coconut

I love when I have a vision of a recipe I want to build, and I explore my way to something new. I learned a lot with this one, mainly that raw coconut won’t be puréed with what I have available in my kitchen. After stubbornly trying to smooth it out, I finally decided to strain it. Ingredients...

Indonesian coconut chicken (Ayam panggang) We REALLY liked this. It is a good bit of work with all the ingredients, but it's worth it, especially if you make enough for more than 1 meal for 2 or enough for a crowd. I looked through a bunch of recipes and came up with my own version...

(Paleo boneless pork chop with coconut flake batter. On the side is the remnant of the egg used for the batter, and some raw shredded red cabbage as a crunchy side). This served just me, but go ahead and double or quadruple. You won’t as you will see, need to double or quadruple the egg – I’m...

I learned this in when my parents lived in San Juan. My friends LOVE them. One can Coco Lopez (no substitutions unless you just cant get this brand), coconut cream. Use the empty CC can to measure one can of not-from-concentrate pineapple juice Good quality Puerto Rican white rum -- in other...

It's a Thai curry recipe but feel free to switch around the protein and the leafy greens. Thai-Style Red Curry with Scallops and Leafy Greens 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms - reconstituted in hot tap water for at least 30 minutes. Remove any stems and slice the mushrooms once...

I have to say that I had my reservations about this cheese. I've made things in the past that used tofu and they were miserable failures. if you've ever just been served a slab of tofu, warmed slightly with no attempt made to do anything with it, not even drain it properly then you'll...

Prepared for the start of the Asian Lunar Calendar, Year of the Rat. I am adapting a recipe from Russ Crandall's book, Paleo Take Out: Restaurant Favorites without the Junk. Because I seriously prefer the dark meat of chicken, that's what I'm using here. Bone-less, skinless, chicken thigh...

GINGERED PINEAPPLE Makes 4 servings Ingredients 1 pineapple (with green leaves) 1/4 cup dark rum 1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 cup flaked or shredded coconut Directions Cut pineapple lengthwise into halves, right through the green top. Cut each half into halves. Cut core from each quarter and cut...

I have a cookery book called "Mango Soup" by Jenni Malsingh. And in that book there is a recipe for mango soup. She took two Indian dishes and combined them. She took the Gujarati idea of adding mango pulp to karli (which is a gram flour and yoghurt soup) and the Keralan idea of coconut & mango...

We've just had another of those really hot days and combined with the smoke problems, I've not been too well or able to do much at all. So when hubby spotted this recipe I thought why not? After all, the only thing that needed cooking was the brown rice and I could use the microwave for that...

I came across this recipe years ago, and printed it out, but there isn't a reference to tell me where I got it from, so I can only guess, however, I think it most likely that I got it from here (Cultured European Style Vegan Butter). Over the years though, the totally pure white of this butter...

I came across this recipe years ago, and printed it out, but there isn't a reference to tell me where I got it from (or the other one that I prefer - Cultured European Style Vegan Butter), so I can only guess, however, I think it most likely that I got it from here...

Cookbook no 4 challenge - Vegan Tofu Scramble This was another first time recipe from a book (Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen) we have used once or twice before. Luckily the list of ingredients is not as daunting to us as it would be to most. However we failed to find any Indian black salt, so...

I have finally managed to make something involving a honey substitute for the The CookingBites Recipe Challenge: Honey. It has taken me a while to say the least! I have to confess that you need your act together on this recipe. It is best if you don't let the almonds go cool after they have...

It came with all its parts, which were cut off and are cooking for some stock to use as part of braising liquid. Recipe to follow as I'm making it up as I go. It is a bit smaller than a cornish hen.

So I made 2 dishes from Small Victories by Julia Turshen. I bought this book this past March. This is the first time cooking from it. My first dish: Curried Red Lentils with Coconut Milk (serves 4) 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger 2 garlic cloves, minced 1...

This is another from my Sweet Bones cookbook for the recipe from a cook book with little to no use... It's only had little to no use because it's new. Technically I think the challenge is to use cookbooks that you've not cooked from before, but I honestly only have 1 that I purchased (3 came...
