Chicken Satay
That's a very scenic recipe that I copied from the web (here) as it was without even a single input from my side, except omitting what I couldn't find in the cupboard ;)
What's surprising is that even my brother liked it ;) although in the original recipe, there is too much coconut cream to my taste, so the dip ended up too sweet.
Well well well, I had planned to take a forced break from research and dedicate to new projects, but last night I got an email from one of the grants I had tried, and it looks like I will stay in Alicante for at least two years doing more research. So happy about it and proud of myself ;) although to be honest my bank account will suffer the transition from a UK salary to a Spanish one... would be pbly good to top up the wage with some dinners for foreigners ;) Stay tuned, we'll begin in September!
