I made spicy Korean eggplant

Made an awesome dish this afternoon of spicy Korean eggplant. It was a hit! The eggplant was nice and creamy, and the sauce had a nice heat to it. I'll definitely be making this again, and it's so cheap to make, which is also a win.

Recipe that I used is from here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfXK7vc-Z7A

I made falafel and lentil flat bread

I made baked falafel with red lentil flat bread for the wrap. I baked them just because it's easier then frying all these for a family but, still they are delicious. The lentil wraps are great with it as well. Honestly, 7-10 years ago if you told me that some of my favorite meals to make would be plant based.... I'd chuckle and dismiss it. I mean I still enjoy cooking meat but, yeah plants make super satisfying, cravable meals.

I made a soup

It's about to warm up out of soup season so I made a new one for me. It's butternut squash, cauliflower, lentil soup. It was funny because after I blended it with an immersion blender I tasted it and it tasted like it definitely was missing something, added the coconut milk and some lime juice and WOW that was it.

I used my own veggie broth for this. I didn't have red curry paste so I just used some powders I use for curries with a little extra paprika.

Here is the recipe I used for this.

I made Farinata

This was my first attempt at making farinata. It could have used a little more bake time but it was great. It's simple but full of flavour I would definitely make it again and experiment with toppings.

I'm Heading to Phoenix Can Anyone Recommend Anything Cool To Check Out While I'm There?
  • The aquarium is amazing, wish we had budgeted more time for it. The facility it is at has a whole days worth of activity there. The Olive Mill is a pretty good pace to check out as well, specially if you like olive oil. I wanted to go, but didn't have time to visit Heard Museum.

  • I made a red lentil and sweet potatoe curry

    Made it with my own vegetable broth as well. It turned out great, would definitely make this again. Just didn't have cilantro and missed that.

    SPOILERS - Doctor Who: The Star Beast Discussion
  • Wife and I loved this episode, just so great. Hate that Jodie didn't have writers and stories as great as this. My wife did find a bit of a plot hole though. This story takes 15 years later right? Donna got married 15 years ago, assuming she got married not long after the meta crisis. So Rose should be 13 or 14 at the oldest. Rose clearly is in her late teens.

  • I made basic white bread

    !

    I found another bread recipe called basic white bread. This is even more basic than the first. The ingredients for this one was only yeast, sugar, water, flour and salt. The crust was amazing so flaky. It was cooked in Dutch oven with the lid closed for the first half then open for the last half.

    I made curry with lentil balls
  • I have been just making the curry for a while, so pretty much all ingredients are what I would like them to be. Not sure about exact measurements. Curry: Two medium white onions, diced same amount of diced eggplant. Salt and pepper. Sautéed in oil. Clear the middle of the pan for the spices, I used curry powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red pepper flakes, and a garlic ginger paste. Add a tin of diced tomatoes. Add about a cup and a bit of mango yogourt - I usually use coconut cream here but felt like switching it up. Let simmer.

    Lentil balls: I boiled 1.5 cups of red lentils for 5 minutes, don't want them too mushy. In a food processor I added, a large carrot (cut into smaller pieces), an onion, garlic ginger paste, close to the same spices from the curry, and parsley (I was out of fresh coriander), and a bit of the yogourt. Blended until it was in small chunks. Mix with the lentils, smashing most of it. I formed into balls and placed onto a greased baking sheet. I cooked it in a pre-heated oven at 425*F for 12 minutes, flipped the lentil balls and mashed them down a bit and cooked for another 12 minutes.

  • I made curry with lentil balls

    This evening I made a curry that had mango yogurt in it and rather than making rice I made baked lentil balls, haha there is a better name for them, right? Something like kofte? Anyhow this dish was extremely affordable, packed with veggies and flavour.

    Quiet here...

    Things are really quiet on here, guessing there are a lot more consumers than sharers. The #Leafs hashtag is a good follow on Mastodon, there are frequent posts and good bots sharing. Looking forward to lively conversations about the coming season. Go Leafs go

    [I ate] Bao buns and spring rolls

    Today in Battleford, Saskatchewan, we had a street festival and at this event were several food trucks. We got Bao buns and spring rolls from one. The Bao on the left is a brisket filled one and the one on the right is pork belly... Wow, so good. Plus the weather was great for mid September here it was 28*C

    [I made] basic white bread

    ! I came across this recipe for basic white bread (what the recipe called it), is a nice sandwich bread. Not to crumby and firm pain in taste. But it's easy and cheap to make. I didn't take pictures but used the dough from the other loaf to make cinnamon rolls, got ate too quickly.

    [I made] tomato loaf

    We were gifted a bunch of tomatoes so I made this tomato loaf. I used this recipe, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjEwRcTwU-g&t=1 I couldn't find sun dried tomatoes not in oil so I didn't use them, and pinenuts were crazy expensive so didn't use those either. I did add a whole clove of garlic and some Italian seasoning. Loved it, ate a whole loaf with the family once it cooled. I'm curious about adding bits of mozzarella into it next time.

    I made smoked spatchcock chicken

    Made a rub, did a 2 hour cold smoke then a 2 hour hour hot smoke. It was juicy and delicious. This time I didn't brine it but it still was super moist and tender.

    I ate a savoury croissant

    The Night Oven Bakery in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan is amazing. We bought a sourdough loaf, a brioche loaf from there and ate this tasty treat while in the store.

    Chicken lollipops

    I made smoked chicken lollipops today. They are a bit of effort but so worth it. Quickly they have become a family favourite. Thinking doing these up with turkey drumsticks would be very fun.
