3-4 Medium tomatoes
(or a couple cans of whole tomatoes)
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 small onion
1 Tbs tomato paste
1 Tbs of oregano, parsley, basil, blk pepper.
(I grow my own and add whatever looks good)
1 or more tsp crushed red pepper!!!

-Saute the diced tomatoes and diced onion in a little water for a 3-5
minutes.
-Add the spices, diced garlic, pepper and onion.
-melt in the tomato paste and simmer for 15-20 minutes, it will cook down to
a nice light sauce. Add more tomato paste if you want a thicker sauce. Add
more tomatoes if you want a chunkier sauce.

I don’t mean to be criptic with the measurements, my Grandmother taught me
how to “sight cook” and I rarely use spoons or cups, if it smells good and
the spices look evenly distributed, I’m happy.

demerara: a brown sugar, but each grain is kind of separate. If you
have a Carribean store in your neighbourhood, their brown sugar is
what you want. But you can substitute light brown sugar for it.
Muscvada: Very dark brown sugar (almost black), sticks
together in one solid lump and has to be prised apart. The
rawest (and tastiest) of all the sugars. Really good for dark
cakes and especially Christmas puddings.
Brown crystal. Very large variagated brown crystals of sugar,
hard and crunchy usually used in coffee.
jaggary; barely refined cane sugar. Substitute a “raw” sugar or
Mexican piloncillo sugar.
Scampi OR Dublin Bay Prawns; Butterfly shrimps or Pacific prawns

Title: TURKISH CHICKEN WITH WALNUT SAUCE
Categories: Poultry, Sauces, Turkish
Yield: 6 servings

1 3-1/2 to 4 lb chicken

——————-POACHING FLAVOURINGS——————-
2 Onions; sliced, unpeeled
1 Bouquet garni
1/2 Lemon (juice only)
A few peppercorns
Coriander seeds

———————–WALNUT SAUCE———————–
6 oz Walnut kernels
1 1/2 oz Crustless bread
1 1/2 ts Well-toasted corinader seeds
1 bn Fresh coriander
2 tb Walnut oil
1 tb Paprika

Put the bird into a pan, add the flavourings and
enough hot (not boiling) water to cover the thighs.
Poach for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours until tender. Let the
bird cool in the pan, then skin and bone it. Wrap the
flesh to keep it succulent. Return the chicken skin
and bones to the pan and simmer for 2 hours more.
Strain and de-grease. Reduce to 3/4 pints and cool.

Scald or lightly toast the nuts and rub off the papery
thin skins. Then, using a spice or coffee mill,
reduce the nuts and coriander seeds to a fine powder.
Process in small batches, adding the bread to minumise
stickiness. Transfer the aromatic powder to a bowl and
gradually blend in as much of the stock as is needed
to make a creamy-textured masking sauce ~ you probably
won’t need it at all.

Cut the meat into small strips. Put them into a
pretty dish, adding some of the sauce and a little
fresh chopped coriander between layers. Spoon the
rest of the sauce over the top to cover the meat
completely. Just before serving, stir ther walnut oil
into the paprika. Drizzle the mixture over the dish
in a decorative red pattern and place a little bouquet
of fresh coriander in the centre. Serve with rice and
a green salad.
