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

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.

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.

Mash potato and coconut stew chicken with red beans

By
Mash is simple. Perfectly boiled potato pieces. Not too soft and not hard. Mash together with kerrygold butter and full cream milk. Butter first so that it can melt with the heat of the boiled potato. Any stew chicken recipe will do but add coconut milk and canned red beans that have been drained and rinsed. Add the beans at the start after browning so that it softens while the chicken cooks. Let the water boil down to a medium thick saucy texture. I did not have parsley but that would have made this better. Also golden ray butter was added to the stew chicken.
