What did you cook or eat today (January 2025)

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

The remains of the hot roasted saffron cauliflower salad, the spare saffron water was used to cook the rice, and salad...

And some pickled tofu

 

[msmofet]

pickled tofu? Do tell. Did/are you posting a recipe?

 

[Barriehie]

I love pickled tofu! I should make some!

On Wednesday, I fancied something vaguely Lebanese, since I unearthed some frozen kibbe from the freezer. Homemade hummus, kibbe, Lebanese pickles and a tomato/feta cheese salad:

Then yesterday, time just seemed to fly by and before I knew it, it was 5pm. I'd made some beluga lentils with left over xistorra and a couple of rashers of bacon, and also a ratatouille, but by the time I got round to trying to eat them, my wife had cleared them both away and put them in the fridge!
So I split open some pita bread, filled it with homemade falafel, tomato, feta onion and parsley, and wolfed those down:

Kibbe!!! Used to be a Ukranian woman owned the post box place I frequented in Las Vegas and she'd make me a plate of those often. Dang they were so good. I haven't had those in years. Might be a trick to get those in the middle of NW Georgia though. 🤷‍♂️

We've got a whole load of Lebanese restaurants in Caracas; and some very good ones, too. Then there's a couple of stores (El Arabito, San Jorge) that also sell anything and everything from the middle east: kibbe, pita bread, spices, pickles, dips and sweets.

 

[Barriehie]

None of those here... Have to expand my cooking nationalities. Side affect living in a 2 lane town. It's quiet though! 👍

 

[badjak]

Ah, so for once that are some things easily available to me.
Plenty Lebanese here

We have Greek food available in a town about ten miles from here. Pretty good.

Todays lunch.

One pan.

Plus some very spikey icey side kick yoghurt.

The rather expensive but gorgeous vegan Camembert (soz karadekoolaid it’s called ‘camemvert” 😂)

And the finished item.

 

[badjak]

I had cubed fried potatoes with satay sauce for dinner
I was trying out a couple things and brunch was healthy enough

 

[Windigo]

Thai yellow curry with sticky rice

 

[Windigo]

Lunch was homemade herb & feta spread with avocado on a pita, and some spicy nut mix on the side plus an unpictured apple

That yogurt doesn't have side affects??? 😄
