Deliciousness!
The Bon Appetit October issue has been good to us the past couple weeks, especially this weekend. I came home from a Diwali pooja yesterday to find a feast awaiting, cooked by my very own Chez Theo. He made Lime- and Honey-Glazed Salmon sitting atop Basmati and Broccolini, accompanied by Moroccan Rainbow Carrots (from the Nov. issue). So tasty! Theo cooked the rice in mushroom broth. Then he topped the dish with a sauce made up of lime, honey, cilantro, and soy sauce. The rice absorbed a lot of the citrus and tangy flavors and went perfectly with the salmon and broccolini.
We enjoyed last night's meal so much that we decided to try another couple recipes from this month's Bon Appetit. Tonight we made Spaghetti with Braised Kale, a recipe shared by my favorite foodie blogger (and now Bon Appetit writer) Orangette. Another big success with the spaghetti and kale dish. The kale was deliciously sweet and hearty and went well with the caramelized onion and garlic that went into the dish along with the spaghetti. I also made an attempt at brussels sprout chips, which were part of a different recipe that went with a fish dish and roasted sweet potatoes. The brussel sprout chips were not as exciting as I had hoped. They did not really crisp evenly so some leaves were still green while others were charred. I think sweet potatoes make for much better chips since they have a flat even structure that cook evenly.
Happy Diwali and bon appetit!
