Dinner 2025

[Maison Rustique]

@Honkman, I wouldn't have thought of apples and beans together, but now that I've seen it, I can't wait to try it.

 

BST (spinach instead of lettuce) for me. Served with salt & vinegar chips.

A friend came over for dinner so we cooked a "special occasion" meal. Friend brought raspberries and whipped cream for dessert.

 

Chicken in fried masala (Talae masala ka murgh): Fry onion, black cardamom, canela, cloves, bay leaves, ginger, garlic, almonds, cashews, peanuts, coriander seed, cumin seed, white poppy seed, and nutmeg, then puree with coconut milk. Brown skinless chicken thighs and them simmer with half of the paste and water. Add in the rest of the paste, simmer some more, and then finish with chopped cilantro. Quite decadent.

 

 

Spicy green peas with onion and ginger (Muttar-pyaz masala): Saute ginger, serrano chile, cumin seed, and an onion, then mix in ground coriander, cumin, cayenne, turmeric, and frozen peas. Simmer until done, then finish with amchur (mango powder), lemon juice, and garam masala.

 

 

Basmati rice with whole spices (Khadha masala chaval): Rinse and soak rice so the grains lengthen. Fry cumin seed, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, green and black cardamom pods, cloves, and black pepper, add the rice and soaking water, and finish with chopped cilantro.

Apples or pears combined with beans is quite popular in Germany. One famous dish is “Birnen, Bohnen und Speck” - pears, green beans and larger pieces of bacon cooked together

[Honkman]

Herb Frittata - “classical” frittata with plenty of herbs (parsley, chives and chervil) and nutmeg. Topped with a mixture of diced red bell pepper, onion, black olives in olive oil and white wine vinegar

Chicken masala leftovers. As with many complex dishes, this was even better the next day.

No photos. Went to a local sports bar where an old friend tends bar. Had a couple of glasses of wine and a pork tenderloin sandwich with tots--all scratch made to order. Fatty, dreadfully unhealthy and delicious. And I have enough leftovers for 2 more meals.
