Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic SauceMy father-in-law has become an amazing cook, and he made this as part of our Easter lunch this year with the fabulous pork tenderloin recipe (see linked below). This version isn't gloppy with extra sauce like you find in many Chinese take out places. It's very flavorful but also relatively light and healthful. He made a TON of it,… |

Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian styleI have never been a really big fan of cauliflower, but I love potatoes and spices. This dish, known as 'Alu Ghobi', has long been a favorite vegetable side dish in my kitchen. It is simple, easy to make and very healthy for you. One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a… |

Asparagus and Shitake MushroomsQuickly sauteed asparagus and shitake mushrooms with fresh ginger makes a really spectacular dish. This has a light, Asian flavor that would go well with fish or poultry as well as beef (which we served it alongside). This could easily be cooked in a wok if you have one handy, though a large saute pan will work equally well. We… |

Garlic Ginger Green BeansThese are an excellent, healthy side dish to any grilled meat. I highly recommend them with the Chinese BBQ chicken recipe below, but honestly these would go well with just about anything. Unfortunately these were tapped out long before our chicken, so make more than you think you need. They are great the next day too! |

Cauliflower, Baby Potatoes, and Heirloom Tomatoes, Oh My!I love vegetarian meals, hell, I love almost everything except mayonnaise which fortunately doesn't figure in Indian cooking. One of the greatest compliments I can get at home is when my husband says.."I'm a carnivore, but damn this is really really good. I could just eat this stuff." Of course "this stuff" is vegetables. This is the… |

Quick And Creamy, Super Dreamy, Cauliflower Curry!Friday, April 23, 2010 Fast And Creamy, Super Dreamy, Cauliflower Curry Let's get this up front right now. I am cheap. If I can get a bargain, I do.

Asparagus in Miso-Butter SauceThis dish is amazing. I could eat a pound of this with rice as my dinner...and practically did tonight. I've adapted it from a recipe in the New York Times cookbook, reducing and lightening the sauce to make it both healthier and tastier...in my opinion. I served it with a fish with curry sauce that Nancy made. We'll post that… |

Simple Sesame Green BeansI realize that 5 stars is an awfully high rating for such a simple dish. But honestly, I end up eating a pound of green beans every time I make them this way. They end up so tender, and I love the simple flavor created by the sesame seeds and by steaming them in the broth. Depending on what I'm serving them with, I decide whether… |

Indian Style Curried Tofu & Mixed VegetablesThis is an incredibly tasty Indian style mixed vegetable dish with extra protein from tofu. The flavors come primarily from the roasted seeds, asafetida, curry masala powders, onions & garlic. It is relatively low in carbs as is and high in protein and fiber. It is also moderately low in fat and you can cut the fat even further by… |

A Tale of Two Neighbors Or How Italian Peppers found Their Way Into Indian FoodThis isn't a very complicated story. It's mainly the tale of a small town (Sonoma). There are about 9,000 people in our town, pretty shocking when you've been living in LA for a loooooooong time, and were born and raised in San Francisco. Yes, quite a… |

Creamy Cauliflower And Lakers Magic!One thing I love about fixing a tandoori chicken lunch is the simplicity. Once the chicken has been marinated, nothing goes better with this dish than a bread some pickled cucumbers and one veg. The most likely vegetable to find on my tandoori table is cauliflower. Especially when I can get a beautiful organic one for 99 cents!… |

World Cup Cabbage. Quick, Easy and Comforting When You Don't Make The Late Goal.I have to be honest here. I've never watched a soccer game. Basketball has always been my sport. The only reason that I've never really watched soccer is because like most citizens of the US of A, the TV machine has never told me to. But all of a… |

Squash In A Spice Paste Done Pronto!This has been one hell of a week, one of those 7 day stretches that includes everything on lifes' smorgey...except dental. Of course the week's not over yet. It's been a week of some nerves, some loss, some traveling, some stress and the general sense of just being unable to catch up. That said, I can't wait for Monday to start the… |
