Alas, not my dish!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some time ago I wanted to make a proper egg-mayonnaise sandwich. So I \u2018googled\u2019 the topic. Particularly important was being able to peel the eggs without totally butchering them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found a really egg-cellent website, getcracking.com, which sorted me out on that front poifeckly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This very useful web resource also suggested that readers try Doro Wat<\/a>, an Ethiopian chicken curry recipe that uses hard-boiled eggs. So I\u2019m going to cook it tonight, for us, and Dad and Claire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 much later the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much later\u2026 The chickens and\/or the eggs!?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My own work, above; not looking quite as good or appetising as the getcracking.com example at the top of this post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally\u2026 on\u2019t plate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dad and Claire did eat with us (sadly, brother Sam could\u2019nae join us). And survived! If I made it again, I\u2019d change it up a bit. I\u2019d do chicken breast pieces, and brown them off earlier in the process, not huge bits on the bone and cookies at the very end. I\u2019d add more ghee, and prob\u2019 also more chilli, ginger, garlic and water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I\u2019m totally honest, it was merely ok. Quite nice even. But perhaps not something to write home about? The \u2018berbere\u2019 spice mix – so many spices! – which smelt very fragrant initially, somehow didn\u2019t quite pack the expected punch. Still, worth a shot. You live n\u2019 learn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovely to spend the evening with Dad and Claire as well. Plus, whenever we have guests round, an incidental benefit is that we will usually tidy the place up considerably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
