Dinner reports

Dec 1

A bunch of braised vegetables (onion, celery, carrots, red pepper, tiny brussels sprouts) with herb dumplings. AAAA! so good.

Oct 4

Dal; mixed roast vegetables (onions, eggplant, butternut squash, red pepper, zucchini) simmered olive oil, chopped tomatoes, plenty of garlic and a spoonful of garlic-chili sauce.

Sept 15

Leftover dragon's tongue beans and Parsi-style frittata, with some slightly wacky but very good ad-libs based on what we had in the house. (The coconut makes it!)

Plenty of olive oil
One large or two medium white onions, chopped very fine
One red pepper, chopped very fine
One or two teaspoons chile-garlic sauce
One clove garlic, minced
Equal amount ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
A tablespoon of this crazy coconut stuff
Salt to taste
Six eggs
A cup of chopped cilantro

Sept 6

Crepes with mushrooms and spinach.

Jun 20

Soft tacos: black beans with red pepper, onion, squash.

Jane got hers glued together with cheese into a quesadilla, which was a good trick for making it into relatively tidy finger food. 

Jun 16

Kichari (dal, rice, spices: I like it cooked thick like risotto); roast vegetables steeped in lemon juice and garlic; cucumber raita.

May 30

Frittata of cold soba, garlic-scape pesto, crispy onions, and a little yogurt. Sounds dire, probably, but really excellent, especially cold.

May 22

A sort of ratatouille-ish thing of vegetables cooked with tomatoes, garlic, and plenty of olive oil: onions, eggplant, peppers, kohlrabi, green beans, butternut squash.

May 12

Little roast eggplant wedges and lemon, dal, rice, yogurt. A hit with everyone!

May 11

Fried rice again, heavy on the eggs and with lots of very juicy nice kohlrabi.
