Bahamian Crayfish Curry

When Dylan and I started talking about what to make for our Bahamian dinner, he vetoed any and all conch recipes...not that we would be able to get our hands on conch anyway. He agreed to cook crayfish. To Bahamians, "crayfish" refers to Maine's tropical cousin, the rock lobster; we used langostino, a squat lobster. Close enough. So, the next question was: soup or curry. Dylan picked curry.

Interestingly enough, the Bahamian curry uses stock or boullion as its base. No coconut milk, no other spices. It seemed fairly plain. Dylan wanted to add in some vegetables. He added carrots and celery and I spiced it up and served it over Bahamian Cauliflower Custard.


minced garlic
minced ginger
sliced carrots
sliced celery
langostino tails
ground curry powder
ground cumin
chicken boullion
tomato wedges

Cook the garlic and ginger in a large flat-bottomed pan in a splash of olive oil till they are completely softened. Add in the carrots and celery and cook, again, till softened. Season with curry powder and cumin. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add in the langostino tails reduce to a simmer and cook till opaque. Add in tomato wedges and took for addtional few minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
