What a weekend in the kitchen!

A real focus on grains, lentils and beans, and on stocking the freezer.

🤩 I finished with a simple chole (chickpea curry) from #PlantBasedIndia. I have a very special recipe that I love - complex and multi-layered. This one is so different - simple in flavours but no less delightful! It is GORGEOUS! 🤩 It is cooling now to go into the freezer.

The rest is a summary of what I've been chatting about all weekend:

🍽️ Lots of vegetarian sausage rolls in the freezer - lots of Friday Night dinners, I suspect.

🍽️ Mung beans with greens, from #ShelfLove. I was able to use greens that I froze in Summer. That's gone into the freezer too.

🍽️ My much loved Tuscan Baked Beans - lemony and herbaceous - leftovers are in the fridge.

🍽️ A nutty, herby burghul salad from #Med. Leftovers in the fridge.

🍽️ I didn't get the cabbage koftas made. They'll get done through the week.

Rightoh, I have some dishes sorted for the weekend. We've been low on grains, lentils, beans lately so:

🤩 My beautiful Fagioli Stufati |(Tuscan Beans Baked with Sage and Lemon), with some focaccia straight from the oven and a side of greens and baked and mashed sweet potatoes.

🤩 Mung beans (whole) with greens, tamarind and turmeric, another #Ottolenghi Indian-influenced dish from #ShelfLove, but I will make some adjustments to (of course). Sides of rice, yoghurt, cabbage thoran, and I will open the Indian-style quince pickles.

🤩 Burghul salad with greens, nuts and herbs - a common enough salad (outstanding versions with different grains by #Ottolenghi in one of his books, and by Adelaide's #Simon whats-his-face) - this is a simpler one from #Med by #ClaudiaRoden. Probably with leftovers.

🤩 And some real Indian - Bandhgobhi Kofta in a spicy sauce - either tamarind or tomato-based. From #LordKrishnasCuisine #TheArtOfIndianVegetarianCooking by #YamunaDevi. With rice and Indian accompaniments.

That should do us for the weekend, with leftovers.

🤩 Also I need to put something in the freezer. So there may be more. For quick eats I like to freeze whole meals - eg rice, a lentil curry and a veg curry - in the one container. On long busy days, it is delicious food that can be quickly heated and eaten with pickles and yoghurt added. Perhaps a quick green or tomato salad.

Jeg har anmeldt en ny kokebok! Om du ikke eier en Ottolenghi-kokebok enda, kan kanskje denne være et alternativ? En litt mer nøktern kokebok enn hans andre utgivelser. Mye god mat her! https://kokebokanmeldelser.no/2023/04/anmeldelse-av-shelf-love-fra-ottolenghi-test-kitchen/ #kokebok #ShelfLove #Ottolenghi #anmeldelse #bokanmeldelse #bokblogg

A nice little protein shot for veg*ns - large butter beans, curried, cheesy, on cheela (Indian chickpea flour pancakes).

The curried butter beans are from #ShelfLove by #Ottolenghi (with a few tweaks). He serves them on toast, I made us some cheela to wrap them in.

Pretty delicious. VERY easy.

I used some jarred butter beans I found in the local Continental grocery. Jarred beans are common in Europe (and possibly North America??) but unusual here. I like the taste better than tinned.

Romancelandia, we are down to just SIX wishlists that have received no gifts yet. Can you help with one gift from one of those lists? A few dollars can make a huge difference on someone's life, especially during the holiday season, which is usually already harder emotionally for so many of us.

Huge thanks to Andrea at @Shelflove

Romancelandia, assemble! Can we get at least one gift for every wishlist by the end of the day?

@Shelflove on twitter: "27/39 Romancelandia Holiday Fairy wishlists have at least 1 gift on the way!

That leaves just 12 more wishlists that need YOUR support before the end of today, Sunday 12/11.

I don't have a lot of disposable income, and what I do goes to #MutualAid. This one is dear to my heart because even something worth just a handful of dollars (a book, socks, pens or pencils) can change someone's holiday season from horrible to, "someone sees me, someone cares about me" and that joy is priceless.

So, if you can, please give. If you can't give, please share.

#ShelfLove #Romancelandia #HolidayFairies #MutualAid

If you have a limited budget for this, you can select more affordable choices for several lists, then ship to multiple addresses! To make sure you ship to the correct address, open your cart in two tabs, then use one to confirm where each gift goes as you continue to checkout on the other.

#Romancelandia #ShelfLove #HolidayFairies #MutualAid

I am going to add to @Shelflove 's thread by saying: if you have a limited budget for this purpose, you can search several lists for lower priced items, then ask amazon at check out to "ship to more than one address" and select where each gift goes. Even a few bucks can brighten someone's holidays.

Spread the love, romancelandia holiday fairies!
