Is Ice Skating Good For A Date

Korma Chicken Pistachio - Pistachio chicken korma


On 3rd Salon of Culinary Blog who just finished at Soissons, Damien asked me to prepare a dish for Sunday brunch. I immediately thought of this dish combines products from two partners (France Bunny & Wonderful Pistachios) of the show, and were available in sufficient quantities on site. Thank Philou have a huge pile of shelled pistachios (with the help of other bloggers) and Chef Christophe has a bunch of boneless rabbit legs!

I wanted to recreate this dish at home, but I used chicken because I had to thaw in the fridge.

Chicken Korma pistachio

750g chicken, cut into small pieces (or other meat: chicken or other by adjusting the cooking time)

2cm fresh ginger, grated
2cm fresh turmeric, grated (or 1 tsp powder)

Shell the pistachios and reduce powder (you can also soak the pistachios in warm water for an hour before the mixer).
Heat ghee.
sauté onion, garlic, ginger and turmeric.

Strain mixture to blender.

At The 3rd Fair Culinary Blog thats just Took place in Soissons, France, Damien Asked me to prepare for the dish The Sunday brunch. Immediately I Thought of this dish Which Brings Together The Produce of Two partners (France Bunny & Wonderful Pistachios) of the Fair that were easily available on site in sufficient quantities. I thank Philou for peeling a huge pile of pistachios and Chef Christophe who debone a pile of rabbit thighs for me!

I wanted to re-create this recipe at home but I used chicken since that is what was defrosting in the fridge.
