Chicken with pineapple sauce
I was partway through cooking this dish when my wife came up and said, 'oh, you're making chicken hamonado.' I was actually whipping something up off the top of my head so, of course, I had to look it up right away. Turns out chicken hamonado is a Filipino recipe for chicken in pineapple sauce. It was a little weird to get this revelation from my wife, who's the non-Filipino in the family. She explained that she knew the dish because the Filipino ladies from her church used to bring it to potlucks. My version deviates quite a bit from the theirs. In fact, it probably owes more to a certain British chef -- I Jamie Oliver'd the dish by adding chili and mint. Delicious.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the fish sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and the lime juice. Add several grinds of freshly cracked black pepper and the chicken thighs. Cover and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.
- 2
Lay the pineapple rings out on a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the juice from the can.
- 3
Put a large nonstick pan on medium heat. Shake the marinade off the chicken thighs and put them in the pan, skin-side down. Let them fry gently for 20 minutes, until the skin is deep brown. Flip the chicken over and let fry for 10 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
- 4
Lay the pineapple rings into the pan. Let fry for 3 to 4 minutes, then gently flip them over. Let fry for 3 to 4 minutes again, then remove them from the pan.
- 5
Add a splash of veg oil to the pan and turn the heat up to medium-high. Once hot, add the garlic, ginger, shallot and chili. Saute for 1 minute, then add the pineapple juice (including the juice from the can). Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce and the palm sugar. Lay the chicken thighs into the sauce, skin-side up. Let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced by two-thirds. Serve with the pineapple slices over rice, with a sprinkle of mint.

Chicken in creamy mustard sauce Chicken in creamy mustard sauce
It's amazing what a little dollop of mustard can do. There's an old saying that mustard's original use in the Middle Ages was to disguise the taste of rotting meat. I don't really believe that, but if that was the case then this powerful little condiment has come a long way. In this dish, a little Dijon elevates a basic cream sauce to something pretty spectacular. So much bang for so little effort. Gotta love it.
