Looks delicious! I grew up in Thailand and these flavors are all very authentic.
Thank you … it was surprisingly good! I’ve made this a few times now.
Love your grilled chicken with all the herbs. It appears we are on a similar wavelength today.
Thanks Karen. I love using all my garden herbs … I’m going to miss summer!
Always good to have another recipe
For using up mint and basil. There’s so much in the garden right now!
I know .. I have a lot in my garden as well. But I will miss them when winter comes!
