That is based mostly on a recipe given to me by our late pal who lived within the mountains in Spain.
He liked Indian and Thai meals and was an ideal cook dinner…. or so I’m advised. His meals was all the time a lot too scorching for me to eat however everybody else liked it.
He helped me modify this recipe so it had a lot of taste however little warmth.
When he cooked he all the time made loads and stocked his freezers. He had 2 large freezers and so they had been full of neatly labeled, serving-size containers.
When one lives within the mountains with no shops shut by one is ready….
There have been all the time containers for me – with out the warmth. For instance – there could be 4 or 5 containers labeled ‘Scorching Rat’ for spicy ratatouille and 1 simply labeled ‘Rat’ for me.
We miss him…. However the reminiscences are fantastic.
