- Roasted Ratatouille Pasta
Easy to toss together, simple taste and you get your veggies in!
--amrita - Blackened Mushroom Tacos
Another necessity meal! Had some mushrooms and chipotle chiles in the fridge, so we had to use them. Fortunately, it turned out really well!
--adit - Penne with Poblanos and Chipotle Sauce
The chipotle sauce gives this pasta dish a unique and distinctive flavor. You may want to deseed the poblano peppers if you think it may make it too spicy. You will find the roasted red pepper bottle and the chipotle in adobo sauce in the international aisle at your local grocery store.
--ujjaini - Pan Fried Chicken with Zucchini and Brussel Sprouts
Of course there's a veggie version to this recipe, there always is :). If I was making this for Bharath and myself, I'd use tofu or paneer - large pieces that we can bread and pan-fry just like the chicken.
--pinnacle - Mediterranean Couscous Salad
This is a salad you can whip up just before leaving for work (which I did) and I had a yummy healthy lunch at work (which I usually don't).
--pinnacle - Stir Fried Chicken with Holy Basil
We had tried to replicate this favorite dish of ours many times but it was never like what we tasted at Thai restaurants. Until we found this recipe that is! You could use Thai basil or even regular basil to make this.
--ujjaini - Vietnamese Seafood Stew in a Clay Pot
Well, we do not own a clay pot so we made this in our oven-proof kitchenware and it was still phenomenal. This is really easy to make and most of the cooking time is actually in the oven. I like tilapia because its cheap and tasty but you could also use any other firm white fish such as cod or catfish.
--ujjaini - Bean Burgers
I always remember Lori when I make this because she made it frequently when we lived together. Clearly, I loved it because I am still making it :) You can make this with pinto beans as well. I have not included bread and lettuce and seasonings to actually make the burger. Use whatever you fancy!
--ujjaini - Spicy Plum Sauce
I also added back the water in which the plums were boiling to add volume. If you want, you can add half a teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken it. The sauce goes very well with sauteed tofu, vegetables, diced and sauteed/browned chicken breast pieces or simply something to put on noodles/fried rice.
--pinnacle - Crispy Kale
Not sure how many of you eat kale. We had never had it until recently and apparently had been missing out all of these years. This is a recipe for a really nice side of greens to go with anything from pasta to Asian food. Best of all it's easy and healthy. I adapted this a bit from an NYT article.
