Roasted Root Veg with Spiced Yogurt Drizzle

October 10, 2014 By Courtney West 1 Comment

So it’s been nearly a month since I’ve posted. How the heck did that happen you wonder? Well, I moved, or rather re-located if you will.  I moved back to my hometown of Houston and was welcomed with a nice humid embrace despite my yearning for fall weather. In addition to the move, I quit my archaeology job in order to figure out and create my “dream job”. So, for the first time in a very long time, I’m sort of job-less. The first week here I felt discombobulated. I couldn’t find basic things like clothes or shoes and was moving through a constant obstacle course of boxes and random stray items. This week, there’s still some boxes and stray items, but I felt it was finally time to make a plan for this space and shoot a post. It’s nice to be back 🙂

Fall is such an inspiring season for me. I LOVE it. It’s by far my favorite season to shoot recipes for and as you may have noticed, its influences sometimes find their way into other posts throughout the year. Although the weather here isn’t really screaming autumn, I’m in full on autumn mode. What better way to come back than with some beautiful fall colored root veggies?

I originally made this dish this past weekend based on an idea that had been swimming around in my head. For this version the only real change I’ve made is to add some lovely pomegranate arils for a contrast of color and a sweet/tart pop of flavor. I think it would also taste equally as delicious with a heavy sprinkling of fresh mint or parsley instead of the pomegranate.

Farm to Table: Masaledar Sem (Spicy Green Beans)

August 28, 2014 By Courtney West 1 Comment

I had no plans whatsoever of posting this recipe. It just happened to be what I fixed for dinner on Sunday evening. I liked it so much that I figured I would share it here in case you might be looking for some green bean inspiration or needing something a little different for dinner.

I actually stumbled across this recipe on Food 52 this weekend right after I had bought a big basket of green beans and some heirloom tomatoes at the farmers market. I knew I needed to cook the green beans sooner rather than later but I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with them.  Cue the Masaledar Sem recipe. It’s an Indian spiced green bean dish perfect for late summer/early fall. It starts with chile, spices, and a ginger garlic paste. I’m pretty sure anything that starts with a ginger garlic paste will be awesome.  In fact, next time I pick up some garlic, I might make some to keep on hand in my fridge or freezer. The smell alone is so amazing that it might temporarily make you forget what you were doing.

The cooking part of this goes pretty fast as long as you get your mise-en-place together beforehand. That way you are just adding things to the skillet without having to hurriedly chop, measure, etc. This dish actually gave me an idea for a really tasty soup but it will have to wait until the weather is more soup appropriate. Have a lovely holiday weekend friends 🙂
