Shakshouka

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

Shashouka is a popular and delicious Mediterranean egg dish eaten at anytime of the day! If spice is your thing you could easily dial it up!

Feel free to customize this dish to suit your tastes as the only must have ingredients are the eggs, tomatoes, and accompanying spices. Goat cheese is a delicious tangy option, but if it isn’t your style feta, queso fresco, and leaving the cheese out completely all work beautifully here as well!

Ingredients:
 
  • 8 eggs
  • 28 oz can whole San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 1 lb eggplant (chopped)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 15 oz cherry peppers in brine (chopped, stems removed)
  • 2 Tbsp cherry pepper brine
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 oz goat cheese (*optional)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley (chopped *optional)
Instructions:
  • In a bowl add the whole canned tomatoes with their juices and squeeze the tomatoes with your hands to break them up, add the paprika, 1 tsp cumin, chopped cherry peppers, and 2 Tbsp cherry pepper brine. Stir and set aside.
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat add 1 Tbsp olive oil and the chopped onion. Cook until the onion is soft and beginning to brown about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 3 Tbsp oil and eggplant and continue to cook until the eggplant is soft about 7-10 minutes. When the eggplant is soft add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and the garlic. Toss to coat the eggplant and onion. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce your heat to medium and add your bowl of tomatoes and peppers to the pan. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup of water and stir again.
  • In the pan with the back of a spoon or rubber spatula gently make holes in the sauce and crack one egg into each hole. When all the eggs have been added cover your pan and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the egg whites are fully cooked.
  • When ready to serve sprinkle the goat cheese, ½ tsp cumin, and parsley over top. I serve this dish with GF tortillas, flat bread, or rolls. Enjoy!

Sopes

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

Pronounced “SO-pays” sopes are a delicious Mexican dish that utilizes leftovers to make a quick meal that helps to stretch the budget! Since sopes use corn masa as the base the texture lies between the chew of an arepa and the softness of a tamal (tamale). They cook up in just ten minutes, and can be filled with whatever your heart desires!

For these sopes I used the leftovers from taco night (taco meat, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco). Other common fillings include shredded meat, salsas, cheeses, shredded cabbage, radish, pickled onions. Let your imagination run wild!

Ingredients:

 

  • 2 ½ cups instant masa harina
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil or lard/bacon fat
Instructions:

  • In a bowl combine the masa harina, salt and vegetable oil or lard/bacon fat. With your hands crumble the fat into the masa harina until it has the texture of sand.
  • Slowly pour the warm water into your masa one cup at a time. The water should dissolve into the masa completely before adding the next cup. Your masa should be the texture of fresh play-doh when it's ready! Masa is not an exact science so you may need more masa harina or water to achieve the correct texture, don't sweat it!
  • Divide the prepared masa into 8 even balls. Lightly wet your hands and press the balls into approximately ½" thick circles with your palms re-wetting your hands after each circle. This prevents the masa from sticking to your hands.
  • Heat a large skillet over med-high heat or 400°F if you're using an electric skillet. Lightly grease the skillet, and when it's hot begin cooking the sopes. Cook for 2-4 minutes per side. You're looking for a *slight* golden color.
  • When your sopes have achieved the correct color move them to a baking tray, and while still warm pinch the edges to form a rim around the outside of the sopes. They should look like tiny pie crusts. This step must be done while the sopes are still warm, but be careful not to burn yourself!
  • At this point the sopes are technically done, but I like to place them back on the griddle for just a minute or two to allow the bottoms to crisp up a little more. This step is completely optional though. You do you boo!
  • Fill the sopes with whatever you've chosen. The traditional way is to begin with a smear of beans, then top with meat, cheese, and additional toppings. Enjoy!

Jeera Rice (cumin rice)

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

Jeera rice is a delicious and easy rice from the northern region of India. It’s flavorful enough to enjoy on it’s own, quick enough to make it to your weeknight rotation, and the perfect accompaniment to curries and heavily spiced dishes. Balance is the name of the game here! Cumin seeds are surprisingly high in antioxidants, iron, and help to promote digestion making this side dish not only a delicious choice, but a healthy one too!

Dairy not your thing? Try it with vegan butter!

