Hey Dave...I think your recipes are great, and I will add them to my collection,
with your permission....I may change them a little, but then, I do that with
every recipe I have ever cooked, except perhaps the first time. Tonight, because
we had a very busy day in the highrise in Nanaimo, I was forced to pull some
pre-cooked, deep fried prawns outta the freezer, and do somthing with them....so
here is what I did: (For two)
6 mushrooms, sliced
half onion, chopped fine
1 cup chicken stock
1 tsp Jim C's smoked hab powder....use more to your peril!
little peanut oil for the onions and mushrooms
Thaw the prawns, or not if not frozen! Put oil in pan and simmer onions, and the
mushrooms, add a little flour when mushrooms start to sweat, and then add the
chicken stock....sprinkle with the hab powder...more if you wish...one teaspoon
of this stuff will add FIRE naturally, seeing as who made it! You should now have
a nice mushroom gravy
to which you will add the prawns...I used 8 prawns for two, more if you
wish...these were deep fried with a batter, so were pretty big. When I added them
to the gravy, they all swelled up, of course, and there was sufficient for two.
Another half cup of chicken stock to the boil, very little salt, pinch of hab
powder, half cup of cous cous, turn off heat and let stand for ten
minutes...serve with the other mess. If you dont like it delete it. Cheers, Doug
