Laos : Dinner started with a feathery carrot and green papaya salad. The dressing was aromatic and sweet with a fiery undertone . A perfect complement to the buttery Chicken in a Packet. The amazing thing was the actual absense of fat. This has got to be one of the healthiest meals on the planet and guess what ? No dishes, no grease , no frying. Can't beat that!
The Chicken was rubbed with lemongrass, galangal, fish sauce , sweet Basil and scallions, wrapped in aluminum foil ( use Banana leaves if you live in the tropics!) and bake. Simple yet robust, the chicken was to quote my youngest " like creamy chicken noodle soup without the noodles".
This is turning out to be so much fun. I'm off again. Lebanon here I come!
