I have had a difficult time adjusting my cooking to what is available to me since I moved to Egypt. So I thought I'd ask you guys for some of your favorite recipes.
Here's one of mine.
Buy chicken wings from Carrefour (they come in a pack from 15 to 20 wings).
Mix 1 tablespoon curry, 1 teaspoon chili (depending on the potency of the powder), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 cup of oil. Put in a bowl and refrigerate for about 6 hours so the spices will permeate the chicken. Mix every once in a while. Place in a pan (round one is nice with tips pointing to the middle) and pour excess oil/spices on top. Bake at medium temperature for 2 hours.
YUMMY!
I know this doesn't sound like much, but it's one of my husband's and my favorites even though it's simple and labor non-intensive.
By the way, someone once mentioned they found the little chocolate chips from the USA. WHERE???? If you have the right recipe these can be wonderful (chocolate chip cookies, brownies with chocolate chunks, congo bars). The semi sweet chips are good with very sweet batters as they balance each other out. If they're milk chocolate they work very nice for the same recipes but also nice chocolate covered strawberries. When I go back home I always bring these back. I'm out!
