Stovetop bread

By
Oh the nostalgic smell of homemade bread baking in the house. To go with some garlic butter and wash down with coffee. First time I was doing this and I was not sure it would work out. I saw others doing this stovetop bread online so there was hope. My mom told me she made stovetop bread when I was little using a three burner countertop stove. An oven stove was a luxury in those days. Any bread dough recipe will do. Knead and rise the dough. Oil the pot. Knead the dough again and rise again, this time in the pot. Cover while cooking on the very lowest heat for about 25 minutes. Next time I will try 15 to 20 minutes because this time the bottom was too charred. I cut out the charred bottom before serving. I ate some of it as it tasted like a crunchy bread cracker. I think this needs fine tuning and I am up for the challenge. The insides were most delicious though.

*I tried it again using less time and it was perfect

Beef chow mein

By
I tried boiling the beef first to see how that affects the taste and texture. For the chow mein, I sauted a whole cut up onion in golden ray. Then I added my beef slices. I seasoned it with garlic, celery, parsley and chives. Then I added my veggie pieces - cauliflower, sweet pepper, green cabbage and pimento. I cook for about 20 minutes on low heat, adding water halfway through. I served it with my goodly stovetop bread.

Italian sada roti with local spinach

By
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and Italian seasoning. Add some cookeen in small chunks. Crumble while mixing to get even spread. Add enough water to get soft dough and knead plentiful. Add small amounts of water until you get the right feel. I formed 6 small balls. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes. That was enough time for me to put the laundry on the line to dry. If you want and what I might try in the future is adding milk and yeast. Heat pot on high but you will need to lower the heat as time goes by. Roll out dough. The size I went for was the size of pita pockets. Use dry flour to avoid sticking. Cook on each side for about 1 minute. Cut each roti in half and create a pocket in each half. Store wrapped in foil to remain moist and serve with your favorite talkari. My mom made chorai bhaji or local spinach.

Thursday ital cookup

By
Today was provisions and stew tomatoes. For provisions I used blue dasheen, sweet potato and green fig. The green fig was boiled with skin on and that make it easier to peel. I also boiled some plantain. The tomatoes were sauteed in golden ray with celery, chive, parsley, shadon beni and garlic. I added water so I would have enough sauce for the provisions. I like cooking in the early morning when the place is quiet and cool. I also have tamarind sauce as a condiment. Ital is vital.
