Mélange - Appetizers
2008-03-16 03:51:00 Over the last couple of weeks, we made a variety of appetizers that turned out to be insanely simple and totally delightful. Delicious enough that every time I looked at the pictures, I went "Ahhh!" and then balked at the idea of writing a post about each of these :)So, the idea of this Mélange series was born. We often end up making an assortment of nibbles/dips/desserts, usually for a party, but these usually don't get written about. This consolidated post seems like a good idea for bunching together some of these long overdue posts.So, without much further ado, I'll start babbling about several nibbles that were insanely easy to assemble and totally kicked ass!***Lavash topped with Brie and Pear ChutneyLavash is a soft thin yeast bread of Armenian origin - really simple flavours derived from a combination of flour, water and salt.

Mix-Vegetable and Coconut Milk Soup (Healthy and Wholesome)
2008-02-20 19:13:00 When it comes to soup recipes, we tend to go after the tried and tested combinations more often than not. Even I used to do the same, because some recipes and flavors just stick with us and we don't feel the urge to try something new. But this time around, as I mulled over the idea of a wholesome vegetarian soup, there were quite a few ideas that played in my head. I wanted it to be thick and creamy, yet without all the fat that heavy cream brings with it, and I wanted it to be flavorful as well as healthy. So guess what! I decided to try a mix-vegetable soup (a nice way to throw in all the veggies that you love!:)) combined with coconut milk. To give it that distinct flavor, I decided to roast/saute the ingredients and flavor them with spices which infused a higher taste and aroma. The boiled and cooked veggies also leave water which eliminates the need to add artificial broth, and the addition of coconut milk gave it the thick texture and consistency that I was looking for!I have...

Panchvati Garlic Dal (Mixed Lentil Soup) - A Healthier Choice
2008-01-30 19:05:00 "Dal", or Lentils, are a part of the staple food for Indians, and hence it gets tricky to come up with different variations that can make this daily bowl of soup/dal more interesting. Almost every one has a tried-and-tested dal recipe, and it's a challenge to drift away from that and try something new! especially when that's a main course deal you are counting one:) But bored with the regular style of Dal we eat every time with rice, I decied it was time to try something new. So i made this Panchvati Dal (totally a name I concocted!) which combines 5 different types of lentils cooked together, and flavored with garlic, spices, ghee, green chilies and quite a bit of cilantro. The mixture of dals gives this a nice thick texture, and the aroma of ghee (clarified butter) makes it a treat to consume even by itself, perhaps as a lentil soup! For the Indian palette, combine it with parathas or plain Jeera Rice, and you are all set for a delicious meal!IngredientsI used 5 kinds of lentils...

Cherry Tomatoes Stuffed with Cilantro Pesto Recipe
2008-01-11 23:00:00 A while back I posted a recipe for vegan cilantro pesto and I've been having fun finding new ways to use it. Recently I stuffed cherry tomatoes with it and really liked the results. Ingredients 12 cherry tomatoes 2 cups loosely packed cilantro (stems removed) 2 tablespoons slivered almonds 2 tablespoons vegan parmesan like Parma (or regular Parmesan if you prefer) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cloves garlic 2-4 teaspoons water (depending on desired consistency) 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Directions Blend everything but the tomatoes in a food processor and blend until smooth. Use more or less water to get the thickness you desire for the pesto. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and scoop out the insides with a small spoon or melon baller. Use a small spoon to fill tomatoes with pesto. Chill and serve. See Also Raw Vegan Cilantro Pesto Recipe Cilantro Lime Dressing Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe Growing Cilantro

Roasted Cauliflower and Bell Pepper Soup
2008-01-02 19:34:00 I think the major reason people flock to the western coasts of California is the beautiful weather that we are blessed with. But looks like mother nature is playing games with this blessing that we have started taking for granted. It's been record lows this winter, and we have to turn on the heater every night! Well, not that I should complain a lot though, because a lot of my friends in the east coast have a way more hard time shovelling their driveways and uncovering their snow-clad cars in the morning, layered themselves in jerseys and overcoats. Anyways, one of the ways I think we can comfort ourselves against the cold is fuel our bodies with something hot, healthy and delicious. Yes, you guessed it right - Soups! Generally when we think about making soups, we go with chosen favorites like tomatoes, pumpkins, mushrooms, chicken or veggies in a creamy broth. But recently I came across a cauliflower soup recipe on Southern Living, and it caught my eye. I had also seen a tomato-be...

