Variation on Chickpea-Dal - Chickpeas, red onion, garlic and red lentils are cooked in vegetable broth and coconut milk. At the same time you make some seasoned/infused oil by quickly pan-frying garam masala, cilantro and red pepper flakes in some oil before balancing it with some lemon juice. Mix everything together, add cashew nuts and more cilantro and serve with some coconut yogurt

Thank you! I used flour, potato starch and corn starch! I added pickles to the sandwich and it made it AMAZING. I usually don’t put pickles. Also heirloom tomatoes took it over the top.

Pasta Cassarole with Linguica and Kale - there are dishes you make for the first time but it hits a sweet spot and everybody at the table mentions that it is feels like comfort food you have made and eaten many times before. This casserole was one of these dishes. The recipe didn’t look that special but somehow it worked really nice together - penne, blanched and seared kale, seared linguica and mornay sauce with gouda and cheddar and topped with a little bit more gouda and panko crumbs.

If you cook for more people than usual Chili is often a good approach - this one was a rather classic way with ground beef, kidney beans, tomatoes and kidney beans pureed to give a good consistency, onions, chili powder, chipotle with adobo, coriander, garlic powder, cumin and oregano. Served over rice and with avocado, cheddar and sour cream

For Germans 12/24 is always the big celebration day for x-mas and today we cooked a mix of German (braised red cabbage and mashed potatoes) and middle eastern (shawarma meatloaf with caramelized onions from Ottolenghi’s “Comfort”) - the meatloaf is made with ground beef, onions, garlic, eggs, bulgur, grated zucchini, cumin, paprika, allspice, turmeric, cayenne and fresh mint and cilantro. It gets also topped for some time in the oven with caramelized onions which are made with pomegranate molasses, cinnamon and allspice. It’s served with a dipping sauce from greek yogurt and pomegranate molasses.
The braised red cabbage is made in an old-fashioned way with cloves, granny smith apple, red wine vinegar and black currant jam (normally red currant but that wasn’t available)

Pretty happy with the Porchetta from last night. Meat from Peads and Barnett. Dried out the skin in the fridge for 5 days then rolled it up. 450 for about 45 then 3 hours at 275-300. Ended up a touch spicier than I wanted, but everyone seemed to love it.
