Sometimes, actually no ,most of the times, i have people walk into my home and I'm mostly taken by surprise , because Arshad has forgotten to tell me that , he is having people over, and then all of a sudden, I'm looking at my fridge , wondering , what on earth am i going to give them at such a short notice and that's where Chicken sausages, save me time and time again,i.e. if they are non-vegetarian...
This is something i experimented with and it tasted awesome and so now , when in doubt this is what i rustle up in about 10 minutes max
Chicken frankfurters
olive oil
freshly pounded mustard
a drop of soya sauce
a dollop of honey or according to your taste
Cut the chicken frankfurters into pieces 1 inch thick, and mix all the rest of the ingredients into it, or you can add it all after you put the frankfurters in the hot pan, cook it till it becomes a slight burnt brown and you are ready to rumble....
This finishes off the platter faster than you can say "Jack Robinson", i also toast bread and cut it into bits and add it to this and also sometimes add onion rings sauteed in soya sauce, to add to the volume and the drama...and chili flakes right at the end as garnish...
So what bursts in your mouth with every bite , is the flavour of chicken with a hint of mustard and lovely caramelised honey and just as you taking it all in , the chili flakes add that extra AAAAHHHHH ....
This is not the healthiest , but definitely one of the tastiest quick bites....

hi, with cellphones now warsi needs to get better at informing ;)..ha!ha!.but kudos to you.i learnt to cook because necessity is the mother of all invention & i love cooking today creating my own concotions..i make a smiliar dish but add ketchup & chinese hot sauce-siracha to your above ingredients, also to make it seem more substantial (started in our lack of money days) i added fried masala potatoes & caramalize the onions & sprinkle it with cilantro (kotmir)- i do the same thing with shrimp (used to add bottle masala now chilli, haldi & dhania/jeera pwdrs) & enjoy it with steamed chinese buns..this helps on days when i need a pick me up..now i'm hungry & it's only 10am!!

ReplyDeleteMaria,
ReplyDeleteLoving your recipes and your writings. Did not know you were such a passionate cook!
FYI: I went to St. Maria Goretti high school (same as Priyanka Chopra`s). From then on I have felt some sort of kinship with you (strange and silly but true).
Good luck,
