nice recipe - although i wonder about adding the lime juice up front.

Does lime juice not get bitter when heated?

I'm an IT professional, used to be a programmer, now project manager. But all I really do is think of food all day, plan dinner, and my blog. I live for the day I escape the industry and work in a kitchen!

Sssh... don't tell anyone ;)

Weird - I just signed up to twitter last week... and am still trying to work out if I like it!

I love gin, and am mostly an old-school gal... but Hendricks makes a gorgeous Sunday afternoon drink.

A few years ago, I did a taste test with some friends with 11 different gins - hendricks was by far the most popular overall. My favourite was the Plymouth Navy Strength - but at 57% you have to be careful ;)

simon - that sounds fabulous - I'm definitely going to try this.

Here is another super easy recipe :)

Fry up an onion until soft then add a couple of cloves of garlic, and maybe a tablespoon of grated ginger and fry for another couple of minutes. Add whatever meat you are using and brown. Add some curry powder (see the packet for quantities!) and a tin of chopped tomatoes and simmer for about 20 minutes. (Season as required)

To get a creamier curry, add some yoghurt when you add the tomatoes, and/ or some cream at the end. (Don't let the cream boil!)

If you don't add cream, you could try adding a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a slightly different flavour!

Another amazing way to eat jamon (with bread!):
Split your bagette in half, you can optionally toast the cut side. Rub the cut side with a split clove of garlic, then follow by rubbing it with a wedge of tomato so the bread soaks up the tomato juices. Season with a little salt and fresh ground black pepper and place the slices of ham on the top.
