Shakira's Belated Birthday Lunch :)

Sunday 28 Sept 2008

Vynecia asked me to cook for shakira as a surprise, after some thoughts we decided to cook in vynecia's place, well its not actually in vynecia's home lol, because vynecia is afraid of her grandpa, so we have to cook downstair beside the pool and playground.

I'm using a hot plate vynecia gave me, still not used to it but its convinient lol i think im gonna buy one, actually im planning to make full course appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert. But there is only 1 hot plate, so i have to cancel the soup, and vynecia didnt get me the complete ingredient lol !next time its better i bought the ingredient all by myself xD and she didnt bake the cake cause of her oven is not working ...and it suppose to be the dessert but at least everything went ok :P

But Vynecia really really really helped me alot xD washing this and that lol, chopping .

I bought 2 whole chickens, i marinated the chicken overnight, with oregano herbs, lemon, pepper and salt after i deboned it, lemon just goes really well with chicken, :D

i used the chicken breast for pan fried, im suppose to do stuffed chicken, because of insufficient of ingredient so i just made simple pan fried lemon chicken beast, and the rest of the meat i used in the capsicum stuffed with chicken and salad, salad should be with croutons ( baked buttered white bread), bacon pan fried cut into matchstick size, but because couldnt get the ingredient, i have to serve the salad with lettuce and chicken cubes that i marinated and some cherry tomatoes, serve with dressing, dressing are olive oil, mustard, herbs ( your liking oregano, mints, mixed herbs etc), lemon juice, pepper, salt.

as for the main course is capsicum stuffed with tomato paste chicken serve with white rice ( vynecia's grandpa made it lol !) and the chicken breast i just mentioned and salmon with creamy vodka sauce, for the capsicum stuffed with tomato paste chicken, first i bought round and big capsicum suitable for stuffing ingredient into it, cut the top and make it looks like a cup, i took some of the marinated chicken and cook it, after its cooked i throw in tomato paste, bits of capsicum from the capsicum that i cut from the top, herbs, parmesan, onions, garlic, pepper, salt. then i cover it for few mins with low heat waiting it till its cooked, while im waiting i cut the cup shapped capsicum looks like a flower, without cutting till to the bottom, i tie it with butcher string to make it secure to stuffed the tomato paste chicken in, then sprinkle some parmesan cheese on it, it suppose to be baked after that lol, since the oven is not functioning so we have to eat it raw, but its still not bad :)

as for the salmon, i dry it with paper towel, cover it with herbs, pepper, salt and lime juice, fish are best not marinate over night, or else it will be mushy and it will turn out really bad, best between 30 mins - 2 hours, dont overcook the salmon, it will not taste good, stiff and dry. as for the sauce for salmon i used garlics, onions, whipping cream ( making it a thick sauce without putting any thickening agents), parmesan, herbs, pepper and salt, best put in some fish stock.

Shakira came right after im done, right on time. she loves all of my food xD so does vynecia.

vynecia and i had some vodka, vynecia almost finished half of the vodka -.- , we made video for soo fern too :P
