What Was on Your Plate? And What's For Dinner Tonight 11/11

[Kchurchill5]

Hey everyone, trying a new daily post of What's For Dinner. See if we can get more people involved.

DG, I hope you got my message, hope we can do this together maybe. Let me know.
Rather than the ongoing post which I do monthly; this daily post will show up on the front page as a new topic and will be easier to find.

Everyone pls comment, and give me any comments.
--------------------------------------

We will see how this goes.

So ... First post.

Tonight, Ladies #1 and #2: Heading to some event - taking over http://www.food.com/…/cracker-barrels-h ... casserole-…; I don't think it is authentic Cracker Barrel, but they love it.

Me: I have been asked to attend a promotional cocktail party for a new restaurant. Not always my favorite thing; but, a fellow chef asked me to go. I guess I will have to get out the high heels. So, I think an early lunch for me; then, I'll enjoy the party. Being a restaurant party ... there is usually always plenty of food.

I also need to find a good biscuit recipe here. Need to make some this weekend. ME and BAKING do NOT like one another. I can bake, just don't like it. Need to make 6 dozen, OMG!!!

Trying a new Indian recipe

SPICED INDIAN RICE WITH SPINACH & CASHEW NUTS

2 tbs oil

1 tbs ghee or unsalted butter

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

3 tomatoes, finely chopped and de-seeded

10oz easy cook brown rice

1tsp ground coriander

1tsp ground cumin

2 carrots, coarsely grated

1¼ pints boiling vegetable stock

6oz baby spinach leaves, washed

2 oz unsalted cashew nuts, toasted



Heat oil and ghee (or butter) in a pan, add onion and fry gently for 6-7 mins until soft. Add garlic and chopped tomatoes and cook for 2 more mins.

Rinse rice under cold water and add to pan. Add coriander and cumin and stir. Turn off heat and put into slow cooker pot. Stir in carrots and add stock. Season to taste. Put slow cooker on High and cook for 1 hour.

Place spinach on top of rice and leave to cook for 30-40 mins so the spinach has wilted and rice is cooked. When cooked, stir spinach into rice and season further if required. Sprinkle with toasted cashews and serve.
