Malaysian Lax

This dish is prepared simply and quickly, and at the same time it has the rich authentic taste.

Recipe by Nigella Lawson. “Kitchen Goddess,” as British newspapers called her, cooks deliberately simple, but this simplicity is not only a calculated marketing ploy (that is said in PR, “check out” from competitors). In this case, it follows the life of PR. Like it or not, but the vast majority of business and professional women and men with good intentions, do not have time for long cooking. Here Nigella Lawson’s recipe comes to aid, which are accurately adjusted over time.

The second important feature of recipes by “kitchen goddess” are the ingredients of the dishes. The British differ unnaturally (in my opinion) with the love for canned food. The British newspapers wrote that Britain consumes canned more than all other European countries combined. Nigella Lawson makes this habit her ally: “Everything that can be without significant loss of quality taken out of a canora package” – should be taken, she encourages.

Follow this wise advice and cook Malaysian Lax. With a prescription from Nigella Lawson lax is cooked very simply, quickly and at the same time has a very authentic and rich flavor.
