Fresh Coconut Rice Pudding!!!

Rice puddings are a very common dessert in India. My mom would cook us Indian rice pudding regularly with spices and toasted nuts. This is a take on the original rice pudding. This time I used fresh grated coconut with pistachios and cardamom. I toasted the some fresh sliced coconut for the topping and it is a mouthful of deliciousness!!!

Enjoy!!!

Grilled Blueberry 🫐 Thyme 🌿and Brie Sandwich anyone!!!

I don’t know about you but I never say no to a sandwich, especially when it’s grilled, ooey and goey and full of cheese.

It’s a delicious sweet & salty. Sweet, fresh juicy blueberries simmered until thickened and lots of cheese are sandwiched between two slices of sourdough bread. The sandwiches are cooked in a hot skillet until melty and golden!

Yum!!!

Spicy Stuffed Tomatoes 🍅

It’s suppose to be a summer dish but there tomatoes were just too beautiful to resist.

This Moroccan dish is simple light and full of flavor yet substantial enough to be served as a vegetarian dinner party dish.
It’s gluten free. Instead of rice I used cooked buckwheat groats.
you simply slice off the tops and scoop out the core, leaving you ample space in the tomato’s cavity for the pistachio apricot stuffing.

For the stuffing-
Sauté onions, garlic, and chopped mushrooms a few minutes, then take it out in a bowl and keep it aside. Add cooked buckwheat. Then add cup full of chopped nuts, like pistachios, almonds apricots. Add raisins, salt, pepper, chili peppers, and fresh mint then add all the tomatoes you scooped out chop it up and add it to the mixture. Fill the tomatoes with this mixture and bake it at 375 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

enjoy with a side of salad or some roast potatoes.

Slow Cooked steamed Water Eggs!!

Smooth, slippery and heavenly soft, Chinese steamed eggs requires minimum ingredients and yet it’s so delicate and full of flavor.

If you have never tried then you will absolutely love this.
Also there are lot of benefits of slow cooking which we don’t talk about it often.

It’s anti inflammatory, anti aging and lowers the risk of chronic diseases.

So back to how to steam and make water eggs. The ratio is 2:1 water and eggs.

2 eggs - beaten
Warm water - double volume of the beaten eggs
1 pinch salt
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp chili oil
Few steamed asparagus.

You can use any toppings you like.

Pour warm water into the beaten eggs. Add salt then stir well.
Through a sieve, pour the mixture into 2 small serving bowls.
Cover the bowls with cling film. Pierce to allow the steam to escape.
Steam for 10-12 minutes over a gentle heat (place the bowls in when the water starts to boil).

Then I added sesame oil and chill oil. Placed my steamed asparagus.

Enjoy!!

It was a nice little break from Insta and now I am back!!

Shiitake Mushroom Banh Mi!!

This Vietnamese-inspired sandwich is so flavorful and delicious. It is stuffed with sweet and spicy mushrooms, pickled carrots and radish, fresh cilantro, jalapeños and cucumber. It’s loaded with different textures, fresh, spicy and easy to make.

I sautéed mushrooms for 5-7 minutes till they were nicely caramelized. Then added the sauce- soy sauce, five spice, sugar, garlic, chili pepper and chopped shallots.

Made homemade carrot and radish pickle with vinegar and sugar.

Then you simply assemble. Toast the baguette, drizzle mayo and sriracha on each side. Add mushrooms, pickled carrots, sliced cucumber, cilantro and jalapeños. Drizzle some more sriracha.

Enjoy!!!

Just like that it’s a Fall🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁Season.

This is Honeynut Squash stuffed with couscous, garbanzo beans, cranberries, cashews and raisins to start the Fall season right.

Did you know there are 21 types of squash in the market, so next time pick up something different other than butternut squash or zucchini.

You really don’t need a recipe for any winter squash, just a few basic steps and work with the ingredients you have in the pantry.

Simply cut the squash in half, clean it and then add olive oil, S&P and paprika. Bake for 35 minutes at 385 degree oven. In the meantime work on the stuffing.
I saute onions and garlic for few minutes. Made couscous in a separate pan. Then I added couscous, sautéed onions, garbanzo beans, fresh dill, cranberries, raisins, cashews, hazelnuts, feta cheese, S&P, olive oil and red pepper. Mix well. Stuff the squash and bake for another 15 minutes.

You can serve this with side of salad.

Enjoy!!
