Stovetop bread

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

Butternut squash, potato and carrot mush

I used what I had to make a mush. Cut up the veggies into small pieces and cookdown covered on low heat with golden ray for about 30 minutes. Seasoned with fresh seasoning, Italian seasoning and maggi seasoning. Served with homemade stovetop bread with garlic butter. Same bread recipe as yesterday but without the cookeen and used less cooking time and it came out perfect. I drizzled some tamarind sauce on the mush. Man this tasted so good.

Tropical Banana Pudding

This works best with overripe bananas but just ripe bananas will work too. When the banana is overripe, the taste and consistency is like a barbadine drink. Simply place the banana in some milk and use a fork to break apart the banana. The consistency should be lumpy. You can then add coffee or flax seed powder or walnuts or any sort of healthy addition that you like. In the photo I did not have overripe bananas that day.

Thursday ital cookup

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.
