Tags

all-purpose flour, cheese filling, egg, Greek-style yogurt, honey, instant yeast, meat filling, olive oil

I’ve been meaning to make pide (in case you’re wondering, it’s pronounced “PEE-day”) for quite some time.  This is street food, at its very best.  And this dough?  It is positively fabulous and wonderful to work with.  I’ve given you a couple of filling options, and then some!  Continue reading →

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

dry falafel mix, fresh herbs, Garlic, Ground beef, Meyer lemon juice, Meyer lemon zest, onion, Spices, sumac, water

This is a marriage made in heaven!  Inspiration is a funny thing…it can come out of nowhere.  It can be overheard.  It can sneak up on you.  Or is can simply be the unfolding of something unexplained…that’s sort what happened here.  Continue reading →

Tags

Asian eggplants, béchamel sauce, dry white wine, feta cheese, fresh mint, Garlic, ground lamb, Italian cheese blend, olive oil, Onions, potato, Spices, toaste walnuts, Tomatoes

I think I’ve mentioned a couple of times (or twenty), that The Goddess has a fondness for eggplant.  The season is in full swing now, so you might imagine that eggplant is finding it’s way into, onto, around, under, etc. her table.  She’s been hasselbacking things recently, and why should eggplant escape her vision?

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in bacon, Gluten Free, Legumes, Onions

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

allspice, bacon, ball park mustard, canned pork and beans, ketchup, Onions, Worcestershire sauce

Floating Islands?  Seriously…what has happened to The Goddess?  Has she been into the Rosé to excess?  Or was she out in the sun too long?  Everyone knows that “floating islands” is a dessert.  Yes.  That’s true.  Normally, it is.  But, as you know there’s nothing normal about The Goddess!  Continue reading →

≈ 4 Comments

Tags

baking soda, brown sugar, dry potato flakes, egg, fish sauce, fresh ginger, fresh herbs, Garlic, Ground pork, lemongrass, milk, Scallions, Shallots, Spices

I’ve had Banh Mi on my mind recently.  At this point, venturing out for a Banh Mi, is foolishly indulgent, no matter how good it is.  And these are good!  Solution?  Make some for the The Latin Lover and me.  To that end, a meatloaf seemed like the place to start.  This is that meatloaf.  Continue reading →

almonds, diced tomatoes, Eggplant, fresh ginger, Greek-style yogurt, heavy cream, Lamb, lemon zest, olive oil, Spices

This version of Korma is not traditional.  I’ve added eggplant and lemon zest.  Feel free to omit both, but hand-to-heart, it won’t be as tasty…and at the Goddess’s abode, we’re all about tasty!  This Korma has particularly good Karma. Continue reading →

Slow-Roasted Sirloin Cap “Sunday” Roast

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

beef roast, Dijon mustard, Garlic, herbs, olive oil, Spices

Slow-Roasted Sirloin Cap "Sunday" RoastA friend extraordinaire, wants to improve her beef roasting skills and who doesn’t need to hone those, anyway?  You know, a “Sunday” roast, rather than a hulking mass of prime rib.  Oh, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing quite like a perfectly cooked medium-rare prime rib, but it’s nice to know how to roast a more reasonable (both price and size) type of roast.  You know…a good Sunday-dinner-with-the-family-type of roast.  That’s what we’re doing here.  Continue reading →
