Pork Belly Vindaloo
Labels: Kashmiri chilly, pork belly, vindaloo
I was watching Jamie (Oliver) and Jimmy's cooking show on Netflix. The first episode, Season 1 has Pork Vindaloo. I'm not fond of Indian cuisine but the bright red meat stew looked really good, I just had to try it. I adapted the recipe the show used which is available on their website.

I was reading The Clever Gut Diet Book and the author suggests eating plenty of a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables. They contain beneficial phytochemicals. I have been cooking dishes that have a combination of colorful vegetables. Baked layered rattatouille was one and it was delicious.

Pumpkin Cheese Layer Dessert
Labels: cream cheese, layer dessert, pumpkin, Thanksgiving 2017
For Thanksgiving this year, I didn't want to make pie nor bake pumpkin cheesecake. It's just too much trouble preparing crust, etc. No bake was the only way to go. I used the mashed sweet baby pumpkin I had in the freezer to shorten the prep. Canned pumpkin is also good for this recipe.

Pumpkin Bread
Labels: bread, pumpkin, water roux starter
It's Autumn and pumpkin season. I've used pumpkin puree in many different ways but not in a yeasted bread loaf. It has been a long while since I baked bread but the currently airing Korean Drama, My Golden Life, sort of enticed me to bake a loaf or two. One of the main characters is working in a bakeshop that bakes loaves with pumpkin both in the dough and filling.

A few weeks ago, I went to check out the new Filipino restaurant Bistro 1521* in Arlington, VA. The bistro is run by the same people at the permanently closed Filipino Bistro 7107. The menu has been expanded but one of my favorites at 7107, Green Jackfruit In Coconut Milk is missing.

Fava Beans Salad
Labels: fava beans, prosciutto, radish sprouts, Salad
Fava beans are supposed to be nutritiousand therefore good for you. I like them because of their buttery texture and good flavor. They are available fresh still in pods at Korean grocery stores but when aren't in season, I get the frozen ones usually from India or Portugal. I steam them for 3 minutes, peel them, then leave in the refrigerator until I'm ready to season them in butter, garlic, and sea salt.
