The Tabasco taste here is actually quite subtle once the butter is incorporated into the quinoa – a bit spicy, a bit tangy. You can make your butter stronger if you like, or serve the quinoa with more Tabasco sauce on the side. The next day I did a “fried rice” style version of this by making a thin omelette, slicing it up and stirring it back into a heated skillet of the asparagus/quinoa.

Not everyone is a fan of the humble cauliflower. I get that. But we’ve enjoyed a good number of tasty cauliflower recipes together over the years, no? My hope is that the cauliflower curry or the lemon-zested sauté converted at least a few of you who were on the fence? If not, maybe this next recipe will. It’s no joke.

Vibrant, spicy, sweet earthiness all on one plate. (more…)

Let’s face it… kids would rather have their “own” than share (the common cold and flu virus being the obvious exception). Over the years, I have come to realize that this sentiment extends to food as well. For example, fudgesicles seem to be more popular than chocolate ice cream at Chez Wittmann, but they are essentially the same thing (sans stick, of course).I was mulling over this interesting facet of the juvenile psyche as I was mixing up some meatloaf for dinner. It inspired me to try something.

About 3-4 weeks into my vegetarian diet, I think my taste buds are getting more sensitive. When I accidentally ate a spoonful of my mom’s vegetable salad, there was a tiny speck of hidden tuna and immediately I spit it out. Although I did not swallow the tuna, I somehow found it to be very fishy. Another time, I was cooking pork rib lotus root peanut soup for the family.

Ragada Pattice, Aloo tikki, Samosa Chat were few items that I remember eating there. He had a very small cart with a big aluminum plate filled with ragada constantly boiling over small kerosene stove, warm samosas and kachories in separate plates, sweet tamarind chutney, green mint chutney and yogurt stainless ste
