Turkey Koftas and meatballs in tomato-mushroom sauce; Creamed chicken with leeks and steamed barley; The meat dishes for my pre-Valentines Day Menu for delivery today Photos..





Poach the chicken with the legs covered and the breast out of leek, carrot, celery and onion stock so that it steam cooks

Sauteed leeks, onions and garlic in butter and olive oil, add flour to make a roux, then add chicken stock from cooking the chicken, and make a thick sauce, finish with coconut cream

Finish the sauce off with fresh parsley

Allow the chicken to cool in some of the cooking liquor, then remove all skin, bones and any sinews, cut into bite sized pieces and add to the coconut-leek sauce..allow to sit overnight and develop  flavors, it will be served with steamed barley and or whole wheat penne pasta at client's home

Mushroom,tomato, eggplant sauce for the meatballs


Ground turkey, cooked carrots, celery, garlic and onions; dried thyme, basil, before adding seasonings( original recipe this blog Nov 22nd 2013, in place of dry breadcrumbs use the bread and milk mix) and the milk &  bread mix (see below) this makes for a lighter meatball-kofta..the cooked meatballs with cheese & some koftas cooked in  tomato sauce are below photos