Shiitake Mushroom and Bleu Cheese Crostini
2007-12-04 20:18:00 As the holiday season turns into full swing, you'll find yourself playing a host more often than you think. Sometimes it's nice to know a simple yet presentable dish that will not suck all your energy and yet pay justice to the occassion. Toda I share with you one such appetizer recipe, the Shiitake Mushroom Crostini, an italian first-course meal, similar to "bruschetta", but it also serves well on a dinner plate when you are not too keen on consuming a heavy meal. That's precisely how we finished ours yesterday. The Shiitake mushrooms have a unique taste, and though you can replace this recipe with your choice of mushrooms, the former work better with the cream sauce, garlic and chives. The garlic and the bleu cheese are of course, the essence of this dish. I've used simple bread for the base, but you can even try the flavored ones that we get these days in stores and places like Panera Bread!Ingredients2 tbsp butter2 cups fresh shiitake mushrooms - cleaned and chopped2 cloves ...

Vegetarian Hot and Sour Soup - Chinese Soup, Indian Style
2007-11-26 05:03:00 For anyone who loves soups, there is one name, besides the famous Tomato Soup, which would surely go into their favourites for its unique smell, taste and flavor, and that is undoubtedly, the Hot and Sour Soup. This soy-sauce based chinese soup has the right blend of sourness and chili, providing a spicy kick which is offset by a bit of sugar that the recipe demands, and also the use of veggies and spring onions. Made of simple ingredients, this soup does not take a lot of your time, and is great for people suffering from cold. The use of pepper and ginger help in controlling appetite, and the taste is just too good for your tongue and will continue to linger in your mind even after you have finished the entire bowl!! I have indianised the traditional chinese recipe a bit to suit my palette, but basically, feel free to use your choice of vegetables so it works best for you.Ingredients2 tbsp Chili Sauce11/2 tbsp Corn Flour / Corn Starch1-1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce2 tbsp Vinegar2 tbsp Capsicu...

Roasted Pumpkin and Onion Bisque (Soup) - Thanksgiving Appetizer!
2007-11-16 19:01:00 As we drift into longer and more chillier nights, and await the first snow, our tongues and minds crave for something hot, comforting and tantalizing. And with Thanksgiving round the corner, we are also looking for recipes that would fit the occasion. And this is one time of the year when you cannot ignore pumpkins, which are mainly cultivated in western hemisphere, and are commonly found in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and India. Honestly, I haven't been a great fan of using this in my recipes, maybe because I haven't developed the taste for it. But 3 days ago I tried the pumpkin soup at my cafe and the flavor struck a chord. It was creamy, rich, a bit of sweet with a touch of onions and savored with italian herbs. And the mere look of the bisque was inviting and soothing at the same time. So I thought I have to share this with my other readers who might have shied away from pumpkin recipes just like me and would never realize how wonderful this recipe could be! ...

Italian Bruschetta - A perfect blend of tomatoes, onions and herbs on garli
2007-11-12 21:17:00 Bruschetta is a traditional Italian appetizer or antipasti, as you see it listed in a menu in an Italian restaurant, and definitely my favorite! I love bruschetta, especially the one that they serve over at the CheeseCake factory. They bake a special bread which is more fluffy, like a pizza base; but the traditional bruschetta is supposed to have a hard italian crusty bread for a base, and is topped with tomatoes, garlic, and basil, in the least. I like my own version though, which also includes onions and parmesan cheese:) So here's my recipe for this tasty snack which is very simple and easy to make, and healthy too! Ooh! I still have the lovely smell of garlic and the tomatoes and herbs in my nose!!Ingredients4 large ripe and juicy tomatoes1 garlic clove, minced1/2 cup onions - chopped finely1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves - chopped1 tbsp dry oregano flakesSalt and freshly ground pepper to taste1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (goat cheese or mozarella tastes great too...

Veg Tom-Kha Gai (Thai Soup)
2007-10-03 19:06:00 We generally think of soups when we want to eat something healthy, or just need a tasty appetizer. And though Tomato soup has always been my favourite, another one that comes really close is the Tom-Kha Gai - a vegetarian Thai soup based in coconut milk that has Asian herbs and spices to impart a delicate tangy and spicy flavor. I'm sure people who've been to Thai restaurants must have tried this one; we always order a large family-size bowl of Tom-Kha Gai which forms a major part of my Thai meal:) This soup is easy to make, but it does use specific herbs so I'd advise you to plan for it and visit asian grocery stores (or even the asian foods section in supermarkets) to get all the ingredients in advance. But believe me, your efforts will surely pay off when you taste this delicious soup!Ingredients1 cup coconut milk2 stalks of lemon grass (fresh or frozen)1 cup vegetable stock (or water)2 tbsp lime juice4-5 Lime leaves (available in grocery stores, asian food section)2-3 serrano...
