Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Saute the garlic and chicken livers in the oil until very darkly coloured. Grind to a thick paste and return to the pan with the remaining ingredients. Simmer, adding water to make a thick sauce, for about 2 mins, stirring constantly. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Use as a dip for various roasted meats and meatballs and to spread over rice paper before wrapping cooked ingredients or salad. A variation to this sauce uses tamarind pulp instead of the livers to give a tart tasting sauce.
