explained it made my mouth water. I asked her a copy of the recipe and here it is now on Zaar. I’ve only tried it once and next time I make it I may remove the liquid/sauce and puree it so it could be a thicker green sauce. I will also try it with chicken thighs as I used chicken breast and it wasn’t tender as I wanted it to be. Overall the flavours were yummy and I served it with cous cous. UPDATE!! After much consideration and experimentation, I’ve double to sauce as suggested by the reviewers – NOTE!! An “average” sized bunch of coriander is 60 grams (2 oz) = 1 1/2 cups chopped
