Is cauliflower mac and cheese casserole just what it says?     I could sell that!   


I think of that as "Mock-eroni."

Some blogger had dubbed it that, and I tripped across the recipe while researching something or other.

Your photos are always spectacular, Shai. That custard looks phenomenal! How is the custard served: some is lumped on the side of the plate, or, one dips into the communal dish?

 

Recipe, please?

 

Thanks so much ☺️

It was a family meal, so dipping in was expected. I think that it might be a tad too runny to pour on a plate. A thali bowl will be better for personal servings.

Recipe is as follows:

  • apx. 90 g' dried small chickpeas, soaked over night

For custard:

  • 130 g coconut cream (it must be a good quality one, for the aroma to come through)
  • 3 eggs
  • Chili to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fine lime zest
  • 1/2-1 tsp dark brown sugar
  • tamarind paste to taste, apx 1 tsp (tamarind often varies in potency)
  • salt to taste 1/2-1 teaspoon

Tadka:

  • 1/2 tspn mustard seeds
  • 1 tspn corainder seeds
  • 1 tspn minced curry leaves
  • 1 tspn coconut fat or butter

A small handful of toasted coconut flakes/chips

 

  • Cook chickpeas in salted water until very tender. Drain.
  • Cook the eggs and coconut cream to a custard - over a gentle flame, or more "safely" over a bain marie.
    • Either way, mix well until it's fully thickened, making sure to scrap the bottom.
  • Add the chickpeas and other custard ingredients, adjusting to taste.
  • Fry in tadka spices in a small pan, until the mustard starts to pop.
  • Pour the custard to a serving bowls(s), and top taskda and coconut flakes.
  • Serve with flat bread of your choice.

Crispy Beef Tacos

 

 

How do you get the tortillas crisp?  Are they deep fried and then stuffed?  A Kennedy taco recipe I was reading called for stuffing the tortillas with filling and then frying.

My husband cut me some fat dowels the length of a half sheet pan. I just draped the tortillas on their side, around the dowels and baked them in a hot oven until they were crispy.

Who is Mr. Ron?

 

Mr. Ron's coleslaw is available at most Acme's and now most Shoprites in NJ. It is a PA product I first was only able to find down the Shore at Acme.  I find it so much better than I can do that it is my go to and I no longer make t from scratch.

Dinner tonight was to have been dry fried green beans.  I had a good quantity of green beans to use up and I purchased the rest of the ingredients.  When it came time for the green beans I found they had passed to another state of being.

 

Dinner was bluefish and baked potatoes.  Green baked potatoes.  Coleslaw and tomatoes.  The bluefish came out weird but enjoyable enough.  Now if only I could get the stuff out of my teeth.

 Don’t ya hate when this happens? It’s a recurring occurrence at my house.  Now there are all these ingredients but the star of the show is missing.

Crabs from Madagascar, chilli paste is my own. The basic paste contains no fresh turmeric but for this meal I added some.

Last night we had a very satisfying dinner at Miyake in Portland. Three of us ordered the four course menu and my niece had three courses. Tuna three ways: sashimi, Zuke, and tartare

And that does it for Maine. My niece decided to only apply to one of the three schools she toured, so I don’t know if we will be back up this way again soon, but if we are I would definitely choose Portland as my dining destination.

@TdeV, it is.  You can find it here.......http://www.thibeaultstable.com/2012/09/blackberry-cobbler-with-vanilla-cream_9338.html

 

Moe requested beef for dinner. So I stopped at the butcher on my way to work yesterday and picked up a couple of Filet Mignon. .

Offered Moe a choice of grilled or green peppercorn and he choose the peppercorn steak.

Sides were Parisienne Potatoes and zucchini from a friend's garden.

I used a melon baller to carve out the potatoes. One of Moe's favourite ways I serve potatoes.

This dinner took less than 50 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

I looked for Mr. Ron's at Shoprite but I didn't see it.  Not that I need coleslaw.
