Nom Nom Nom Naan NOM
Yeeah… so a bunch of years ago I made some killer naan (ask Kari and John) but somewhere in between I lost my notes, and my mojo, and ended up making bread with vaguely naan type flavors. The family liked…
Chicken Koobideh Kabobs
Koobideh are Persian ground meat kabobs, so a bit different from the normal US fare, but they’re delightfully rich and aromatic. Cooked on the grill, it’s the perfect sort of dish for a hot summer’s night. For this version I…
Moroccan Pastilla

Not-Shahi-Paneer

Steak au Poivre (-ish)
Cook me like one of those French grills Okay, this is one of those things that are simple, but you’ll pay a lot for in a restaurant. It’s not necessarily easy, but it’s simple. The trick is in the meat,…
Creamy Tomato Chicken Curry
Well, that’s what I’m calling it for now, anyway. Maybe someone can identify it for me. Anyway, this was partially borne from me wanting more curries under my belt, and partially influenced by Elderdottir’s particular condition where certain things can overcome…
