~Cook up with donna hay magazine......Sticky Ginger Marmalade Chicken



Another delicious Cook Up has happened from donna hay magazine Issue 88 Aug/Sep 2016
These are really getting really too far between now but I'm determined to catch up!!!

Menu -  Sticky Ginger Marmalade Chicken Stir Fry
accompanied by Zucchini and a Cucumber Salad with aThai Dressing
 Chocolate and Maple Banana Cake


First up  I started the Dessert Cake preparation 
I even made my own Dulce De Leche instead of purchasing it but come to think of it I have never seen it available in our small coastal town

Recipe for Homemade Dulce De Leche by Donna Hay available here and also above blog in Pages



Condensed Milk ready to go into oven covered by foil and in a Water Bath
I don't think I left mine in long enough due to the paler colour and thickness of it compared to  Donna's but in any case it was still delicious
Also a bit hard to check as it was covered by baking paper, foil and string


As you can see Donna's version is really dark and quite thick
The Dulce De Leche is sitting atop Chocolate Ganache


My version all bottled and ready to use whenever called for


To our surprise we have successfully grown Ginger so this was used for garnishing the meal





All accompanied by Zucchini


and a Cucumber Salad with a Thai Dressing (home made) just to give it that little edge



I used Home Made Marmalade from my local Farmer's Market and boy was this so different to a commercial marmalade........the Citrus flavour was strong and I really enjoy that!!!


Above and below.......just a few versions of my Cake





And the best part........it's all Gluten Free!!!

Bon Appetit and have a great weekend......Dzintra
