アマンダリでの今日のランチ。わたしは、昨日夫が気に入っていたキヌアサラダにしてみました。メキシコ風の味で美味しい！真似して作って見よう。入っていたのは多分、3種類のキヌア、玉ねぎ、パプリカ、チリ、トウモロコシ、枝豆、小さな豆(ピント豆？)、上にオレンジとカシューナッツとシャンツァイかな？ドレッシングは、ライム汁の甘めのドレッシング。
夫は、チキンシーザーサラダ。
Lunch at Amandari. I hadQuinoa Salad, which my husband loved yesterday. It’s sort of Mexican inspired flavour, I think. Really good. I’ll try to recreate it at home.

A Mexican ragu-style sauce full of gentle spicing and comforting warmthPicadillo is to Mexico what bolognese is to Italy: a homely mince dish. Here, I have used venison, an underused meat that is low in fat and rich in protein and essential minerals. The picadillo is seasoned with the soft flavours of allspice, cinnamon and clove, and uses the sweetness of fruit for balance (the finished ragù is often used to stuff dried chillies).
