“I'm kind of a low-key guy

 

I can have mushrooms in just about everything and anything.

Grilled veggies on the side is a personal favourite because, well, it’s veggies and nutrition. And also because it fills up the plate, so you don’t feel like you’re really on a diet.

These mushrooms, marinated in tahini sauce with yogurt and spices, are an awesome side dish to serve. You could even add more sauce to make it more gravy-like and have it with rice. This dish is great to serve at a BBQ feast.

You can marinate any vegetable in this sauce – baby corn, zucchini, carrots, peppers… and you can even marinate paneer with some onions and peppers.

Tahini paste recipe is here.

About

Instead of mushrooms, you can use any other vegetable or paneer or potatoes.

I would avoid mixing the mushrooms with other veggies, as mushrooms release a lot of water whilst cooking and takes a while longer than other vegetables. Marinate and cook the other vegetables separately. Mushrooms require cooking at high heat, other veggies can be cooked on medium heat.

 

The Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 packet mushrooms

  • Chop the mushrooms after washing well into bite size pieces.

  • Then mix the mushrooms in, coating well on all sides.

Old Recipe Salad,Savoury Don’t be afraid to adapt new ingredients into your own techniques, and traditional ingredients into new recipes. ~ Jose Garces When I think Asian food, I rarely lean towards salad. Perhaps that is mostly because I crave the more gluttonous dishes, filled with something more substantial than say, a salad. But this recipe may change your opinion, if you are like me – a regular salad, but dressed up with a unique concoction of ginger, toasted sesame seeds and other Asian flavours, this brings the groove back to a bowl of greens. It is incredibly easy to make and you can make this ahead of time and store in an airtight jar in the fridge for a few days. The longer it stays, the stronger the flavours will get, particularly the ginger and garlic, so you could probably decrease the amount. This dressing can also be used as a marinade for veggies or a dipping sauce for fritters – it is that versatile. The best way to renew a salad is by experimenting with the dressing flavours… and the more innovative we can get, the better for our taste buds and more importantly, commitment to a healthy diet!   The RecipeServes Yields: One small bowl  |  Prep Time: 20 mins   Ingredients 2 tbsp ginger slices 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 ½ tbsp rice wine vinegar 2 tbsp soya sauce 1 tbsp honey 4 tbsp vegetable, olive or sesame oil 4 tbsp spring onions, chopped 3 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds Instructions Smash up the ginger slices a bit, to allow the juices to flow. Mix in the oil, vinegars, honey, onions, garlic and ginger. Stir in the toasted sesame seeds just before serving.

Old Recipe Salad,Old Recipe Savoury,Salads,Savoury To eat figs off the tree in the very early morning, when they have been barely touched by the sun, is one of the exquisite pleasures of the Mediterranean. Elizabeth David It seems the year of 2017 is all about balance at Kitchen Therapy – lovely salads along with decadent desserts! We have a ton of exciting new things in the pipelines for the future; currently we have our hands in a few too many baskets so we are going to have to figure out a way to channelize our focus and prepare for the best. I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the new year already! Today’s recipe is a great way to use fresh figs and update it with a fancy flair, churning out a restaurant-like appetizer. It is embarrassingly easy to make, but incredibly sophisticated, impressing any food-snob. Figs, blue cheese and balsamic go together like bees and honey. The combination of texture and senses create fireworks in your mouth. The recipe is as simple as combining the marinade together, soaking the figs in, and then grilling them, and assembling on a plate with some lettuce, blue cheese and roasted pecans. Then reduce the remaining of the marinade into a thicker glaze and pour over the salad for dressing. I mean, if you’re going to be the host, might as well be hostess with the mostest! [yumprint-recipe id=’114′] The RecipeServes Serves: 2 | Prep Time: 35 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins Ingredients ¼ cup balsamic vinegar 1 tsp olive oil 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp salt 5 figs, quartered Lettuce Pecans Blue cheese, crumbled Instructions Stir the balsamic vinegar with the olive oil, sugar, honey and salt in a small casserole/dish. Place the figs in the marinade for at least 20-30 minutes. After the figs have been well soaked, heat a non-stick pan on high. Place the figs in the hot pan and let them grill on all sides (around 10 minutes). Hold back some of the marinade. Once the figs are done, remove from the pan and add the rest of the marinade into the pan, lower the heat, and stir continuously until the sauce thickens. To assemble, place the lettuce first, then the grilled figs, and sprinkle the blue cheese and pecans on top. Drizzle the thickened balsamic marinade over the lettuce leaves.

Old Recipe Salad,Salads,Savoury Salads make for many kinds reactions – I am referring to those that respond with grunts, faces and cries, in particular. I try to incorporate a salad for at least one meal a day and trying to spruce it up each time can get rather trying. And for those homes that have a limited palate for various veggies (like mine), this can be even more frustrating. The biggest challenge for me is to create salads from a basic list of ingredients, with a different taste each time. Tough? Very! As a formula, most cooks/chefs/wannabe chefs (me) try to stick to a salt+sweet+spice+sour+crunch one. This is not something I achieve each time, but I try my best. Here, is a salad I have served a few times already, each time with a variation. This isn’t exactly a Moroccan salad – I just label it so due to a few of the ingredients – mint, pistachios, sumac – but this does not provide any authenticity – this is completely my own version! I chose this salad today, as I received some more parcels of beautiful fresh organic carrots from a farm and they were begging to be grated! The unhealthy part of this salad is the fried onions! This is simply to satisfy my craving for something fried! They provide the perfect crunch and brainwash you into eating more of the salad. The sour hints come from a pinch of za’atar – a beautiful medley of thyme, sumac, sesame, salt and other herbs from the Middle East. The sweetness is in the cranberries if you opt for them (I didn’t today). And some of the spice can come from a pungent cheese like goat cheese (I didn’t choose this either today). Other options that you could add are boiled chickpeas, pine nuts, grilled peppers, haloumi cheese… basically anything you really like. Make the dressing ahead of time to allow the garlic to infuse into the oil. Combine in the fried onions just before serving to ensure the crunch.   The RecipeServes Serves: 2 | Prep Time: 45 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins Ingredients 2 carrots, grated Handful of pistachios, chopped or flaked ½ cup fresh mint leaves ¼ cup sliced olives ¼ cup cranberries (optional) Few spoons of goat cheese (optional) ½ onion, sliced ½ cup oil to fry Dressing: 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp dried mint leaves 1 tsp za’atar powder 2 garlic cloves, minced Salt to taste Instructions Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions until browned and crisp. Remove from the oil and place on a dry paper towel to blot the excess oil. Allow to cool. Combine the carrots, mint leaves, olives, cranberries and cheese. Combine the dressing ingredients together and mix well. Pour the dressing and place the onions on top just before serving.
