Etymology[edit] Shakshouka,or "a mixture" in Arabic.[2] Some believe that it was first known as chakchouka, a Berber word meaning a vegetable ragout,[2] Another belief is that it hails from Yemen where it is served with a dollop of zhoug, a fiery, green paste. History[edit] Individual portion of shakshouka Tunisian Shakshouka served in a pan Shakshouka is a staple of Arab cuisine (Libyan, Tunisian, Algerian, Moroccan, Egyptian, Saudi, Levantine) and Israeli cuisines, traditionally served in a cast iron pan or tajine as in Morocco with bread to mop up the tomato sauce.

Although the dish is not native to the Levant, it was brought to Israel by Maghrebi Jews as part of the mass Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim lands, where it has become a staple due to Israel's large Tunisian Jewish, Algerian Jewish and Moroccan Jewish communities.[3][4] According to food writer Claudia Roden, Tunisian cooks added artichoke hearts, potatoes and broad beans to the dish. References[edit] Sweet Bean Pie | Bean Pie Dessert Recipe | Shockingly Delicious. Print This Post We know beans, and we know pie, right? I’m confident you’re with me so far. But beans IN your pie, and for dessert? If that’s the question, the answer is YES! My daughter and I first tasted Bean Pie at the Malibu Farmers Market. We bought it from a nice young man vendor who insisted we try all his varieties. “Yes, please,” we said, as we stood there munching.

Ingredients Directions Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Notes Beantastic Beginners: Authentic Thai Red Curry Paste Recipe (พริกแกงเผ็ด) Thai curry pastes: They are one of the most ESSENTIAL components, or foundations of Thai cuisine; Pastes form the base of many dishes, from soups, to curries, to stir fries.

In Thailand you’ll find curry pastes available at all markets, fresh, but produced in mass quantities. They are normally piled high in rounded cone shapes, and you can buy by them by the 100 grams. In other countries you can normally buy Thai curry pastes in cans or tubs, Mae Ploy is one of the most famous brands. BUT… after I made this fresh curry paste, I have to tell you, NOTHING compares to the flavor of Thai curry paste when you make it yourself from fresh ingredients.

Believe me, you’ll taste the difference. There are many different types of Thai curry paste blends, but in this recipe, we’ll be making Thai red curry paste (พริกแกงเผ็ด in Thai it’s called prik gaeng ped).

After posting my Vegan Cauliflower Nachos last week, several readers asked if there was a way to make a dairy-free cheese sauce without nuts, and possibly with cauliflower instead.

Since I’ve already made a Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce, I knew a creamy sauce was possible using cauliflower, but I figured I should officially try my hand at making a dairy-free cauliflower “cheese” sauce once and for all. This dairy-free cauliflower cheese sauce is just about as healthy as it gets. It’s almost entirely vegetable-based and is lower in fat and calories than its cashew-based counterpart. It’s perfect for those who need to follow a nut-free, dairy-free, or low-fat diet. Will it fool anyone into thinking they’re eating real cheese dip? If you want a truly creamy, fake-out queso, make my cashew queso because THAT recipe will fool people. Though it does take a bit of time to roast the cauliflower for this sauce, you can be busy doing other things while it cooks. Directions: Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

Chinese-Style Hot Pot With Rich Broth, Shrimp Balls, and Dipping Sauces Recipe. Turnip Cake (Lo Bak Go) This savory turnip (sometimes called radish) cake is a very traditional dish often served at dim sum houses, and when I was a kid, it always showed up on the table on Chinese New Year’s Day. As a result, it’s been etched in my mind as a wonderfully delicious tradition. Having sampled versions of turnip cake (or lo bak go, as it’s known in Cantonese) at many dim sum restaurants over the years, I’ve come to the conclusion that they can’t be compared to our homemade recipe. The restaurants definitely skimp on the filling ingredients, including the star of the dish, the Chinese turnip. Most of what you get is rice flour and starch.

To be fair, I do have to say that adding fewer filling ingredients makes the restaurant versions much smoother–almost like pudding, if you like that consistency. Also, the Chinese turnip is a very pungent vegetable that definitely falls into the love it or hate it category. The Chinese turnip, or lo bak, is a long, white vegetable with a green top.

There are different styles of hot pot around Asia, and even within a given country, each household will do it a little differently, but if there's one universal hot pot rule, it would be this —you don't "hot pot" with people you don't like. Like fondue, hot pot is one of the most social of dining formats. There are many regional versions of hot pot throughout China.

To make a hot pot feast at home requires little more than some planning and prep work. Let's get hot-pot hopping! Hot Pot Equipment In order to hot pot, you need a pot and a burner to keep things simmering at the table. Hot Pot Ingredients Here's how to prep some of my favorite ingredients.

I have fond memories of making cookies in preschool as one of our activities. I went to a Montessori preschool back in the day, and we actually did fun stuff like that. Yes, I truly remember making cookies and the fact that they were snickerdoodles. I don’t recall how they tasted, but given that I remember doing it after 40 years or so probably means they were tasty.

Snickerdoodles also happen to be one of The Kid’s favorite cookies so we make them every now and then. Naturally as part of the experimenting and fun playing around with protein cookies, snickerdoodles had to be one of the flavors. Pretty simple to make and I’m excited to have them join their chocolate chip, birthday cake, and gingerbread friends. Copycat Lenny and Larry’s Snickerdoodle Cookies Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
