Glorious Spices
I found a very inspiring recipe for Potato Curry in Mangos and Curry Leaves. There were some elements of it that I wasn’t crazy about (the smell of turmeric kind of makes me shudder) and some things I just didn’t have on hand (black mustard seed? I can find that where?). However, I did follow a great deal of it, and the meal turned out amazing.
Rubbing Steak with an Herb Paste
Tis the season for grilling - and we just treated ourselves to a new compact charcoal grill. Which of course - calls for steak. For this particular dish, we used some fresh herbs from our garden - basil and thyme - and some finely chopped garlic. I made a paste of this with some salt and pepper and a bit of olive oil. (Side note: If I haven’t said it before, I’ll say it now - always, always, always freshly ground pepper and freshly ground salt. Trader Joe’s sells both for a ridiculously cheap price and the flavor is far superior. It’s a simple pleasure.) Read more…
