Reduce Reuse Recycle

Chef Stephen wants to let you know that he is using very high quality containers for our take out food. As a matter of fact he put one of the clear plastic containers through the high temp dishwasher and it didn't come out like your kid's art project! So reuse & recycle these containers please!

We have added soup to our list of delicious products! We have on hand BAVARIAN LENTIL BACON & ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH. The weather is perfect for a bowl of homemade soup. Give me a call and put in your order!

We have also added our STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST to the menu. We currently have fetta cheese, spinach & roast garlic or ham & swiss cheese. Phone to order yours today!

We have sold out of the lasagna we had pre made! If you are interested in this item - please pre order!

Next week we should have COMPLETE FROZEN MEALS for sale. Forget that hungry man stuff - these are lovely veg, potato & meat dinners ready for the microwave. We are starting with chicken breast, roasted potato & veg. Also we will have a pasta of the week in this format. When it appears on the list it will be available.

Now for this week's recipe from Chef Stephen...

Hot & Sour Shrimp Soup with Lemon grass (Tom Yam Goong)
1 lb jumbo shrimp - peeled & deviened
4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
3 lemon grass stalks
10 kafir lime leaves
8 ounce can of straw mushrooms - drained
3 T fish sauce
1/4 c fresh lime juice
2 T chopped green onion
1 T chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 red chiles seeded & chopped
2 green onions finely chopped

Method:
Bruise the lemon grass stalks with the blunt end of a chopping knife. Add them to the stock together with 1/2 lime leaves. Simmer gently for 5 -6 minutes or until the stock is fragrant. Strain the stock & return to the sauce pan & re heat. Add the mushrooms & shrimp & cook until the shrimp turn pink. Stir in fish sauce, lime juice, green onions, cilantro, red chiles & the rest of the lime leaves. Taste & adjust seasoning. It should be sour, salty, spicy & hot. Enjoy!

That'll get the nose running! Chef says this is the most popular soup in Thailand!
Until next week!
CA & Chef Stephen
