Fusion 3

Or playing with plantains and gnocchi again.

Some gnocchi I made the other day from yellowish plantains boiled until tender, flour, salt, ginger, coriander, cayenne, and a little brown sugar. No egg, as this mix was moister than that made from green plantain. Sautéed in olive oil with a little garlic:


Runner beans from the garden boiled until tender then drained:


Some crab sticks from the freezer chopped into one inch lengths:


Half a teaspoon of Panang curry paste sizzled in a spot of oil, then some yoghurt* added:


Everything all mixed together and heated through:


Quite tasty.

*This yoghurt was a failure. I think I didn't heat it up quite enough, and although it went very thick it had an odd texture and wasn't very tart. It was very sort of elastic - slimy, I suppose you'd say. Tasted fine, and the texture wasn't noticeable once it was cooked but was a bit off-putting eaten neat.
