Something Delicious

Foodie here but also on the SUPER healthy side of things. Portobello mushrooms with herbs, spinach and light cheese, broiled, delightful! We made a pasta dish this week, small beans, pesto, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, angel hair and some parmesan arregiano, it was SO good and light. Fun thread!

Hi Mtn thank for joining us!

Seems like a lot of people are looking for healthy and delicious ideas for meals so please bring those ideas. Mushrooms make a really nice flavor and texture delivery to any meal. Broiling sounds like a great idea. Grilling is always my first choice but I cant always do that. Amazing how some good cheese can kick up a dish yes?

That and hot sauces. Hot sauce freak here. A bottle of Tabasco does not even last me a week these days. I need to buy it by the quart I guess. lol

Yes it sure is. I always look forward to fall root vegetables especially for soup.
Been developing a sweet potato soup that still needs some work.
Also a big fan of squash particularly butternut and acorn.

Though I do not identify as vegetarian I maintain a mostly plant based diet and eat seafood regularly. Leafy greens such as chard, collards, spinach, bok choy are favorites. Also love cabbage. Kimi Chi and rice..could eat it every day.

Yum..

What a wonderful thread. I, too, love to cook, try new things, mix up new ingredients, try new gadgets. First, let me say, I love my kitchen! I've been stuck in apt size kitchens way too long. New house, wonderful kitchen. Best part...the kitchen island. Love love the space!

This morning I cut up 3 different types of apples, added some butter, sugar, cinnamon and the last of the dried cranberries ( the new raisin, lol). Put them all in the crockpot for crockpot applesauce. Waiting for the smell to wake up the house.

I get most of my ideas from magazines, the cooking channel and lately Pinterest. I'm a fresh food cook, hardly canned anything.

So Bon appetite , let's see what we can learn and share here!

Welcome Unique!

Lucky you with a kitchen island! More space is always a great thing.

Your applesauce sounds great. Nothing like fresh apples being cooked to make a house fill with amazing aroma.

So glad you stopped by! I look forward to learning from everyone and reading about what interesting things you are all eating and/or cooking!

My mum had a laugh at me the other day, I told her one of my favourite things growing up was her mince (ground beef for you 'Mericans) - she added onion, worchester sauce, and ???, coleslaw and mashed potato. Nothing fancy at all and I loved it.

I used to make this lovely simple pasta sauce that you have over fettuccine - it's the kind of thing you leave simmering in a pan at the back. I can't remember if it's from the north or the south ...

chop and saute carrots, celery and tomatoes (skinned, tinned ones are ok) for a few minutes. Put in a pot with tomato juice and simmer for an hour. Put over fettuccine. Enjoy. How simple is that? I usually add onions and garlic but that's not included in the original recipe.

One of my favourite Malaysian dishes is asam laksa. Asam means sour, laksa refers to the noodles. There are lots of different varieties of laksa https://www.facebook.com/pages/Laksa/112054285474391. My problem is that my Malaysian exgf is a great cook as is her mum and several of her aunties and I've been spoilt rotten. I don't actually eat asam laksa very often because I'm usually disappointed.

The main ingredients are tamarind juice, herring or mackerel, laksa leaves (Vietnamese mint or ordinary mint), prawn paste, belachan, pineapple. Enjoy!

Kiwi is Laksa always made as a soup? I love Tamarind and only recently started using it in soup after having some amazing Filipino Tamarind soup. It was so good that I had to try and make it at home. Now I am hooked.
Everything sounds good but I am not a fan of oily fish, however I do like fish a lot.

The prawn paste is the cooked version yes?

Also what is belachan?

Bèsame* · 11-06-2012, 08:12 AM

Have you tried Tiger Sauce? Made by the same company as Tabasco. I really like the flavor.

Tiger Sauce, no. What is it like?

I may have a hot sauce addiction. Not sure yet. Will get back to you after I knock off a bottle of Tapatio later.

lusciouskiwi · 11-06-2012, 09:43 AM

Try some sambal belacan (belachan)

Sun · 11-06-2012, 09:51 AM

Ok they call that Sambal over here. Chili and garlic paste or just chili?

easygoingfemme · 11-06-2012, 10:54 AM

On cold mornings like we have now I love to make a batch of tortillas and top them with eggs, beans, and hot sauce. I usually scramble the eggs and toss in some spinach with them. Warms the gal up over here!

absurdfemme · 01-15-2013, 07:50 PM

My father introduced me to Tiger Sauce years ago. I don't think I ever thanked him.

absurdfemme · 01-15-2013, 07:56 PM

Are y'all familiar with Datil chilies? I don't know much about them. There was a man selling them at the Oklahoma State fair when I was there. He gave me a bottle of sauce, which I thought was good. Not as hot as Habanero, this sauce was smoky, but I beleive he had smoked the Datils before making the sauce to get that flavour.

This is not a familiar chili to me but it has an interesting history. Datil Chili Pepper.

spritzerj may be interested in using this pepper in a jelly. Seems that this was one of its original uses.

Ursy, I honestly don't know what brand the mandoline is???
Corkey, thanks for the info. My Uncle is 98 and 1/2 years old! Does this mean that it is vintage? and well seasoned? Also he is leaving me one of those old metal potato mashers that belonged to his mother. I love stuff like that.
