March in LA. Time to open the grill again. All grill dinner: sockeye salmon, asparagus, garnet yams. A little teriyaki on the salmon, shaved Parmesan on the asparagus, and some butter for the yam. Simple and good.
I used this recipe this afternoon to prepare dinner and it came out reasonably well. However a few changes should be made the next time. One is to use a lower/slower method. I think the chicken dried up a bit because of the High approach. And, although the spices were easy to come by in my cupboard, I think it would improve with some more traditional Indian spices. Worth doing though and very health conscious.
I was out of idea on what to cook for lunch. This does happen on and off. Rika was quick to suggest fried rice. She reminded me to use the leftover prawns from last dinner too. ER and YH had not eaten their share.
In this meal, rice cooked in advance was stir-fried with chopped garlic, diced shelled prawns and julienned Chinese sausages with skins removed. Seasonings like pepper, salt, light soya sauce and pinch of ajinomoto were added to taste. Lastly a slightly beaten egg was added in and stir-fried for a while; followed by cabbage, just stir-fried contents for a little longer to cook the cabbage and it’s done.

I made some Blueberry muffins today. It's a very simple recipe, and you can change the flavour if you don't like Blueberries.
Spinach and artichoke pasta, recipe by The Pioneer Woman. Plenty of butter and cheese, that´s the way I like my spinach. Seriously difficult to stop eating.

a Pashtun friend, ~50 yrs old and living in my neighborhood, invited me over for a home-cooked lunch last week of mantu, which is steamed meat dumplings with tomato/onion sauce and a bunch of chopped coriander, cucumbers, etc topped with chaka (sour yogurt).
he also made dogh which is chaka, water, cucumbers and mint with ice.
the E is for my name! :)
Another favourite from Jamie Oliver. We never really understood the potential of grilled vegetables before. They taste great when grilled on their own, but add the couscous and the lemon/olive oil dressing, and it is really sensational!
Recipe: Grill a variety of vegetables - I used courgettes, brinjal, fennel, red capsicum (chargrill this over a flame and remove skin after) and mushrooms in this particular dish, but asparagus works really well in it too. Soak couscous (about 200g) in cold water, allow it to absorb the water. When softened, mix with the grilled vegetables Add some handfuls of coriander and mint (can add other leaves as well, eg parsley, basil), dress with lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, some salt/pepper to taste.
