Persian Rice

Brought this to an oyster bake (since we weren't gonna eat any oysters) and everyone loved it! It's a made-up version of something we had a few times at an Iranian restaurant in California.

rice
lentils (French green ones cook quickly & have a pepper-y flavor)
onions
garlic
dried dates (or raisins)
dried cherries
almonds
tumeric
paprika
garlic
salt
pepper

Cook lentils and rice (as much as you want). On the side, fry onions, garlic, and spices together...then thrown in the fruits and carmelize. Mix all with the lentils and rice, add more fruit and nuts. The dates or raisins will get mushy and sweet and sort of melt into the dish. Sweet-n-savory. Yummmmmm.

Club Med

Our Mediterranean feast (most from the olive bar at Harris Teeter).

More Wraps

We were on a wrap roll. This time we added some bananas & soyrizo (vegan version of chorizo, a Mexican sausage).

Mexisouthern Wraps

A little bit of Mexico, a little bit of the southern US, a little bit of weirdness. Que rico! Muy bueno! You know it was good! Here's what we used:

fried sweet potatoes

Tapatio hot sauce
