02.07.2007 | Author: Mariam | Posted in Cooking and Recipes, Pasta, Rice and Bread

i know i keep saying that i’ll update with some regularity. and i mean it, i really do. i just haven’t had much of a chance lately.

i cooked these a few weeks ago:


beef chow mein, hong kong style


shrimp and water chestnut toasts


greek-persian style pizza


sauteed kale with garlicy yogurt sauce

here’s the recipe for the pizza:
4 slices afghani flatbread (or substitute barbari or pita)
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 t dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 cup bottled roasted red bell peppers, roughly chopped
2 t capers

1. preheat the oven to 400. mix tomato paste, oregano, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
2. spread the tomato mixture evenly on the slices of flatbread. dividing the remaining ingredients into quarters, sprinkle each ingredient on top of the pizzas.
3. bake for 10 minutes, until slightly crisp.

    hong kong style chow mein is my favorite, but i always shudder to think of how much oil it must take to get the noodles that crispy.

    amazingly, not that much! i use about three tablespoons and the noodles come out crispy. they absorb a lot less than i thought they would.

    i tossed the recipe for the kale, but if i remember correctly, i sauteed a minced clove of garlic with 1/2 of a minced red bell pepper for about 2 minutes. then i added chopped kale and sauteed with a bit of salt and pepper for about 5 minutes. meanwhile, i mixed 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/4 cup tahini, 1/2 squeezed meyer lemon, one clove minced garlic, and salt and pepper. while the kale is on the stove, take a small saute pan and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat and add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. warm the flavored oil for 3 minutes.

    to serve, place kale in a serving bowl, top with the yogurt sauce, and drizzle the flavored oil over it.
