Method:
Flash fry in hot oil. Add red onions, red peppers, carrots, galangal, 1 sachet of Tom Yum Goong and cook for a few minutes. Vegetables should stay firm/crisp. Add tin of coconut cream or milk. Wrap in rice paper.
Mix the sweet plum sauce, Goedgedacht blueberry vinegar dressing, ponzu sauce and soy sauce in equal parts for dipping sauce for the rice paper parcels.
Serve with Jasmine rice.

Alternatives:
For added heat, put some chillies in vinegar and put on top.

This recipe does well with Smoked salmon slivers as well.
Recipe should take 5 minutes to put together with salmon fillets either pre-cooked or with the slivers. I personally prefer the slivers.
An assortment of salad leaves works best including some spicy leaves like rocket.
Ingredients
• 2 x 175g packs of hot-smoked salmon fillet
• 1 crisp red apple, finely sliced
• 6 red radishes, finely sliced
• 1 red onion, finely sliced
• 1 tbsp baby capers
Goedgedacht Lime dressing
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup Goedgedacht lime dressing
• dash of Tabasco sauce
• 2 tbsp dill, roughly chopped
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• pinch freshly ground black pepper
Method
In a large bowl, break up the salmon into big chunky pieces. Add the apple slices, radishes, red onion and capers. Mix together thoroughly.
Prepare the dressing by placing all the ingredients into a blender for a minute or two. Pour over the salmon salad and leave to marinate for up to 10 minutes.
Serve with fresh sourdough bread, or fill a crunchy baguette. Serves 4.

2 nice big purple aubergines cut into large chunks

5 large tomatoes – skinned by putting in boiling water for a few minutes and then chunked.
Get out a cast iron pot. Pour in a couple of glugs of olive oil and heat up. Add the aubergine chunks and oregano. Season with a little salt and toss around so the aubergine is evenly coated with olive oil Cook on high heat for about 4-5 minutes giving pan a shake. You may need to do this in two batches, When aubergines are golden on each side, add the onion, garlic and parsley and continue cooking for another couple of minutes. Add more oil if it looks too dry. Throw in drained capers and olives. Drizzle over the pineapple dressing. When the vinegar has evapoorated, add the chopped (skinned ) tomatoes . 10 minutes cooking then serve. Add more chopped parsley on the top. Goes well with bread and salad or baby potatoes boiled and rolled in olive oil and parsley. Delish.
Can be eaten warm or cold as a side veg or just with potatoes or as antipasto.
Place the lamb chops in a bag with blueberry dressing, marinade, salt and pepper. Squeeze the air out of the bag & allow the meat to marinade. Chops can be pan fried or grilled. Delicious!
Add lime vinegar dressing to your potato salad or potato wedges.
