今日は、太陽が出て結構良いお天気でした。最低気温１０度、最高気温１９度。やや寒い感じです。
It was quite sunny today. Highest temperature was 19C, the lowest 10C, so it felt on the chilly side.
今日の夕食は、Hello Fresh の「Tandoori Hasselback Chicken with Turmeric Rice, Green Beans and Red Chilli Yoghurt （ハッセルバックチキンのタンドーリ、インゲン入りターメリックライス、赤唐辛子入りヨーグルト添え）でした。昨日書いたように、今週のHello Fresh の食事は選ぶつもりではなかったものが入っていますが、これは選んだものでした。
Today’s dinner was “Tandoori Hasselback Chicken (with Turmeric Rice, Green Beans and Red Chilli Yoghurt)” from Hello Fresh. Like I wrote yesterday, there are a couple of dishes that we didn’t mean to choose this time but this was one of the meals we did choose.
チキンはタンドーリスパイスミックスとターメリックをヨーグルトに混ぜたものをからめて、オーブンのグリルで焼きます。片面５分、もう片面２分とありますがそれでは生焼けだったので、多分全部で分厚い方のチキンは１２、３分焼いたと思います。この頃ずっとそうなのですが、チキンの胸肉が材料にあるとき、１つは大きくてもう１つはその半分くらいの大きさで、今回もそうでした。小さな方は当然早く火が通りました。
Tandoori chicken was grilled in the oven after having been coated with a mixture of yoghurt, Tandoori spice mix and turmeric. The recipe says grill for 5 minutes once side then 2 minutes the other side but they were not cooked through, so I think we grilled for 12 or 13 minutes altogether. Recently whenever we have chicken breast in the ingredients one comes in a very large size and the other only about a half of the size and this was the case today, so the smaller one was cooked in about 10 minutes, I think.
ライスはインゲンを４、５分炒めたらニンニクを足してさらに分、そこにターメリックとお塩を入れて炊いたバズマティ米を加えて炒めてお塩、最後にシャンツァイと赤いフレッシュのチリを加えます。
The rice was cooked with turmeric and salt (I cooked in my way, not in their way), then stir-fried with green beans then flavoured with salt, coriander leaves and fresh red chilli.
ソースはヨーグルトにシャンツァイと赤いフレッシュのチリを加えたものですが、わたしたちは少しレモン汁も加えました。
The sauce was a mixture of yoghurt with coriander leaves and fresh red chilli, we added lemon juice as well.
わたしは小さな方のチキン、夫はその倍近い大きなチキン。チキンもご飯もなかなか美味しかったです。ご飯の量が多いと思いましたが、難なく完食。
I had the smaller chicken, my husband the larger one. Both the chicken and the rice were very tasty. We thought the rice was going to be too much but we actually didn’t have any problem finishing it.
レシピではチリの種は抜くとありましたがわたしたちは抜かずに使いました。ちょうど良い辛さ加減で美味しかったのですが、食べたあと口の中が少しヒリヒリしていたので甘いもので抑えることに。先日ジャパンセンターのオーダーで買った白玉抹茶。コンビニで買うようなものを想像していたらあまり美味しくなくて残念でしたが（特に白玉）、ヒリヒリは治りました。
In the recipe it instructed you to get rid of the seeds of the red chilli but we used all of them and it was just the right amount of heat for us. However, after eating, we felt our mouths were a little tingly from the chilli so we had something to calm them down with Japanese sweets that I ordered from the Japan Centre online shop. I was expecting it to be like what we get in a convenience store in Japan, but it wasn’t that level and not that great, specially the dumplings were really not enjoyable. Still at least they did calm down our tongues.
