We hope you had a terrific week-end. I'm so happy it is starting to feel like spring. I managed to get out for a run.
I have been wanting to cook some plantain for you. The plantain is a very large, firm variety of the banana family. It is also referred to as a "cooking banana" and is extremely popular in Latin American countries. It has a mild, almost squashlike flavor and is used very much as a potato would be here in Canada. We are going to offer it to you in CARIBBEAN PEAS AND RICE WITH FRIED PLANTAIN. The peas and rice is actually red beans (aduki) and brown rice cooked with some Caribbean spices and coconut milk.
Our PASTA WITH ALMOND-GARLIC SAUCE is new. We use cavatappi aka scooby-doo pasta and toss it with some herbs and a sauce of pureed roasted almonds, garlic, water, wine & lemon juice. You may also have this with GRILLED CHICKEN.
MY PAD THAI is marinated tofu and flat rice noodles tossed with bean sprouts and vegetables with a zesty Thai sauce with lime, ginger & soy as the dominating flavors.
Here is a good healthy vegetarian meal that is delicious yet low-cal. The HARVEST STEW is lots of vegetables in a tasty sauce topped with light HERB DUMPLINGS.
We will be sure to make plenty orders of FETA & SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN since it is so popular. We are serving it with some ROASTED POTATOES and Squash.
The BEEF POT PIE is beef strips cooked with fresh vegetables and herbs and topped with some buttery puff pastry. If you are looking for gluten& dairy free, we leave the pastry off some.
Here is a new meal to try... for the CHIPOTLE ROASTED CHICKEN we rubbed the chicken with a mix of chipolte peppers, paprika, oregano and cumin and baked it with some POTATOES or BROWN RICE & SWEET POTATOES.
LEBANESE BAKED KIBBEE is lean ground beef mixed with cooked millet, toasted almonds, onions and seasonings and pressed into a pan and baked. It comes with RICE & LENTIL PILAF.
Take care......Karin
