Well, this is going to be a real stretch for me. I suck at writing and I make up most of my recipes as I go along. I'm going to try my best to make some sense of how I cook. I'll probably end up writing about techniques more than measuring out amounts. I once had to write out some precise recipes for a cookbook and it was SO hard for me.
Cauliflower & Potato Curry
1/2 part ghee
1/2 part grapeseed oil
I use enough to fully cover the bottom of the pan.
1 large red onion cut in large slices, however you like (I cut them big to show up in the curry)
Ginger, as much ginger as you are willing to put in the pot, diced.
Your favorite curry blend (I use what I have on hand, usually my own mixture0
1 or 2 cinnamon sticks
5 medium russet potatoes cut into large chunks (I do my best to use organic potatoes)
*** a note about organic, please see Environmental Working Group
2 medium sweet potatoes cut into large chunks
3 small heads of cauliflower
13.5 oz of coconut milk
28 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes (I crush them myself) & add the juice
Cilantro, if you like it.
On low heat, add oils, spices and ginger. Cook for just a few minutes and then add onions. Cook for just another few minutes. I try to get a little color on the onions. Add potatoes, stir to coat well in spices. Add coconut milk and tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes, probably until they are half way done. Then add the cauliflower and cover. Simmer until the cauliflower is just tender. If you cook it too long the cauliflower will become mushy. Add chopped cilantro if you like it. I do.
I'll add a few other recipes tomorrow.
Oh, this serves a whole heck of a lot of people. Precise, huh?
ReplyDeletehey, how close is close enough to join up?
ReplyDeleteJenny - some coops meet weekly and everyone brings their food and redistributes it. We have chosen to each take a day and deliver our food to everyone else. So you'd need to live close enough that we can all drive to your place and you can drive to ours. We all live in SW austin. Love to have you mama but I think you are far away, right?
ReplyDeleteyep, we're north, near braker and lamar. maybe johnna and i will start our own! we'll still probably copy you though!
ReplyDeleteYou really should start one Jenny! This all started because I saw several FB posts from mamas in coops. It intrigued me - I got to sub in on Sunni and Claire G's coop in May/June. That experience was enough push for me to create our own in July. I collected info from three other coops while investigating how they work and am happy to share with you. Once you do one, there's no going back in my opinion.
