Asian Spiced Lamb Chops

The original recipe for these lamb chops came from some cooking classes that I did many moons ago in Canberra. Since then they have been modified in various ways and most times that I make them there is something that is a little bit different.

Tonight we had them with fried rice and a lovely glass of red and it certainly fit the spot.

Stir Fried Fish with Ginger

I was bored with my normal stir fries the other night which have tended to get a little bit the same and mostly resemble thai style so I thought I’d branch out and concentrate on making a more chinese style version. This recipe is the result and if I do say so myself it was pretty damn good.

Coconut Pie

This delicious recipe is another that originated with Nancy’s cooking classes in Canberra. I dug it out again tonight and thought it was fabulous. From the lack of leftovers it seems my guests agreed.

These barbecue pork fillets work fantastically with fried rice.  This can be a meal all by itself or served as part of a bigger spread of dishes.

I first received a variation of this recipe during some cooking classes that I did many years ago in Canberra.  I’m still cooking many of the recipes I learned in this class with slight variations and my thanks go out to Nancy and her fabulous Asian flavours.

This recipe can be made with nearly any bits and pieces that you have in the fridge at the end of the week and will result in a tasty dish that you can have on its own or use as a side with something else with something else. As you can see from the pictures, this time we enjoyed it with Barbecue Pork Fillets. It’s also a great way to use up left over rice if you have any.

I hope you enjoy and that you are willing to share your own variations.
