Today is my mothers 26th (51st) birthday and as a little treat for her I've decided to make fajitas for tea. I didn't already know a fajita recipe, but alas the internet helped me out big time. Not only the internet, Jamie Oliver. HERE'S the recipe I'm using, very simple. Hopefully, very nice. I decided to put my own spin on the salsa though. I figured telly chefs look like they have fun so I might as well dabble in the unknown and attempt to master what is essentially just chopped tomato and then a whole host of other potential ingredients. What could go wrong? Well so far, nothing at all. And I'm not even being a smart arse, I was tempted to write this earlier and to have gone "What could go wrong? Well so far, nothing at all. But that's because I haven't started". But alas I have started, I'm just warming the salsa. WARMING THE SALSA?!?! I hear you gasp in shock. THE RECIPE YOU LINKED US TO DOESN'T TELL YOU TO WARM THE SALSA. Well that's where I used my own intuition. I saw the finished product as Jamie intended and thought to myself "Well, what do you know about cooking Jamie Oliver?". I added in a bit of mint and salt to lift the flavour a touch and then bunged it all in a frying pan to reduce the amount of liquid and intensify the flavour. Also I wanted to soften the texture a touch, so it all blended into one orgasmic mess in your mouth. Beautiful imagery. So I took on Jamie Oliver at his own game, how did I do?
Well I tweet later and let you know what Mumma P thinks, but expect me to win by a landslide.
