Saffron Scented Chicken Curry with Chickpeas in Coconut Cream SauceThough The Goddess tends toward being heavy-handed with garnishes on curry, this chicken curry has a very subtle curry flavor.  The flavors intermingle and literally “bounce” around your palate, but the “curry flavor” is a back flavor.  And, this curry is fast enough for a mid-week family meal and tasty enough for company.  Either way, it’s delicious.  Continue reading →

The Dynamite Doula, a young woman who is near-and-dear to us, invited us over for lunch.  She has a new “InstaPot”, the pressure cooker-sauté pan-slow cooker pot and a whole lot more.  It turns out we have the same one, kindred spirits that we are!  Anyway, she, and her Dear One, served us a version of this wonderful, rib-sticking, winter-chasing bean soup.  It was supremely delicious, The Spicy Honey loved it and so I decided to see if I can come close to repeating her soup.  Continue reading →

You know I adore eggplant.  I don’t think I’ve ever met an eggplant dish I didn’t love.  I’ve been thinking about stuffed eggplant, so I decided that today was the day.  I was heading down the vegetarian path, adding lentils to give us that meaty texture.  Then, I took another path….

Caramelized Three-Onion Crôustade with Apple Butter, Feta and Bacon

apple butter, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, feta cheese, Leeks, pre-cooked bacon, refrigerated pastry, Shallots, Vidalia onions

Caramelized onions….mmmmm…a little sweet, a little sour, and just plain yummy.  The apple butter, with its hint of cinnamon, the saltiness of the feta and the crispness of the bacon juxtaposed against the creaminess of the caramelized onions, makes for a perfect “storm” of flavor!  Continue reading →

Egg Roll SoupI was thinking of Chinese food.  Truth be told, I’m usually thinking about food, and many times it leans Chinese.  I love egg rolls or spring rolls.  I was thinking about egg rolls.  Dreaming, really.  So with the winter chill, I was thinking about tossing together a soup of some sort.  And with the Asian New Year around the corner, light bulb moment!!!  Why not combine the two?  Continue reading →

Seafood Coconut Curry with MangoI’ve been thinking about Indian food recently.  Obsessing really.  This is what usually sends me off on a recipe search.  Picture The Goddess, crawling in camo through her jungle of cookbooks and the Inter”Webs”, in search of ideas.  That’s an image, isn’t it?  In this case, there wasn’t really a search.  It just sort of came together, and I had leftover shrimp and lobster…see how that works?  Continue reading →

Oma's Sauerkraut with Apple, Onion and BaconDid you have a nice Thanksgiving?  We were blessed with a visit from our good Canadian friends, The Austrian Sweet Tooth and The Organizer, Now Retired (she’s my political conscience!).  They were visiting to “experience” the “Southern” Thanksgiving, as they have never been with us for Thanksgiving, American-style, and a “Southern” Thanksgiving, as well.  We didn’t do the traditional turkey, but feasted on Pork Tenderloin with Mushrooms, Herbs and Apples, Bread Stuffing with Herbs, Scalloped Corn and sauerkraut.  Sauerkraut is just so delicious with pork, so why not?  And this…this is some gooood sauerkraut!  Continue reading →

Onions, Apple and Mushroom Compote (for Pork)The mixture of onions, apples and mushrooms is a winning combination.  I love this combination with pork or roasted chicken.  This is particularly nice, because you can make it ahead and reheat it.  I think it’s even better reheated, making it perfect for company.  And, this compote positively screams autumn!  Continue reading →

Jerk Seasoning BlendWith summer practically upon us, the taste buds turn to grilling.  And jerk chicken and jerk pork are perfect summer fare.  Loaded with flavor, with just the right amount of spicy heat.  It consists of a dry rub like this one and a wet “rub” or marinade.  But, that’s tomorrow’s post.  Jerk needs to be made ahead, so it’s sitting in the fridge just waiting for you…and your taste buds.  Continue reading →
