Piri Piri Chicken

Serves 4

Ingredients:

* 4 Chicken breasts of 150 gram each

* 1 Spoon paprika powder

* 1 Spoon smoked paprika powder

* 1 Spoon onion powder

* 1 Spoon garlic powder

* 1 Spoon ginger powder

* 1 Spoon cardamom powder

* 1 Spoon oregano

* 1 Spoon salt

* 1/2 Spoon piri piri chili, or cayenne powder

* Olive oil 

* Optional: Lime or lemon juice

Preparation:

Mix all the herbs in a bowl and put in a jar for future use.
Take the chicken breast and cover with the piri piri herbs, olive oil, and optionally some lime or lemon juice. Put in the grill for 20-30 minutes, turning them halfway.

I served it with a summerish salad consisting of:

* Corn
* Cucumber

* Cherry tomatoes

* Kidney beans

* Spring onion

* Sweet pointy paprika 

* Mango

Eating it with fries is also an option, but rice goes well too.

Enjoy your meal!

Mongolian Beef

Serves 3 - 4

Ingredients:

* 500g tender beef ( I used rump steak )
* Salt
* Pepper
* Cornstarch
* 1/4 Cup light brown castor sugar
* 1/4 Cup soy sauce
* 3 Garlic cloves
* 2 Table spoons sweet chili sauce
* 1 Teaspoon ginger powder
* Spring onion

Preparation:

Cut the beef in thin slices, I did this when it was still half frozen for the better result.
Now mix the beef with cornstarch, salt and pepper, set aside.

Chop the garlic in small pieces.
Mix the rest ingredients of the sauce, including 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in a measuring cup, or bowl.

Now heat oil in a skillet and add the beef slices. Cook 1 minute on side. Work in batches.
Once the last batch is finished, add the rest of the beef and the sauce. Mix well and let it simmer until the sauce thickens. Decorate with the spring onion.

I served with boiled rice and steamed broccoli, but feel free to change to whatever you like.

Enjoy your meal.
