Real Fast Food: 350 Recipes Ready-to-Eat in 30 Minutes
By Nigel Slater
Overlook Hardcover - 1996
We both liked this. I cooked the slices under the broiler. Was surprised that the cracked coriander actually stuck to the slices when I turned them. Squeezed on a bit more lemon juice than asked (with the basil and salt) at the end, which was a good idea I think.

Fragrant Brown Basmati Rice : page 203
- The recipe says it serves 4 as a side. I made a half recipe for 2 and we found it still too much. Think you'd get 6 servings from a whole recipe.
- The recipe has you fry whole spices till fragrant, along with ground turmeric. My turmeric was burnt before the whole spices were nicely fragrant. I dumped out the pan and wiped it out with a paper towel then started again, stirring the turmeric in when the rice was added later. The resulting dish was a bit oddly flavored. I'm not sure if there was still a residue from the burnt turmeric or if the turmeric missed being fried a bit. Will see how it goes another time.

Lamb Sirloin Chops with Yogurt and Mint : page 240
Lamb chops (or chunks of lamb), slathered with a spicy Indian-ish yogurt sauce and grilled under the broiler. Very tasty.
I let the chops marinate for about half an hour before broiling.
Seemed to take a bit longer than suggested to get done.
No matter, they were good.

Spiced Chicken with Brown Butter : page 218
We liked this. Stuffed some of the butter mixture under the skin of my thighs. Roasted in the oven at a highish temperature, since the broiler was otherwise occupied. Didn't baste as it went, only when I turned over the thighs. Skin wasn't crispy, but the chickie was good.
