Bibliography
Ingó contributed a recipe to the 2011 cookery book Uppáhaldsrétturinn minn ('my favourite recipe').[4] Translated into English, the recipe reads:
Chicken in mango chutneyMy mum taught me to make this dish in a hurry on the phone and today it's the only dish I know how to cook. Or the only one which contains more than 5 raw ingredients anyway. Ideal for anyone taking their first steps at the cooker.
Ingredients:
For 2-3
- 1 chicken, whole (I buy it ready-cooked)
- 3dl rice
- 1 loaf garlic bread (from Myllan)
- ½ jar mango chutney
- 1 tsp deluxe curry powder from Pottagaldrar
- 250ml cooking cream
- 1 lemon
Instructions
1. Boil the mango chutney, curry powder and cream together in a pot and season with salt and pepper.
2. Boil the rice well but not too much
3. Heat the bread in an oven and at the same time set to 4 on the cooker and proceed.
4. Tear the meat from the chicken (also possible to have it in pieces) and pour the sauce over it.
This dish is excellent with redcurrant jelly.
