I had this served up in a hotel restaurant in Bangkok.

So flipping simple but so effective, and eye catching on the plate.

If you want to serve up some lettuce or curly Kale type thing.

Take a large Jalapeño pepper, a red one, and cut a piece that is about an inch long. Clear all the seeds out with a sharp knife. Take the lettuce and poke the stalk end in to the chili and hey presto you can now stand up the lettuce on the plate in it’s own little chili flower pot of sorts.

Looks cool right.

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
