Thai slow roast ribs with spicy Isarn ‘Jaew’ dipping sauce

The final of my Thai themed recipes that I wrote about for Farmison in April is an Isarn (Northeastern Thailand) pork speciality. We had this dish twice while travelling and I’d never tasted pork quite like it – a compellingly juicy, smoky grilled pork neck fillet, much like char siu, but served with a spicy and tangy dipping sauce called jaew. I couldn’t find any neck fillet so replaced it with slow roasted ribs for this version.

Next month I’ll be cooking some seasonal British recipes with my favoured Asian twist for Farmison. What do you think I should cook?

Thai red duck curry

The next in my Thai themed recipes for Farmison is a Thai red duck curry. Although it’s apparently one of the most popular Thai dishes outside of its native country, I had never tasted it until our Thai adventure. What I loved about the version I tried was that it had pineapple and lychees alongside aubergine and red peppers. A lovely fruity curry base to go with the rich duck.

Thai jungle chicken skewers

My next Thai themed guest recipe for Farmison is inspired by a lunch that was cooked for us when we went on a trek in the Khao Sok National Park. That lunch consisted of succulent pork chunks on bamboo skewers, slow roasted over a fire by our guide. I tried to remember the guide’s seasoning recipe and replicated it for these ‘jungle’ style chicken skewers. Sadly when cooking I had no open fire, but a Sainsbury’s disposable BBQ had to do.

Thai piquant grapefruit and prawn salad

Spring is almost happening in Britain, so I’ve been inspired to create a healthy and refreshing salad for my next Thai-themed guest post on farmison.com.

I first ate this dish one our first night in Thailand in a restaurant called Ruen Urai. The traditional recipe calls for pomelo, a sweeter and less ascerbic version of grapefruit. However as they’re rather expensive and hard to find in the UK, I’ve substituted it with a super sweet ruby red grapefruit that works just as well. Let me know if you try this recipe out!

Thai spicy ‘Laab Moo’ pork salad

My next Thai themed guest recipe on Farmison is now available. It’s a popular dish from the Isarn region in North East Thailand called ‘Laab Moo’ and is so hot it generally ranges from mouthwatering-ly spicy to ear-ringing-ly searing .
