baked potato · capers · fried potato · mustard · potato

Potatoes, truffle, mustard – is like the three musketeers, who really uplift each other to new levels! This is the smashed potato recipe,  which has been shared earlier with a za’atar and yoghurt condiment dressing, but for today, we are upping the game with the gorgeous What The Truff Truffle Mustard and White Truffle Oil that is whisked with garlic, salty capers, pink peppercorns and a few spring onions. This is a masterpiece recipe, but can go alongside a pasta dish, meat / fish dish or a very big Italian Lentil Salad.

Enjoy!

Finger Sandwiches for LAB

LAB X KITCHEN THERAPY X THE KITCHEN TRAIL   Finger sandwiches are an essential part of the Afternoon Tea or High Tea. It lends the wholesomeness to the in-between meal. For this menu, we aimed to cross promote the existing items that LAB makes in-house with the sole goal to make you try the various breads and understand how they can be paired with stellar ingredients. This menu consisted of two: Apple + Brie and the Edamame Hummus + Purple Cabbage   Apple + Brie: This sandwich was a super hit on the menu and converted even the staunchest traditionalist towards fusion. The soft Pumpkin Bread, which is an in-house specialty at LAB, pairs perfectly against spicy onion and thyme, along with sweet apple and savoury brie cheese. Note: in place of brie, can use any other strong flavoured cheese, like red Leicester, smoked cheese, or gouda   Edamame Hummus + Purple Cabbage: This is a beautiful play on colour and texture, where we have Ragi Bread which is indulgently healthy and coarse, paired with creamy Edamame Hummus and the best part – caramelised crispy purple cabbage. Purple cabbage is shredded into fine strip and grilled on high heat with a pat of salted butter and nothing else – it is simply delicious. Note: Edamame Hummus and Ragi Bread are both individually on sale at LAB Photography + Styling: The Kitchen Trail The Recipe Serves 2 Ingredients 2 pumpkin bread slice 1/2 tbsp honey mustard 4 thin slices of apple 2 brie slices 1 round slice of onion 1 fresh thyme sprig 1 leaf of lettuce 2 ragi bread slices 2 tbsp edamame hummus 10g purple cabbage, shredded 2 tsp butter pinch of salt Instructions Spread the honey mustard evenly and equally on both slices.

This is my ‘cool’ recipe. If you know me, you would know I am anything but cool, but this makes me feel quite young and in the zone. And I’ll tell you how uncool I can be – I tried to be fashionable with a pair of fancy sneakers that have short laces. Apparently you’re not supposed to tie them. I even put on a pair of jeans for this, and within a few steps I actually bent down to tie them up. I’m all about innovation but trainer with laces hanging untied – not so much. Kids, I tell you! Anyways, this recipe is for the kids, particularly the cool kids that don’t tie their sneakers! It is perfect for travels and is an innovative wrap to place in the tiffin box. You could hold off on the spice level, and most of the ingredients are substitutable. For example, the Greek yoghurt is better used when consumed at home, but if it’s for travels opt for cream cheese. Salsa can be replaced with pico de galle, jalapenos can be added, so can paneer shreds, lettuce, spinach, mushrooms…. You get the gist! The cool part is the roll up and serving it in a platter! The sauce is juicy enough within the roll that a side dip isn’t necessary. The Recipe Serves 2 Ingredients 2 tortillas 1/4 - 1/2 cup greek yoghurt or cream cheese 1/4 - 1/2cup shredded cheese 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp chipotle seasoning 1/4 cup boiled corn 1/4 cup spring onions, chopped 1/4 cup salsa Instructions Mix the Greek yoghurt with all the seasonings, cheese, corn, spring onions and salsa. Spread the mixture on each tortilla. Roll the tortilla and wrap with a cling film and twist the edges. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Remove from the wrap and slice with a sharp knife into maki-roll sized rolls. Serve.

Croissant Egg Sandwich

Le Artisan Boulangerie × Kitchen Therapy × The Kitchen Trail The Bread Series   This collaboration has definitely taken me down memory lane to boarding school and college days. As mentioned before about the café near my boarding school where I had lunch every Saturday – is also where I discovered that croissants can be made into very good sandwiches. It’s been a long time since I had one – simply because my body cannot afford croissants anymore. But in school – well, honestly I couldn’t afford it then either, but motivation to stay healthy was almost nil! This croissant was filled with the most delicious mayonnaise-drenched egg salad (because a croissant def needs more calories!) and crisp lettuce, tomatoes and occasionally, a slice of Swiss cheese. It’s no wonder my love handles have never disappeared! Heart attack on a plate perhaps, but I can assure this was THE most delicious sandwiches I ever had, with me left licking mayonnaise off my fingers. Now, today, umm… I’m not going to commit this sin anymore, no. I must resist. So instead I’m still playing on the same lines, but with healthier options, save for the buttery flaky croissant – because let’s face it, some things are better left as original. Le Artisan Boulangerie’s croissant is ideal for this sandwich in terms of size and of course, taste. To replace the mayonnaise, I use hung curd with some garlic, salt, pepper and spring onions (Easiest Spring Onion Dip). I use boiled egg slices, crisp lettuce and really, that’s about it. You could add a tomato, and even a slice of cheese – it all depends on the size of your thighs and love handles! Whatever you do, the croissant is so delicious, you simply can’t go wrong! (PS. Le Artisan Boulangerie also has THE BEST CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS IN AHMEDABAD!!!!) Photo Credits: The Kitchen Trail The Recipe Serves 1 Ingredients 1 croissant 2 eggs, boiled 1/4 cup Easiest Spring Onion Dip lettuce salt pepper Instructions Slice the croissant lengthwise from the side. Spread the yoghurt dip generously on both sides. Place the lettuce first and the slices of the egg. Sprinkle some salt and pepper and then cover the second side. Eat immediately!
