Gnarly peanut chicken

WITH ZINGY LIME & A KICK OF FRESH CHILLI

Ingredients

• 2 x 120 g free-range skinless chicken breasts
• 2 limes
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 2 heaped tablespoons peanut butter
• 1-2 fresh red chillies

• Method

  1. Turn the grill on to medium-high.
  2. Score the chicken breasts in a criss-cross fashion, rub with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and the finely grated zest of 1 lime.
  3. Place criss-cross side down in a cold 26cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan and put it on a medium-high heat, while you peel and finely grate the garlic into a bowl.
  4. Squeeze in the juice from 1½ limes, stir in the peanut butter and loosen with enough water to give you a spoonable consistency.
  5. Finely slice the chilli, then mix (as much as you dare!) through the sauce, taste and season to perfection.
  6. Flip the chicken over, spoon over the sauce, then transfer to the grill, roughly 10cm from the heat, for 5 minutes, or until gnarly and cooked through.
  7. Finely grate over the remaining lime zest, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Serve with lime wedges, for squeezing over.

How to make a Perfect British Pie

 

Shared and curated by Josefa Ramos:

I love cooking and especially pastries. Puff pastry is great for both sweet and savory dishes. I have been looking for a recipe for an English dish that uses it and I have found this wonderful recipe to make a perfect English cake. I share it with you in case anyone dares to do it. Although getting to do it like this chef will be very difficult

TACO TUESDAY

 

Shared and curated by Mary Marsell:

What does Tuesday have to do with tacos? Better yet to ask, What is a Tuesday without tacos? A very sad Tuesday, that's what it is!

Taco Tuesday has become a widespread custom throughout the United States.  once a week to satisfy our taco addictions on the cheap.
While Taco Tuesday is prolific all over the United States (and in many other countries), it’s especially popular throughout Southern California. Beach cities in this region have developed a serious fondness for Taco Tuesday specials.

This new tradition seems to have started in 1989 and was trademarked that same year by Taco John's (a Taco chain across the U.S.).
However, the idea was cooked up much earlier than that. In October 1933, White Star Cafeteria created a weeklong campaign in order to let locals know that they were offering “Mexican tacos” each Tuesday. Throughout the next several decades, a number of restaurants had designated Tuesday as the day for special deals on tacos.

Honestly, the origins of Taco Tuesday aren’t exactly simple to trace. For one, the idea of offering discounted tacos every Tuesday is a concept that’s prevailed for decades—even before the alliterative couplet of Taco Tuesday was coined in the first place and before Taco John's bought the trademark, and in reality, it doesn't matter. The important thing to know is that on Tuesday in the USA you can get the best and greatest variety of tacos for the least amount of money. 

I am a fair believer that tacos should be at the top of the food pyramid. Your choice of select seasoned vegetables, meats, in a corn blanket (or tortilla, whatever you want to call it), topped with an array of delicious toppings of your choosing – salsas, onion, cilantro, cheese, and if you’re lucky, GUAC(amole)! Is your mouth watering yet?!

*Friends don't let friends go TACO-LESS. Help a friend today... #TacoTuesday

*I wonder if theres a taco out there thinking about me, too....#TacoTuesday

*In astrology if you're born on Taco Night, your sign is Guac! ... #TacoTuesday

*Taco Emergency, call 9 Juan Juan!   #TacoTuesday

I´d rather like using short videos for speaking activities or even for a writing activity in pairs, where the students have to write about the story behind the video or answer some questions about it, but I never play movies because they´re too long and many of the students would get bored, would prefer to watch other stuff or watch it at home rather than in the classroom
