Is there ever a Friday night that you just don't want to cook? A night when take out is the usual solution? As usual, busy, busy Friday after a busy, busy week at mine, and yes, I almost succumbed, but I had some chicken in the fridge, it needed to be eaten, and well….frankly I just couldn't face the idea of what it would A) cost for take out, and B) taste like when I actually got it home….so armed with a chili, Thermomix and a paper clip (just checking if you are really reading this stuff!) I got to it and made a delicious version of something you may find at your local takeaway, but OH. SO. MUCH. nicer….(Oh and I have Thai Basil growing in my garden...it’s a no brainer really.)
