Chicken satay salad

Another real crowd-pleaser at the moment. We did this recipe 5 times in the last month. It is soooooooooooo good! The original is here . Quantities are for 4 people. Cut 350 g of chicken breast in thin slices. Here you want to take the time to make thin slice so it will be crispy and wonderful while cooking. Stripes are also ok, but then you won't have the perfect texture. Mix the chicken with pepper, 1.5 teaspoon of curry powder and 2 teaspoons of soy sauce . Put aside while preparing the rest. Prepare the dressing by mixing: ¼ cup peanut butter (smooth or not) 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tsp brown sugar 1½ tbsp sriracha (I put some smoky tabasco) 2 tbsp lime juice 6 tbsp coconut milk 2 tbsp water (adjust so the consistency is right, it will depend if you are using natural peanut butter or not) ¼ tsp salt In the original recipe, the salad is made up from 4 cups of mixed cabbage, shredded and 2 carrots, finely chopped . However,...

Pain aux zucchinis

A great favorite of mine and a good alternative to banana bread, if you ever get tired of it. Originally it was from Josée Di Stasio's website, but it got removed and so well, there is no link to follow this time. Preheat the oven at 175C. In a big mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs and add 125 ml of oil, 100 g of sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla and half a teaspoon of cinnamon . Add 2 cups of grated zucchinis (no need to remove the skin or to remove the water). Mix well. Add half a teaspoon of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt and 200 g of flour and mix together. If wanted, add half a cup of chocolate chips . Pour in a bread mold and bake for roughly 40 minutes, or until golden outside, and dry on the inside (check with a knife inserted in the middle). Enjoy!

The best pancakes

We always wanted to find a recipe for tall, fluffy and full proof pancakes. This is it. In only 8 days, we already made it 3 times!!! It is so easy, so good! The original is here . The quantities will give a nice breakfast for 2 people. In a mixing bowl, whisk together  30 g of room temperature butter (or melt it slightly in the microwave) and 25 g of sugar . Whisk in 1 egg , 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup nature flavored yogurt (or vanilla, then omit the vanilla extract), 2 tablespoon of milk (only if using 2% or more for the yogurt, if using leaner version, you an skip the milk), 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Add 130 g of flour and mix gently in. *** The texture should be quite stiff, ie non-liquid. If it spread in the pan when you spoon it, it is too runny!!! It should stay in place if you want the tall/fluffy effect. Heat the oven at 225C. Heat a frying pan on medium heat and melt a knob of butter before spooning the pancake mixture. Whe...
