Official Dinner Thread for Tuesday the 1st

[Andy M.]

We did NOT have American Chop Suey for dinner tonight.

I was thinking about the recipe and had a flash. What if I substituted Italian sausage for the ground beef? Then I could call it Italian Chop Suey! So that's what I did. I also added some Italian seasoning.

It looks about the same and tastes pretty good!

A deconstructed (Vegan) Chicken Pot Pie ( this is just a pic of the sauce), and a Vegan Baked Broccoli with Cheese.

We had a "scrounge night". We managed to finish most of the cold cuts that were getting near their expiry.

Breaded chicken cutlet, Knorr creamy chicken pasta & rice side, and steamed asparagus (topped with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano & pecorino Romano cheeses).

Being outside, and busy with garden stuff (it's that time!), last night I made a quick cooked cucumber dal, with a sort of pachadi on the side. The pachadi had the rest of the cucumbers in id, along with some carrot, also shredded, and a mix of cooked brown rice and barley (frozen about a week ago). Tonight, I had the leftovers from that, plus some miniature khakhra, made with 4 different whole grain flours. The khakhra are miniature crispy ones, which I pressed with a tortilla press, and weighted them briefly in the pan with some ramekins - tried a heavy pan, but they stuck to it!

Made my first ever Bouillabaisse. It was very nice. I posted the recipe if anyone is interested.

Pepperhead, I've never heard or seen that kind of dish with cucumbers and coconut before. It caught my interest because I have some coconut flesh I froze and it would be nice to find a main dish with some in it. Is this pachadi, savory? Is it eaten in a bowl, or on bread (like your crispy bread shown)?

We had breakfast for supper. We split a four egg mushroom omelet with tarragon and Havarti cheese and each had two strips of bacon. Then I made Fluffy, Fluffy pancakes with added blueberries. Ever since I found this recipe it's been our absolute favorite. The last pancake bakes up just as light as the first.

blissful I think you must mean the carrot that I put with the cucumber (I thought that maybe I had mis-typed it, so I read it thoroughly, and no coconut mentioned). But here is the recipe I based it on - pretty much the same, except for that barley I had with my rice. They don't call it a pachadi - I just called it that since it is basically the same as one, with the brown rice added.

Here is a coconut pachadi, with no cucumber, however. They use the word pachadi interchangeably with raita, in the southern regions, and they almost always have the tempering spices added.

When they call for "curds", they are referring to yogurt.
