Exhibit A:
Cauliflower curry. I made it base on a Moosewood recipe, and it was fine. But it was just fine. Not enough liquid, not enough different textures.
Exhibit B:
Blueberry muffins. Again, these were fine, but I was hoping for great. I used this recipe. Full disclosure, I halved the butter and doubled the buttermilk, so that may have contributed. A half cup of butter just seemed excessive for muffins. But the ones I made were not worthy of the title "best blueberry muffin you'll ever have". Anyone have any great blueberry muffin recipes?
Ok, so this is a supremely dissatisfying post, but lately I have been making some dissatisfying cooking. Here's to days with exciting recipes coming up!
Here's a cauliflower curry recipe that I tried last week: http://www.cookrepublic.com/recipe-archive/cauliflower-curry/
ReplyDeleteI used more than just 2 cups of cauliflower and used the whole bag of frozen peas because I hate saving extra veggies for no reason. I probably should have boiled the potatoes for a few minutes before putting in the cauliflower. I didn't mind the texture of the cauliflower slightly overcooked, though.
For the variations she mentions, I added some half and half toward the end of cooking.
It all turned out pretty well. Kevin really liked it but I think I would almost double the spices listed next time (maybe because I used more cauliflower) because I thought it wasn't as flavorful as I wanted it to be without adding a ton of extra salt.
that looks great SAS! I will totally have to try it - thanks!
DeleteI have a really good blueberry tea cake recipe, you could probably make it into muffins. Maybe? I'll send it along if you're interested.
ReplyDeletealways interested! would love to try it!
