Great for after-school snacks

This recipe works a treat. We made a batch and dipped into it over 3 weeks ... a small piece of fish crumbled onto rye sourdough bread and topped with some of the onion mix makes a fantastic after-school snack or light lunch. But I thought 200ml of vinegar was too much ... I had to drain off a fair bit of the liquid. So next time I will use less and create a thicker tumeric paste.

Hot Tips

Goose fat and roast potatoes

Rough up the edges of parboiled potatoes by tossing them around the colander (like you would bounce a tennis ball on a racket) this helps create a crunchy exterior. Add them to the roasting dish with a couple of tablespoons of duck or goose fat, rolling in the fat and season generously.

Glossary

Jackfruit

Jackfruit (Mit) is a large, green fruit with a tough, knobbly skin which reveals a yellow segmented flesh when opened. It has a taste that is naturally sweet. In Vietnam, the young jackfruit is used like a vegetable in cooking or in salad.
