Bangladeshi White Chicken Korma
admin February 23, 2011 No Comments Adventures in the Kitchen, Favorites, Main dishes, N's Diet (high-protein, low-carb)
This was freaking fantastic. However, having somebody else cut up the chicken (or just using quarters/breasts) would probably help. If you have a whole chicken to work with though, cut it up! Note, you probably want to have as wide of a pan/pot to cook this in, so you’re not trying to cycle the chicken […]

Spicy chickpeas with potatoes

Mexican Black Beans
admin January 31, 2011 No Comments Adventures in the Kitchen, Main dishes, N's Diet (high-protein, low-carb)
Inspired by How To Boil Water: life beyond takeout, from the Food Network. But their version is “baked mexican black beans” and I didn’t want to bake it, and they use canned tomatoes, and I don’t like them (BPA), and, well, mine’s just a touch different. 1 pound dried black beans, soaked 3 slices bacon […]
Spaghetti with Pecorino Romano and Black Pepper (Cacio E Pepe)
admin November 28, 2010 No Comments Main dishes
NOTE: High-quality ingredients are essential in this dish, most importantly, imported Pecorino Romano — not the bland domestic cheese labeled “Romano.” Use the small holes on a box grater to grate the cheese finely and the large holes to grate it coarsely. Alternatively, a food processor may be used to grate it finely: Cut the […]
