Recently my cooking has been sub par. So to re-inspire my cooking I decided to post two of my favorites from the late spring and early summer. I've got a lot of back logged recipes to share with you all. Here's a taste :)
Veggie Burgers
(I feel bad that I can't remember where I found the recipe that I adapted this from.) Paired it with home made pita chips, hummus, and fried zucchini.
1. Peel 2 pounds of red potatoes
2. Boil potatoes until soft. Drain and let cool
3. In a small bowl, combine:
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
½ tsp freshly ground
1 tsp salt
4. In a food processor, combine
1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup coarsely chopped carrot
1 jalapeño, seeded and quartered
¼ cup coarsely chopped red onion
5. In a large bowl, mash potatoes
6. Then add 1 cup dry bread crumbs, spice mix, and chick pea mixture
7. Form into patties
8. Pan Fry
9. Top burgers with:
Sautéed spinach and onion
Feta cheese
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
I always make a pie for major holidays. Nathan requested strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I used my moms crust recipe and then a new filling recipe. Flavor, big stars! But, it was the runniest pie I have ever made!
