1128. Carrot Curry with Kale and Paneer


This curry breaks the mold for every generic curry. It was so strange to us, but so strangely good too. For me, this has become a new favorite indeed. A flavorsome base including pureed carrots and sultanas is bulked up with coconut milk and roughly shredded kale. The seared paneer cubes are totally optional, but totally worth the extra effort.

1127. Chocolate Berry Cups


Barely a recipe, these impressive dessert cups are simply a realization of assembly. Got chocolate, dulce de leche, and fresh berries? Then you're set. Silicone cups make life easier in making the chocolate cups, but lacking these, just use cupcake liners.

1126. Russian Potato and Mushroom Saute


Discovered through an impromptu conversation about food, someone told be about the Russian potato dish that is basically a comfort food closely associated with many if not all homes of the region who are blessed with mini woods and forests. They would go every fall mushroom picking, and besides pickling their natural harvest (mushrooms just pop up, they are not planted), they would make this saute.

1125. Applesauce Cake


Every once in a while, I like to buy at least twenty golden delicious apples and make a couple jars of compote with them. I enjoy my compote for breakfast or even a light snack. Sometimes, I have a surplus, and this cake makes wonderful use of that. Combining oats, yogurt, and applesauce, I am almost tempted to call this a healthy cake, were it not for the bits of flour and sugar rendering it a healthy-ish cake.

1124. Grilled Mushroom Toasts


A hearty vegetarian meal done right will make you forget all about meat. It does help that sauteed mushrooms are somewhat meaty in and of themselves, but piling them up high over some rustic crusty toast with wads upon wads of cheese doesn't hurt either.

1123. Oat Pie


Chewy oat cookies are some of my favorites. I have a couple of reciepes here on MCW, and honestly cannot pinpoint my favorite. There is the one with raisins, another with M&M's... and now this giant oat cookie, served as a pie, swerved with a thick layer of butter frosting.
