lol.
I don't think his veganism bothers me as much as his inability to handle spicy food. It's the one thing that truly makes us incompatible food wise.
Right now, it's a lot of the healthier indian dishes I mentioned on the other thread. A dish called dopalam (sp?) that's based on a seasonal gourd, is very spicy (minus red chili for him), and has a touch of jaggery. It's a favorite recipe I got from my grandmother and I'm happy he loves it. He eats enough lentils, so it's not a special meal. I make great lentils tho.
I just linked this dish:
http://www.suite101.com/content/ulava-charu-horse-gram-soup-a56138
which I haven't had in years. I plan to make it for him this week.
Once he at least starts eating dairy and getting tubby we'll get more interesting. For example, I'm a big fan of deep frying things and then dumping them in plain whole milk yogurt. Thinly sliced eggplant that's been heavily salted is good for this. |

Date: September 6th, 2010 1:35 AM Author: racy codepig I marinade the chicken in cholula and a little bit of olive oil+salt for a few hours. Than chop into very small pieces and fry it up with some paprika and whatever else I have on hand. Otherwise just good cheddar cheese and fresh chopped tomatoes, onions and lettuce. I don't know why people like it so much, there's nothing special that I really do.
I might even be a little offended. I think I make better dishes but that's what everyone likes best. |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:38 AM Author: Fluffy wine rehab lol that sounds really good i think it might steal your recipe! here's how i make a quesadilla: take a flour tortilla, put shredded cheese and spinach, fold. put it in the microwave for 40 seconds and add tabasco sauce. it's soooo good and takes less than 2 minutes to prepare.

|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:41 AM Author: racy codepig I used to microwave cheese quesadllas. It's good and definitely super fast. I use low carb tortillas now though so they need to be baked. They never taste right unless they're toasted.
Marinating chicken in cholula works for everything btw. I use it in all my Italian dishes and everything. The cholula taste isn't noticeable once you fry it up, it just tenderizes the chicken nicely. |

|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:35 AM Author: exhilarant range macaca If it were a man other than my own?
Probably slow roasted rack of lamb with high quality ev olive oil, either with
1. a relish of seeded pomogranate (yes it can be done) chopped fresh mint, pomogranate mollasses/juice, lemon juice, cumin, salt, black pepper, and a few other things.
or
2. dry rub of white cumin, green cardomom, cloves,jaggery, garlic, ginger, red chili, ground almonds, sesame seed
Depending on what I go with, a side of deep fried salty eggplant left overnight in whole milk yogurt at room temp, a parsley salad, a tomato salad, fried lentil/bulgur balls, fresh cheese and olive oil for dipping, parathas, simple sliced avocado, etc.
Remember that the meal must leave the man ready for a night of loving. |
