Food What are you cooking tonight!?
- Thread starter Swanky
- Start date
Not tonight but this morning. I've been exploring various bean pastes from the international grocery store - and Wegman's Tom Tom sauce which is a spicy miso paste (I don't know how Wegman's does it sometimes. They work hard to capture food or flavors, I just wish I lived near one where the majority of shoppers bought similar foods to keep them on the shelf).
I made grits this morning with butter and a splash of half&half. Added a teaspoon of the spicy bean paste, crushed red pepper and spicy creole seasoning with fresh bacon crumbles in the bowl.
OMG!. I think I can categorize this as an umami meal to start my day.
I love grits and all kinds of rice (you cannot take SC out of the girl). I image this is similar to a rice porridge with bean paste added in flavor quotient.
Going to try this with an XO sauce once I find a good one.
I've eaten grits for dinner and look forward to this as an evening meal maybe in the fall.

Chickpea-Powered Mediterranean Couscous with Zucchini & Grape Tomatoes!
(I have HelloFresh/EveryPlate/Blue Apron but rarely buy the actual boxes unless I have a coupon. I skip almost every week but save recipes I like and buy the ingredients myself, haha! This one is HelloFresh.)

Fried chunks of pork belly to eat with various dipping sauces. Life of a bachelorette!
A simple recipe: Cauliflower florets sautéed in oil with garlic slices and a few chili peppers. The key is to keep the cauliflower florets on the slightly crisp side. I will sprinkle it with whatever herbs I have in the fridge and maybe eat it over pasta or rice, not sure yet. Improvising as I go! 
for the week ahead!
Cauliflower curry and basmati rice. This is no "real" curry whatsoever, it's basically curry-flavoured beef stew with cauliflower florets in a creamy sauce but it's a family favourite.
