It
might be Spring but with the way the weather has been around here, it
seldom feels like it, so this month's Sweet Heat challenge was
perfect for transporting us to warmer, exotic climates and the
beautiful aromatic tastes of Thailand. So whether you have a passport
or not, with this collection of recipes you could quite easily be
basking on the white beaches of Thailand, sipping coconut water and
savouring the regional delights.
To
whet our appetites and get things going, Nicola from 41 Feasts kept
her other half (and us!) extremely happy with her Thai Spiced Prawns.
Next
up and Corina from Searching for Spice recreated one of her favourite
restaurant starters and made a fantastic Thai Spiced Beef Salad
packed with chilli, lime and coriander for that perfect Thai salad.
My entry for this month's challenge was one of my favourite starters for a Thai feast – Thai Fishcakes with Cucumber Dipping Sauce.
And
you can't have a Thai challenge without a Thai curry appearing so I
was delighted to see this beautiful Thai Green Curry from Tango Like Raindrop who was able to finally put her green curry paste to good
use.
Another
mouth watering and finger licking chicken recipe came courtesy of
newcomer and the very lovely Dom of Belleau Kitchen fame who whisked us
away to the exotic climates of Thailand with his one-pot Roasted ThaiChicken Thighs.
I was
also delighted to welcome another newcomer, Jen from Juanita'sCocina, to the Sweet Heat party with her absolutely fantastic looking
and super Spicy Thai Noodles....they definitely pack a spicy punch!
And
finally Laura from Credit Munched ends this Thai feast with a
deliciously light and aromatic Thai soup packed with Thai chillies,
ginger and lime.
As
always thank you so much to everyone that took part this month and
check out tomorrow's post for the next challenge which is being
hosted by the lovely Emma over at Souperior. As always it's going to
be spicy!! Happy Cooking : )
