Mrs Gibbin Returns!


Mrs Gibbin returned to St. Peter's to give a demonstration lesson in Thai Cooking.

Pupils and staff both agreed that her Chicken Thai Red Curry was delicious!

Here's the recipe - give it a try.

2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 onions
2 cloves garlic
3 peppers – different colours – deseeded and sliced
2 chicken breasts
4 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
200ml coconut milk
200ml chicken stock – use stock cubes for convenience
Coriander
Thai fragrance rice or basmati rice

1. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan or wok and sauté the peppers for approximately 2 minutes, add the garlic, take from the pan
2. Heat the rest of the oil and cook the chicken strips for 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the Thai curry paste.
4. Add the chicken stock and the coconut cream
5. In a large pan cook the rice in plenty of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 10-12 minutes or as per instructions.
6. Serve the curry on a bed of rice and sprinkle over the coriander if using.


How could we follow that?


With Mrs Luke, of course, and her Vegetarian Pancakes.


Wilson versus Walton

Two members of staff, Mr Wilson and Mrs Walton both served up some wonderful dishes at Cook It Club.







Mr Wilson again brought his Saint Peter’s Perfect Passata to the table.

The pupil's agreed, it was hot!

SPPP is a spicy Italian dish tomato based dish. The warmth of red-hot chilly peppers are combined with the aromatic taste of garlic and more subtle flavour of basil. A perfect dish for warming the children, or mamma & papa on a cold winter’s evening.
The recipe is in an earlier entry in this blog.

Mrs Walton was 'flipping great' with her version of pancakes!
