This delicious recipe was sent to us by our dear friend and artist, Madonna Barraclough.
Chicken Everest
(with a few of my variations on Ms Solomon’s recipe, from The Complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon,1976)
Ingredients
1.5kg organic roasting chicken
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 teaspoons root ginger finely chopped
1 heaped tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
half teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garam masala
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons ground brown rice (a coffee grinder is good)
little warm water
2 tablespoons finely chopped spring onions
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
Method (Love how quickly you can make this dish)
Thoroughly wash and dry chicken. Combine all other ingredients with enough warm water to make a paste. Spread paste over inside and outside of chicken and leave for 1 hour. Roast in preheated oven 180 degrees Celsius for 1 and 1/4 hours, or until chicken is done.
Touching a ripple (from the Bulimba Creek series), 2009
This beautiful image is of one of Madonna’s artworks. The land art photograph manipulates time and context to emphasise the connection between a studio painting and its inspiration – the young human hand at Bulimba Creek. Madonna’s work includes original paintings, mixed media and ephemeral land art works.
