Guacamole

Also a first attempt so quantities etc may vary as time goes on.



1 ripe avocado

1/2 tin tomatoes chopped finely

1/2 small onion chopped finely

1 clove of garlic crushed

ground chili

juice of 1 lime



mash or chop very finely the avocado

mix together with all the other ingredients season to taste and serve.



Fresh chili would probably work better in this than dried but I didn't have any at the time. Also, fresh tomatoes can be used instead of tinned I just used them for convenience.

Tramore fried chicken

First attempt, measurements a bit sketchy, turned out nice but needs something else so will post any further attempts.

6 chicken pieces on the bone (I used oyster thighs)
3 tbsp flour
2tsp paprika
2tsp cayenne
ground chili
ground black pepper
salt
vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 180C
mix flour, paprika, cayenne chili salt and pepper in a plastic bag
coat the chicken in the mixture doing one piece at a time and place into roasting dish
pour 1 tbsp of oil over each chicken piece
place in oven for about an hour until crispy baste occasionally but do not turn
