      Bang Bang Salmon

      TEAM CHINA – Recipe by @granny_aye

      • 2 Rastelli's Faroe Islands Salmon Filets 
      • Olive oil
      • 1 tablespoon chili powder
      • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
      • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
      • 2 spoons mayo
      • 1 spoon chili sauce or chili paste
      • Rice
      • Vegetables of your choice (cucumber slices and avocado are my favorite)

       

      1. Set the oven to broil at 500°F. Pat dry the salmon fillets and cut them into small cubes. Sprinkle the olive oil, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme on the salmon, and gently rub the oil and spices on the salmon. Make sure all sides of the salmon cubes are coated with the spices. Place them on a lined baking sheet and broil them for 6-8 minutes.
      2. To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients in a small bowl. If your choice of chili sauce or chili paste is on the thicker side, add a splash of water and mix well.
      3. Add the rice, vegetables of your choice, and Bang Bang salmon cubes in a bowl, and then drizzle the sauce on top. Enjoy!

           

           

          Bangers + Mash

          TEAM IRELAND – Recipe by @shotsbysamdougie

           

          1. Heat oil in a large skillet / fry pan over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook, turning, until browned as much as possible all over and cooked through. Remove sausages onto a plate. Turn heat down to medium.
          2. You need around 2 tbsp oil left in the skillet. If you have much less, add a bit of butter or oil. Add onion and garlic, cook until golden brown – around 4 minutes.
          3. Add flour and mix through. Then cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add about 3/4 cup of beef broth and mix into the onion so it becomes a sludge. Then add the remaining beef broth and mix until combined.
          4. Simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until the gravy thickens. Add salt and pepper. Serve sausages with plenty of gravy and mashed potatoes.

             

             

            CURRY CHICKEN

            TEAM JAMAICA – Recipe by @islandboyjerkstop1

             

            1. Cut Chicken Breast into bite size pieces. Wash Chicken with vinegar. Rinse and Dry. Place onion, thyme, scallions, scotch bonnet, garlic, pimento, salt and black pepper in bowl with chicken and stir. Make sure to use your hands, this allows for the seasoning to get deep in the chicken.
            2. Let sit and marinate for 2-4 hours. Heat a pot with vegetable oil on high. Place marinated chicken in pot and cover for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, remove cover and stir. You should start seeing the color change on the chicken. Cover and stir after 2 minutes of ensuring the meat is not sticking.
            3. After 10 minutes, turn heat to medium. Add potatoes, butter and enough hot water to barely cover the meat. After 10 minutes, stir and turn heat to low. Add salt to taste. When potatoes have become soft and broken down, turn off fire.
            4. Serve hot with rice. Add scotch bonnet sauce for added spice. Enjoy!

               

               

              Goulash

              TEAM GERMANY – Recipe by @kookingbutwitha_k

              1. Over medium high heat, with butter + olive oil, saute an onion + minced garlic. Cube your sirloin steaks and in a large freezer bag, cover your cubed steak with cornstarch. Once the onions are translucent, sautee your steak in the onion mixture. Add salt and pepper.
              2. Once the steaks are mostly cooked through, take out and put on a side plate. Deglaze your pan with white wine. Once your sauce starts to thicken, add in beef broth. Let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes then add your cooked steak back in. Add the carrots and more onion. Pour in a thickener (I use a beef broth + corn starch mix).
              3. Let the Goulash simmer and thicken for about 2 hours. Serve Goulash hot over or mixed in with your egg noodles. Enjoy!
