After stealing recipes from The Kitchen King[^], most enjoyably the gulyas[^] (and do garnish with the cream as suggested!), I've now tried tasted a recipe as suggested[^] by MunchiessMatt.
First, it looked cool and relaxed when it was made; there's not a lot of stirring going on once it is in the pot. If you're Dutch and looking for the galangal, you can order it online here[^]. Kaffir leaves can be ordered here[^]. There's some safety-warnings in the video that Matt linked to, be sure to heed them.
It was delicious. We had some Turkish bread as a side instead of rice, which was great to mop up all those juices 
If you haven't tried the drowned chicken or the gulyas then be sure to give it a try on a slow sunday. Getting the herbs is the hardest part, but I'm pretty sure I'll be making this again. If anyone else has a recipe to share, I'll try them all. At least those containing ingredients that can be legally obtained

Why did the chicken cross the road ?
To get drowned.
Chicken life sucks.
I'd rather be phishing!

Chicken life is without natural predators, in a relative safe environment. The only thing chickens need fear, are vegans

My favourite dish is swedish lamb - Google Search[^], not sure which variation is best as the wife has been making it for decades from a recipe she snaffled from somewhere.

Cool, and thanks; cooking lamb with coffee is not something that I heard before, so definitely going to try it

With anchovies, garlic and rosmary?
THats a classic french version, but there are a lot of different recipes for sweedish lamb, so which is genuine!

The one my wife cooks, don't give a rat's which is genuine.

You cant even tell whats in it?

Oh I know precisely what goes into it, what I don't know is if it is the "genuine" recipe. And no there are no anchovies!

Well, it is actually 'underwater' chicken, because a pan of cold water is put on top of the cooking pan, to condense the juices back in.
But yeah, those juices, they are something to behold!
Did the kitchen have almost no smell when it was cooking? That ius what I found. All the flavour was staying in the pot, resulting in an incredible flavour profile.
I got my recipe off hotthaikitchen, if you want thai food, I can recommend it, it has a lot of recipes.

Yup, almost no smells, until you lift the pot and this waft of smells greets you

It's good to vary, and it is nice to have something completely different now and then. For normal meals, I'll try to use local materials. Also because it is half the price of stuff that is brought from afar

But those mail order herbs and spices do last a long time I find, even using them in reasonable quantity.
The only one I have really ripped through, because it is so damn versatile, is Thai sweet basil. I use it in a lot of Indian recipes too, like vadas and bhajis.

You cook a lot of thai then?

With indian food I think of curries and rice, not fried food - but those were inviting pictures

Of late, as in the last 6 months, been eating pretty much 100% Thai/Indian food.

Pure for taste, or other reasons?

It is staggeringly healthy, and incredibly tasty. SO tasty it leaves you feeling full, even though you arent always.
I dont eat breads, admittedly, or noodles, or white rice mind you, to keep it low GI.
But the spices too, one reads every day that turmeric is good, garlic and onions, chillies.
The meat is either chicken or fish, so zero fat pretty much. And I generally use plain oil for frying.
If I need something like flour there is chick pea flour, good source of protein, and brown rice flour. Again low GI.
It is also a high fiber diet, loads of veg, salads, etc.
It is good all over, and damn tasty. WHat more can you want!

That would be preferable for most people, but I'm currently avoiding those a bit to keep it easier to digest.

I need to gain weight, so I often do eggs and bacon. Or fries with satay-sauce and fried unions

If you have a pressure cooker, give this recipe a try: Colombian Chicken Soup[^]. The recipe is super simple, takes less than ten minutes to prepare, and it tastes wonderful. I have found that using only the dark meat gives a much deeper flavor profile.

Thanks for the link
I don't have a pressure-cooker yet, but I'm sure I can borrow one. What's even better is that most of the pressure-cooker recipes work great in my slowcooker.
Hadn't heard about beefsteak tomato's before. I imagine it will taste a bit different than my cheap tomato-paste.

We picked up a programmable pressure cooker from Instant Pot. We are liking it so far, especially since it can replace the oven for several things, such as baked potatoes, which is awesome considering summer temps around here have been in the high 90's F.

For this recipe, we used the regular tomatoes from the market and it was still quite good.

When managers use that language, it's called buzzword bingo.
When developers do the same, it's secret code for "RUN!!!!!!!!!!!"
