missmasala: December 2010

http://missmasalanyc.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. December 20, 2010. Can I talk to you about moghrabieh? Also spelled mograbeyeh. And mograbieh. A.k.a. Lebanese couscous and Syrian couscous. I picked some up at Sahadi's, my local Middle Eastern market, a while ago. Then, because I didn't know what to do with it, it sat on my shelf. The other day, bored of pasta and rice and potatoes and barley and all of our usual starch accompaniments, I took it out to serve with some lamb chops. It was a learning experience.

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. November 6, 2010. A hailstorm recently decimated most of what remained in our garden, including the last of our basil. Of course I didn't realize that until after I had come home from the farmer's market, laden with zucchini and potatoes and cavalo nero and carrots, promising to make the Vegetarian a nice soupe au pistou. (She loves pesto. She loves soup. Two great tastes and all that.). It's yours. No onions in that sauce? And you know what? 1/2 pound green be...

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. September 7, 2011. Just had my second Thailand article published at The Eaten Path. This great website is run by my friend James Boo. Have a look and let me know what you think. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I live and cook in a disheveled apartment with a smartcar-sized kitchen in Brooklyn, NY. I share the space with Mr. Coffee, the Soccer Monster, the Vegetarian, and Koko the Cat. View my complete profile. There was an error in this gadget.

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. October 14, 2010. Can I talk to you about freekah? Yes, it is freaky. Freakily good, that is. If you google for freekah recipes, you will come up with a lot of stew-like dishes made with lamb. However, I love chewy whole grains served as room temperature salads, so I decided to make one up. While I cooked the freekah in my pressure cooker (HIMHMILMPC? Freekah Salad with Roasted Cauliflower. 1 head cauliflower (small, medium, or large—it doesn't matter). The fre...

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. June 8, 2010. In this post I thought I would talk about restaurants in Thailand, and a couple of dishes that I've had there but never found here in the U.S. Last summer there were actually two standout meals (well, really three, but two were in the same restaurant). The first was in the this restaurant:. 8212;, but it was all fresh, spicy, and totally yummy. See a theme here? My SIL makes fun of how much I like red curry. I'm almost alone in this, as most o...

missmasala: Potato Parathas

http://missmasalanyc.blogspot.com/2011/07/potato-parathas.html

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. July 25, 2011. Or it means I eat delicious things like this:. These are vegetarian Burmese style noodles made by Goma, my parents' housekeeper, who is Burmese but of Nepali descent, and a strict pure-veg Hindu. She's always making delicious things and leaving them on the stove for us. As you might imagine, the Vegetarian loves Goma and has been in heaven. In this case, I did the opposite. I made potato parathas instead of buying them. I had avoided making fille...

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. August 29, 2011. I've always spelled it Ceviche, but this is a picture of my friend Omar's Seviche, and that's how he spells it. I first heard about Omar's seviche when his wife Paola mentioned that they were going to a book party because Omar's seviche recipe had been published in this book. Anyway, when I discovered that Omar's seviche was good enough to be in a cookbook, I was of course very intrigued and started. But you know what? When I eventually did get...

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. April 28, 2010. A couple of weeks ago I was charged with making a birthday cake for a friend whose favorite is German chocolate cake. (which, by the way, is not from Germany at all but is named after Mr. German, the founder of the Baker's chocolate company who came up with the recipe.). I googled around looking for a recipe and came upon this one. Busy as I am, you just don't wanna do all of that. So I hunted around some more and found this recipe. I was mainly...

Tasty tidbits from a tiny brooklyn kitchen. March 29, 2010. It's got many different names and spellings. This soupy lentil dish is a staple of Indian meals and a favorite in our house. We tend to like it thicker and more porridge-like than it is usually served, but that is the beauty of dal. Want it thinner? Add more water. Want it thicker? Boil it down. Dal can please anyone. Because it cuts way down on cooking time, but any old pot will do. Let's discuss them, shall we? These are split and hulled moong...
