rooibos is proudly south african and is directly translated from Afrikaans as "red bush". the smell is intoxicating and addictive even though we all know it is caffeine free :) this morning i missed my early wake up cuppa cos i slept in. after gym last night and a long day of studying and winter school class i was buggered and just crashed as soon as i got home at 21:00. 16:00 will come though and my afternoon cuppa will be just as refreshing, if not more. especially since i cooked comfort food today instead of healthy. it is chilly and dull with just a glimpse of sunshine peaking through the clouds today, covering the occasional tree with brightness. its windy and all i wanted was comfort food. and if you have been following this blog you would know what i made.... pasta!
the recipe today was kind of different as i fused eastern and western elements. i marinated the thinly sliced chicken breast in my favourite marinade (i will dedicate a full post to that marinade and all its tasty goodness) and sauted them quickly so it retained all its juiciness. finished off with fresh dhania (coriander). maybe i will put up this recipe, it is a lot to type and a little time consuming but all so worth the comforting deliciousness that it will bring you.
for now, lets all just revel in the perfection that is rooibos tea :)
