A squeeze of lemon and a scattering of dried chilis made mine perfect.
Sunday night dinner after a long, long day away from the house. Two girls fresh from a bath. A pot of soup. And silliness.
The recipe is from Jamie Oliver. (P.S. Soon we have to discuss his new show which I adore.) As I was frying the fragrant mix of fresh garlic, ginger, chili pepper, lemongrass, and lime leaves with a little cumin thrown in, J. noted, "Our house smells like a hippie house." Which in J.-speak is a compliment. I would make this again, but would definitely add more broth next time. I also used brown basmati rice which was delish.
Yes, they did gobble it up...
...both of them...
...and Pooh, too.
