  1. Shrimp fried rice: onion, ginger, garlic, jalapeno, red curry paste, fish sauce, and an egg

     

    Cucumber salad: ginger, jalapeno, fish sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cilantro.

     

    The two went very well together

    I love"weird" things with eggs, must try peas now!

     

    Thanks! If you like eggs on things you might want to search for Parsi "kasa par ida" ("eggs on anything"), from 'My Bombay Kitchen' by Niloufer Ichaporia King.

     

    Excellent cookbook, too. 🙂

  4. I like onions. I think onions make everything better. Whatever the recipe calls for, I am likely to use more (assuming cooked onions, not raw). Often I cook onions down to a fraction of their initial volume, pure oniony goodness, as is done in many Indian recipes.

     

    See also: garlic and chiles.

     

    If the amount of onions was critical, clearly the recipe should provide some sort of +/- tolerance, in weight and/or volume (but preferably weight).

     

    But I have become a loosey-goosey cook over the years. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  5. Kielbasa with spinach, cilantro, goat cheese, and egg, flavored with chile serrano, onion, and garlic.

     

    Am I the only one eating breakfast these days? :laugh:

  6. Spinach, chorizo, and egg, topped with pickled shallots. Added chopped cilantro stems to the spinach. Blended chipotle in adobo, tomatillo salsa, ginger (!), cumin, and cream, and mixed in with fried onion and garlic, and Mexican oregano.

     

    Would have been prettier if I didn't drop the fried egg (in the pan, not on the floor). Whoops

  7. Sweet potato, baked and then sauteed in butter with onion, ginger, garlic, cayenne, cumin, and garam masala. I am often dissatisfied with savory sweet potatoes but this was quite satisfying.

     

    We had a pre-baked sweet potato because Mrs. C had air fried one last night, and it was still there this morning . . . :laugh:

  8. Mushroom and chorizo tacos with white onion, garlic, and chipotle in adobo. Cumin, cinnamon, feta, and half-and-half to finish, topped with cilantro and chopped salad. Mushrooms were fried in leftover garlic oil.

     

    I might make something similar for dinner.

  10. Paneer cheese in chipotle sauce with roasted garlic, tomato, black pepper, and cloves. Topped with chile Poblano, onion, and cilantro in a Parmesan cream sauce. So kind of a Mexican-Indian-Italian mash-up. :rolleyes:

    . . . In Las Cruces I had rellenos at a little place called El Jacalito. Very nice, good red sauce, hot chile, light batter. When I asked what kind of chile they used he said it was Anaheim. No CA anaheim chile tastes even remotely like that.

     

    ^ We also ate at El Jacalito - what are the odds? :laugh: I quite enjoyed the rellenos there, probably because of the flavorful chile. Agree that they used some sort of long green chile rather than a Poblano.

     

    They only chile relleno I recall making was stuffed with crab meat, no deep-frying. Freaking delicious, but surely not traditional? Perhaps from the small sub-subgenre of Maryland-Mex food. :rolleyes:

  15. Green beans with shrimp, chorizo, and crushed tomato, seasoned with slivered ginger, garlic, cayenne, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and garam masala. I wanted a flavorful meal before heading out on a road trip.