Total Time: 30 minutes
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients:
 
  • 1 ½ cups Basmati, or long grain white rice
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 4" cinnamon sticks
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
Instructions:
  • Wash the rice until the water runs clear, drain, and set aside.
  • In a small pot over medium-high heat add the butter and allow it to melt.
  • When the butter has melted add the cumin seeds, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaf. Cook stirring constantly for 1 minute, and add the rice. Coat the rice in the butter and cook for 2 minutes longer.
  • Shut the heat to your pan off and look at your hand so your palm is facing you. Look at your index finger. The first line of your finger closest to your finger tip is the PERFECT measure for water to rice ratios. On a flat surface place your fingertip on top of the rice and fill with water until it reaches that line. Be careful of the hot pan!
  • Place the pot back over medium-high heat and bring the rice and water to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cover leaving a small gap to allow steam to escape. Follow the cook time instructions on the package for your rice. Cooking should take roughly 10-20 minutes depending upon your rice selection.
  • This recipe also works in a rice cooker if you have one available! Just place the toasted rice and spices into the cooker, cover with a the appropriate amount of water, and allow the cooker to work it's magic.
  • When your rice is cooked fluff it up with a fork or rice paddle and remove the cinnamon sticks and bay leaf. Serve with your favorite dish and enjoy!

Chickpea Vindaloo

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

A vegan version of this popular spicy and vinegar filled curry! Thought to be an Indian interpretation of the Portuguese dish “vinh d’ahlo” this dish was originally created by Portuguese travelers as a way to preserve meat by using chiles and vinegar for long voyages. When made correctly the heat will not hit you immediately and instead will slowly build as you eat it. So be sure to keep lots of water near by or serve it with this delicious mango smoothie to tame the heat!

This dish requires two specialty ingredients: Kashmiri chiles and curry leaves. Both of these ingredients are very affordable and easily found on Amazon or at your local Indian market. If you absolutely cannot find Kashmiri chiles you can substitute half paprika and half cayenne pepper, but use this substitution as a last resort as the end result will lack the unique flavor the chile provides and will be substantially hotter!

Ingredients:
 
  • 2 15 oz can chickpeas (drained)
  • 2 large yellow onions (roughly chopped)
  • 1 head garlic (about 10-12 cloves)
  • 4 Tbsp Kashmiri chile powder
  • 1 Tbsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp mustard powder (can sub prepared yellow mustard)
  • ½ tsp ground clove
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 limes (juice and zest)
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 20 dried curry leaves
Instructions:
  • In a small bowl combine: Kashmiri chile powder, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, salt, mustard powder, clove, brown sugar, lime juice and zest, brown sugar, vinegar, and stir into a paste. *Phew!*
  • In a blender or food processor finely minced or puree the onion and garlic together, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat add all of the vegetable oil, and the onion/garlic mixture. Stir well, and cook for roughly 5-10 minutes or until the water is cooked out of the onions.
  • NOTE: Because we're cooking the onion and garlic together as a paste your garlic may turn BLUE!!! SO weird! Don't worry though, it just means you have strong garlic and onions and the chemicals between the two are reacting. It is in no way dangerous and will be covered by the strong color of the spice mixture. Enjoy the cool science experiment!
  • When the water has cooked off of the onions reduce the heat to medium and add the spice paste. Stir the paste into the onions, and cook 3-5 minutes stirring constantly. Do not allow the mixture to burn.
  • Add the chickpeas to the pan and coat well in the onion and spice mixture. Crumble in the curry leaves, and add the vegetable stock. Stir well, and cook through for 5 minutes longer. If you want a thinner broth feel free to add more vegetable stock as desired.
  • Enjoy with steamed rice and a cooling smoothing!

Butternut Squash Veggie Kebabs

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

One of my favorite parts of summer are all the fresh grown vegetables! There’s no better time to make these vegetable kebabs than while the sun is bright, shining, and feeding all that delicious produce. Since we’re not using meat in this recipe I’ve used butternut squash as a grill friendly and filling alternative.

I marinade these for at least two hours prior to grilling and up to overnight. Since you’re only marinating vegetables feel free to reuse the marinade for up to a week! Sometimes I’ll make extra chopped veggies and leave them in the marinade to snack on all week. It’s so good and a great way to make boring vegetables an interesting snack!

Ingredients:
 
  • 1 large red onion
  • 1 small butternut squash
  • 2 zucchini
  • 2 yellow squash
  • 2 bell peppers (I used red and orange)
  • 16 cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (I used avocado)
  • 1 cup GF soy sauce (*or coconut aminos)
  • ¾ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce (Double check yours is GF)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup whole grain mustard
  • 1 Tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tbsp dried parsley
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl or bag mix together the oil, GF soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, mustard, steak seasoning, black pepper, cayenne, and parsley. Mix well to combine and set aside.
  • Wash and prepare all your vegetables. Chop and slice them into bite sized pieces. When the vegetables are ready place them in the bowl or bag with the marinade and coat them well.
  • Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight in the fridge. If using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least 1 hour prior to grilling.
  • When ready, skewer your vegetables and set your grill to high (around 400° F). Grill your kebabs for 6 minutes on each side or until the butternut squash is soft and the vegetables are as dark and soft as you prefer. We serve these kebabs with rice pilaf or beans. Enjoy!
