Summer Squash Chili with White Cheddar Cornbread 5

My friend Emily has been studying for the New York State Bar Exam and decided to spend her birthday studying in Washington Square Park. She had this great idea, inviting friends to join her in the park, to study or read a book, or just say hi. Of course, I wanted to bring her some food. It’s really the best or only way I know how to say Happy Birthday!

Braised Lamb Shanks with Chickpeas and Dried Fruit

Thursday, January 8, 2009

This dish is inspired by Moroccan flavors, which I love. The use of fruit brightens up the rich and heavy flavors of lamb. Although this dish does require some work, with so many ingredients, it is all very simple considering the restaurant quality meal you’ll be able to present.

Hummus, Quinoa Tabbouleh, and Eggplant Caperberry Salad

Monday, September 1, 2008

As I mentioned in my previous post, I served Moroccan Spiced Chops with Pluot Sauce to Angie and Scott. You don’t think that’s all I served, do you? Of course not! Meals at our place are always feasts! With that we had Tzatziki (I’ve posted this recipe before), Hummus, Quinoa Tabbouleh, Eggplant Caperberry Salad, and fresh Pita. Here are the recipes to make your feast!

I can’t believe I’ve never posted a hummus recipe. If you have a food processor, it is so easy to make, you’ll never pay for store bought versions again. Take this recipe as a guideline, adjusting to your taste. My tahini (which we brought home from Greece) is super dark so here I use 1 tablespoon but you might need more. Keep in mind that the quality of your ingredients will make a big difference here, especially what olive oil you use.

Yum Yum Brunch

Sunday, December 16, 2007

I had the Yum Yum Sisterhood over for Brunch. Our mission is always social eating but today we also started folding paper cranes for two important people to Julie and Lily, who were diagnosed with cancer. Our best wishes goes out to them. We had a great time as we always do and I got several compliments on the food. Here’s what we had:

Pumpkin Bread
This is a simple and perfect pumpkin bread for a holiday season brunch. The texture and color is amazing. I will definitely make this again.

Salmon Cake Benedict with Garlic Roasted Potatoes
This was my own creation. I did not write down an exact recipe for poaching the eggs, the sauce (a pseudo hollandaise), and the potatoes but I did finally write down my recipe for the salmon cakes that I’ve made several times. People always ask me for the recipe and I didn’t have one until now:

1 can (7oz) Kirkland brand Salmon (other canned salmons are awful)
1 cup chickpeas, mashed
1/4 cup minced yellow or white onion
1 green onion, chopped
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
pinch cayenne (adjust to your spice)
2 teaspoons olive oil or non-stick spray

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
2. Divide and shape into six patties. Set aside.
3. Prepare a skillet with oil or non-stick spray on medium high heat.
4. Place the patties on the pan, careful not to break them.
5. Cook them for 3-4 minutes on each side.
6. Remove from pan and serve.

Whole Wheat Pancakes with Sauteed Apples
The pancakes came out so fluffy and flavorful enough to eat alone but even better with sauteed apples on top.

With all the excitement, I forgot to take more pictures of the food. =(
