Simple Roasted Carrots
Some things are best left alone, or very close to left alone. I see carrots as one of those things. My mom taught me how to roast root vegetables long ago and there really isn't one thing to improve upon. These carrots are delicious, sweet, and so simple to prepare.
Curry Carrot Chips
I was trying to find something else to do with carrots and while a little labor intensive is really tasty!
Carrot Puree
I made the carrot puree as a side dish for grilled flat iron steak.
Breakfast reform
Thanks to Jessica Tom I have just tried cooking teff to make her wonderful pudding recipe (really great, btw). At the market I had found both teff flour and teff grain. Going with teff grain (right choice), I was then struck by how really tiny these grains are. I was also a little suspicious that they would taste...well, you know, good for you, but really not that good. But, the flavor and texture both deliver....and I mean good for you and really good tasting! I think I have just made a new best friend!
Carrot Mash
This easy side dish is simply delicious! The maple syrup and vanilla soymilk really highlight the natural sweetness of the carrots. If you do not want to use the soymilk, substitute regular milk.
Spicy Cumin Roasted Carrots
A simple side dish that goes wonderfully with braises. You can also puree it after roasting...it makes a great mash or dip.
Cilantro Pesto
Learn how to make fresh cilantro pesto using cilantro, lemon juice, pine nuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. Make it in a food processor.
Cinnamon Amaretto Syrup
This cinnamon amaretto syrup recipe is one of the first that I made. It's sweet and makes you feel warm inside. It's great over waffles on cold winter days!
Cardamon Cous Cous Pudding
I make this pudding for the farmers market in Stockton New Jersey all the time
Cardamom Sugar
I love making flavored sugars and Cardamom Sugar is one of my favorite recipes. I use it in everything from sweetening my coffee to stirring into pancake mixes.
Blood Orange, Tangerine and Cardamom Granita
It is the addition of cardamom that transforms this simple citrus granita to a lush dessert with complexity & depth of flavor. Try this Tangerine Granita recipe!
Cardamom Coffee Concentrate
A trip to Denmark in the mid '90's prompted a love of all Nordic things: amber, clogs (they even sold them in some of the supermarkets there), and food. Upon returning home, I churned out traditional remoulade, copied pastries I had eaten, and made renditions of my friend Simon's mother's recipes. Hearing of friends' travels to Finland hastened another recipe frenzy which included a Christmas where only cardamom scented pulla yeast braids were given as a present. For this challenge out of the box thinking was in order. I had about two cups of leftover strong coffee lurking in the fridge and some cardamom seeds (sans pods) in the cabinet. I had read about Rhode Island coffee milk which is basically strong sugared triple brewed coffee concentrate (a few tablespoons) stirred into cold milk, like chocolate milk. As soon as it heated up on my stove with sweet musky cardamom coffee whiffs coming into the next room I couldn't help myself but to sip it undiluted from a spoon. Enjoy it in cold milk or added to ice cream. I am thinking of pouring it over a freshly baked banana bread also.
Eggs with Chervil, Feta & Heirloom Tomatoes
Fresh Fava Beans with Pancetta and Mint
I think the basis of this probably comes from Marcella Hazan, but I make it so often I don't really remember where the original basis was. I can get young, de-podded fava, so for me, this is quick and easy. However, it's so delicious that I'd be worth shucking all those beans if I couldn't. If you get fava that are young enough (the crease where they attach to the pod hasn't gone brown is usually my rule of thumb) there's no need for the tedious shell removal. The recipe is infinately scaleable. I usually use 3-400 grams (10-15 oz) of de-podded beans, which would equal about 2.5 - 4lbs of favas in the pods.
Eggplant & Tomato Dip
Growing up in Russia, both my parents and grandparents made this simple roasted eggplant and tomato dip. This recipe is easy and delicious!
Garam Masala Yogurt Dip
I'd hardly consider this a recipe, it's so simple and easy. But, it's one of my favorite dips, especially for sweet potato wedges or chips. - fiveandspice
Pesto White Bean Dip
This recipe is really easy to throw together since it relies on pantry staples (aka stuff that fits into a college student's budget). The balsamic vinegar adds a little sweetness without being too overbearing. It's good with pita chips or crudite and also makes a tasty sandwich spread.
Spicy Tuna Dip
This is the most requested dip recipe my family has! It sounds crazy but it is absolutely addicting!
Pink Peppercorn Dressing
My time as a cook inspired this Pink Peppercorn Salad Dressing recipe - we used creme fraiche in our salad dressing, though my version is decidedly simpler.
Star Anise Syrup
I broke up with a fellow after stocking his kitchen with ingredients. He asked what he'd do with a cupboard full of spices - this was my suggestion.
Truffle Scented Chive Dip
Once, when I was outside of San Francisco on a backroad near Napa I had something similar to this truffle scented chive dip recipe at a French Laundry.
Easy Baba Ghanouzh
When I was growing up in Lebanon, there were ALWAYS 2 things you could count on at the dinner table (other than crazy relatives yelling at each other) - hummus and baba ghanouzh. In the old days, Tayta (Grandma in Arabic) would shanghai someone into standing at the stovetop turning eggplants over to char/roast them which inevitably caused even more yelling when things didn't go right. Here's a much easier way to make it
Curry Dip
It's a tad embarrassing to submit this curry dip recipe. It contains only three cheap and accessible ingredients and requires less than five minutes to make.
Red, White and Blue Chipotle Dip
I was trying to figure out what to do with Blue corn chips because I was tired of eating them with just Salsa. I wanted something that was spicy, cool, thick and smokey.
