Imitation of Gordon's recipe on youtube: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y_tcvvStxAs&feature=related
Made a few mistakes here and there. Had too few pistachios in the centre and I skipped masala wine cuz thought it wasn't necessary. Other than that, sherry vinegar was given by a friend so that wasn't too bad.
Maybe because I skipped masala wine,that's why my sauce isn't as brown as Gordon's. Hmmm...
Overall, it was delicious and fun to make once a blue moon!!

Christmas eve dinner
2pm yesterday WL suddenly called me and wanted me to cook christmas dinner. He told me to plan and then go shopping.. :S
Anyway, I decided to try one of Gordon's recipe which is 'crispy' salmon as the starter. Unfortunately the salmon in Marks and spencers had no skin on it. There was no choice as I could not find salmon in tesco. I was lucky enough to find a goose in Tesco which had been reduced from 50 pounds to 27 pounds and it was a really really HUGE goose. Three times the size of the duck.
Anyway, the starter: Sorry that it is burnt at the top cuz I couldn't see what I was cooking..WL never repaired his kitchen stove's lights. So I was really cooking in the dark.
Ai shin and David gave us a christmas present! A cake baking tin by Circulon. Really good baking tin and is life guaranteed non-stick.
A pic of the goose we had for christmas dinner.
Esther was in charge of the goose as I was busy with starters. Unfortunately the goose was a bit too well done.But it is still quite nice with the orange sauce.
Anyway...thanks WL for the meal! Expensive meal...since most of the ingredients was bought in Marks and Spencers being the meal a last minute planning.
