Monday night I offered to cook for a small group of people. The group it's self is named " Soul Food" and is faith based. The group leaders Dathan and Dillan have a gift for helping others reach thier full potential in Christ.
For this group I prepared Roasted Red Pepper and Corn Chowder as a starter. A very simple sauté of the veggies, which included onion, corn, peppers and spices. To this add chicken stock. Do NOT use bullion cubes or some dry package of dust to make chicken stock. Such products taste terrible and have way to many questionable ingredients. For goodness sake use store bought stock if you can not make your own! Once the stock has been added bring it to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer then add cream, rice and diced pre-cooked chicken.
The main course was a splendid piece of Loin of Pork. This I got at my local butcher shop "The Cajun Cleaver". I cut an opening down the length of it so I can stuff it with fresh ingredients. I filled the opening with cilantro, minced fresh ginger, garlic and seasoning.
I roast it till almost done. Remove it from the oven, slice it and then return to the oven covered in coconut milk. The coconut milk I make while the pork is cooking. It's a simple combination of ginger, green onion, chili peppers and lime juice.
Once again I learned so much from the experience. Most of what I learned was about transporting hot food. Not so easy by the way. In the end all was well. With good food our bodies were fed and by the word of God our spirit nurished as well.
