Basmati Rice with Herbs

Basmati Rice with Herbs by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an excellent, flavorful side dish that goes really well with fish, shrimp, or chicken. It's like a mild version of a Briyani...easy to make and full of healthy ingredients. I thought the Parmesan cheese was weird addition, but the flavor blends nicely and it isn't over powering. Enjoy!

You can change out the other vegetables (spinach is a nice addition as it adds to the creaminess of the dish). Make sure you fry the cumin seed and potatoes over sufficiently high heat that the cumin…

Curried Chickpeas, Onions, and Kale in Tomato Sauce

Curried Chickpeas, Onions, and Kale in Tomato Sauce by Katherine Martin

This recipe should be called "I bought a whole bunch of kale for a recipe and then forgot the recipe I needed it for, and now I need to use it asap." But I have been making variations of this recipe for the past two years, and because I have yet to meticulously measure everything, it is different everytime. Even in this attempt to…
