| 15 January 2013 ,07:08 More recipes I've cooked recently | |
As I
mentioned before I've been cooking a lot over the last few weeks and I've enjoyed
trying out some new recipes. Below is a photo of the tart I mentioned in that
previous blog post. It was quite delicious and I ended up making the tart three times, to
take to picnics and people's houses. ![]() I also re-found this recipe for a Tomato, Walnut
and Pomegranate Molasses Salad. I made this a few times two years ago, when I
first saw the recipe. However I then forgot about it over the following winter, when
there were no decent (and affordable) tomatoes available. It is an unusual salad, but
quite outstanding. Make sure you keep any leftovers, as they are delicious
tossed through pasta the next day. Having a barbecue one Sunday
I made up a large batch of these tandoori
kebabs, from K.O. Rasoi. The marinade is good. I mean really, really
good. We had paneer, tofu and mushroom kebabs, I left out the cassava, served with rice,
natural yoghurt, lime pickle, a green salad and a whole lot of barbecue vegetables. The
meal was a great hit and the marinade was so good I'm planning on making and freezing a
batch for future use. Did you cook anything interesting over the holidays? |

delicious and intensely tomato-y |
