BRUSCHETTA PLATTER (with tomato & basil, mushroom & thyme, olive-caper tapenade, and oven-dried tomatoes)

Posted September 10 by Kirthana Kumar

I never realized this until now, but food blogging brings together a few of my favourite things..cooking (of course), food styling & food photography (which have been a more recent discovery) and my penchant for mindless writing. Don’t get me wrong, I make sure that the recipes that I post on here are my absolute… Read more »

Broccoli & kale salad | When I posted a poll a few Broccoli & kale salad | When I posted a poll a few days ago asking if you guys preferred stories or reels, I got a 47% for stories and a 53% for reels. So I guess I’m going to have to do both now? THESE ARE THE BURDENS I BEAR 🙈
Pumpkin & Cauliflower salad with Pecans & Feta | T Pumpkin & Cauliflower salad with Pecans & Feta | The vegetables will take a little while to cook. About 45 mins. Chopped them up, tossed them with some spices, and bunged it in the oven. I then went to take a shower. I was back in time for some casual tearing (lettuce – who chops lettuce?!), transferring, and strewing. We ate the salad with Turkish eggs that came together in the time that it took to fry up a couple eggs. Long story short: take a mid-cook shower. Oh and also try the salad? Recipe is linked
Zucchini and broccoli with marinara, olives and ca Zucchini and broccoli with marinara, olives and capers. Sizzling olives and capers in olive oil makes this topping/dressing situation so complex, and for almost no effort on your part. And you get these delightful briny pops with every bite. Salad or side? Who knows/cares
Pasta with chard, roasted garlic & paneer. By now Pasta with chard, roasted garlic & paneer. By now I’ve probably done about 37461 different variations of pasta sauce using tomatoes and paneer. And that’s a conservative guesstimate 😂
Garlic egg fried rice 🍚 The lowdown: lots of ch Garlic egg fried rice 🍚 The lowdown: lots of chopped garlic fried in oil until browned (and crispy). Strain the garlic and retain the oil. 4 eggs, very softly scrambled in the remaining garlic oil. For the fried rice, I crumble in stock cubes instead of salt for that additional umami depth. Everything gets tossed together with a knob of butter in the end. For flavour, but also because fried rice sometimes tends to dry out. The butter helps moisten the rice. Recipe is linked
Spinach & paneer cannelloni. I used dried lasagne Spinach & paneer cannelloni. I used dried lasagne sheets instead of cannelloni tubes cos that’s all I had on hand. Ofc half the sheets tore with my clumsy handling™️
Stretched out some leftover fried rice with prawns Stretched out some leftover fried rice with prawns and an extra egg (it was already an egg fried rice). It’s more 🦐 than 🍚 now, I think? (🔥 courtesy sambal oelek)
Lemon ricotta pancakes + blueberry compote 🍋🥞🫐 A few things: 1) ricotta tends to make pancakes denser than if you were to use just flour. To counter this, make sure you whisk the eggs until well aerated. 2) rubbing lemon zest into sugar really intensifies their lemony flavour and also distributes it evenly in the batter. Will get the recipe up soon.
Off the cuff dinner (& reel!) : seared beef with b Off the cuff dinner (& reel!) : seared beef with broccoli. Garlic, lots of black pepper, and a crumbled stock cube for seasoning. If you have your beef pre-sliced, this meal will come together in 15 mins tops.
Beef & Thai basil stir-fry | ⚠️ PSA : Add a pi Beef & Thai basil stir-fry | ⚠️ PSA : Add a pinch of sugar to the beef whilst browning. It’ll help with caramelizing and charring the edges. A Thai dressing/sauce always benefits from a pinch of sugar for balance, so adding it at this stage instead of mixing it into the sauce is a neat trick for extra caramelization. It does double duty this way. Recipe is linked
Maple-roasted figs + cinnamon yogurt + candied wal Maple-roasted figs + cinnamon yogurt + candied walnuts. Dessert that could also be..breakfast? Where does that arbitrary line even begin and end? 🤷🏾‍♀️ (Recipe is linked)
