To accompany Fish n’ Chips

I recently had this at a Middle-Eastern fusion restaurant as the bread-olive oil starter. It’s addictive, fast, and cheap!
Mix everything together. Eat with fresh bread, cheese, and cucumber 🙂
This goes really well on steak or a roast. It also goes with bread as a snack. Guaranteed, Juergen is eating this right now.
Ingredients:
Method:
Roasted chicken with coriander-caper-sauce, roasted red bell peppers, egggplant-pine nut couscous.
YUM
Chicken: lemons, butter, caper juice, olive juice, olives. Sauce gravy with white wine, coriander, capers, rosemary.
jar of pesto + roux = creamy pesto. add linguini and green beans = yum 🙂
(bare-bones roux= butter + flour + milk)
mayo?, white vinegar, white wine vinegar, olive oil?, sugar, salt, pepper, celery seed, green & red cabbage.
pulled pork, pickles
I apologize for the roughness of this recipe. But there’s no time like the present to shed your water-wings and swim in the deep end!
Put about a cup of plain yogurt, a clove or two of garlic, and some salt in a blender (or just finely mince the garlic and mix with yogurt and salt). Blend until smooth. You can adjust the amount of yogurt, garlic, and salt as you like. Stir in half a bunch of chopped fresh dill (optional).
In a small sauce pan add a few tbsp of canola oil. Heat over medium heat for a few minutes. Add 1-2 tbsp of crushed red pepper and paprika, fry for a minute or two. You can also add some finely chopped flat leaf parsley and a tbsp of tomato paste if you like. This time I made it without dill and with tomato paste–if you make it with dill, I suggest you omit the tomato paste.
Toss cooked penne pasta with the yogurt sauce. Serve in serving bowls and drizzle the fried red pepper over it. (it’s much thicker and richer if you add tomato paste, I suggest you add some water) Chopped red onion is also a nice garnish 🙂
This recipe is one my favorite salads from Good Earth Cafe. I wish I invented it, but I didn’t 🙂
Toss it up and devour 🙂

Nassy Spicy Peanut Dressing:
Blend in a food processor until smooth. I add the smallest amount of every ingredient (especially when using soy sauce and sesame oil), then add more to taste after it’s been blended. My advice is to do the same and remember that patience is a virtue 🙂
According to Brian, this is what makes California Burritos great: Lolita’s Hot Sauce.
Ingredients:
Method:
Serve with California Burritos. What’s a California Burrito? A burrito with carne asada, french fries, cheese, hot sauce/salsa, and sour cream.
Chicken with garlic-lemon butter sauce, green beans, and bulgur.

I just made an amazingly good omelette with left over mashed potatoes, spicy green relish, and cheddar cheese (and eggs of course). Eggs are one of the greatest and cheapest forms of protein in my fridge ( tofu doesn’t last and beans take too long). I heated up some mashed potatoes in a skillet, added some green relish, cracked 4 eggs over the whole thing and added salt and pepper. After the egg looked 90% cooked, I added grated cheddar cheese and mixed it all up into a mash, then let it sit so that it crisped up on the bottom. I had wanted to add some left-over chicken too, but I forgot it was in the fridge 😦 Voila! Dinner.
Here’s the green relish recipe, a la Nassy:

What can I do with this Relish?
Since this is essentially an Indian food recipe it will go well with Indian Food. I used it in grilled cheese Panini (mozzarella, sourdough, and relish) and I’m sure it’ll be great as a spread in other types of sandwiches. It was a great flavor for the mashed potatoes in the above omelette. I’d really like to try it as a sauce for grilled shrimp or seared scallops. If you add it to sour cream it’ll be a great dip for crudite and chips.
I love this recipe! but it’s so intense to make—and then again SO worth it! I’m going to have to put it back into rotation. I always use frozen french fries and bake them in the oven while I chop the vegetables. I made homemade fries once, but it was too much effort and I didn’t like how they turned out for Lomo Saltado. Crispy fries are the best because when they soak up the meat sauce they don’t get soggy.

Lomo Saltado:
This sauce goes well with falafel, it’s also very good on rice, with Indian food, and alone as a chilled soup. If you like a smooth consistency you can process it in a blender and forgo the addition of water.
Ingredients:
Method:
1. Mix the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and mint in a bowl. If you are using onion add it as well.
2. Dilute with water until it’s your desired runny-ness.
3. Add salt to taste.
