Quinoa In My Curry?

Its more likely than you think. Well. it was more like curry in my quinoa. Today was Vegetarian Tuesday at The Grind. The Yankeechef offered Vegetarian Yellow Curry. Curries are some of my favorite flavors. I've made red curry in the past, but today I went with yellow curry. Yellow curries tend to be milder than red curries. I decided to serve the curry over coconut quinoa instead of the more traditional rice. I cooked the quinoa in a mix of coconut milk and water. For the curry I sauteed (or stir fried) red potatoes, squash, zucchini, peppers, onions, carrots and fresh herbs. As the veggies were cooking I seasoned with coriander, cumin, salt and pepper, and yellow curry powder. After letting the spices toast for a few minutes of letting the spices toast I deglazed the pan with vegetable stock and added coconut milk and then let everything simmer. I was happy with the end result and sold quite well. I hope to offer it again.

Today's Waffle Wednesday

The Yankeechef was told that he had an over abundance of cucumbers on hand. I like to try to utilize items that I have on hand rather than buy extra supplies. So I thought about what I could make with the cucumbers. One of my favorite sauces is the classic Greek Tzatziki. So today's waffle was the Greek Roast Beef Waffle. I made a savory waffle batter using hummus, bulgar wheat and of course lots of oregano. As you may know Greek cookery utilizes oregano often. I topped my waffle with grilled Boar's Head roast beef, red onions, tomatoes, feta cheese, and my made from scratch Tzatziki sauce. It seemed to be well received.
