Recipe Story

my husbands nanna says she got this out of a recipes book in the 80`s and bless her she still has the original little recipe book in her kitchen drawer, although it is a bit sticky and battered, ive never been a fan of asian food, but she offered to cook this when we was down at her house last, and as you do, you say that will be nice , thankyou, whilst secretly dreading the time when its put in front of you LOL
i was suprised that when i tried it, it was actually really nice and not at all like i thought it would be, what makes this recipe even more special is that it was grandads favourite thing to eat, and he passed away last month, so everytime the family eats this, it will conjure up happy memories for years to come

Servings:

2

Level of difficulty:

Ingredients


2 tbsp sweet sherry (QC)
2 chicken breasts (small diced)
2tbsp olive oil (not extra virgin)
2 large onions (thinly sliced)
1 green pepper (deseeded,thinly sliced)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 small tin pineapple chunks
2 tomatoes (cut into 8)
1 and half cup of brown rice

Method


in a dish put in the sugar,cornflour,vinegar,soy sauce, sherry,and pineapple juice and stir for a couple of mins, set aside and put on the rice to cook in a large pan, this will be cooked at the same time as the rest of the dish.
in a large open pan/wok put in the chicken and cook until slightly browned, set aside once cooked, put into the pan the onions,cook until slightly transluscent,then add the peppers,tomatoes,pineapple and cook until softened slightly, put the chicken back into the pan and add the sauce mix you just set aside, this should only need 3 or 4 mins to thicken up and for your rice to be cooked. serve it as u like it, either both togethor on the same plate or in seperate bowls the choice is yours.
