I decided to go with something Thai for Easter Sunday. Well why? My Aunt Anne has these wonderful Chinese Oranges in her garden, that I just had to convince her to give me a few. She loves seeing these beauties on her tree so I am immensely thankful to her for letting me take a few of them to experiment in this new recipe creation of mine. Her friends have made marmalade out of these beauties as well.
These oranges go well with South East Asian recipes and with chicken or fish. So this recipe creation was truly just a trial but has turned out fabulously delicious (I just love when that happens...its my Eureka moment! :-D ). I plan to make some Thai Rice tomorrow to go with the Thai Chicken. I have not decided yet but will share the recipe after I try it out.
