Any ideas from the foodies out there?!?!
So Tuesday is market
day. That is the one day you can be sure that you’ll have better luck with produce
as people bring in their goods from surrounding villages. This week I found
okra and lots of it!! If only my Nana was here to fry some up in cornmeal (in
my opinion that’s the most legit way of enjoying okra!). And I found eggplants.
Yum yum! So I thought HOW can I use both??
Okra, eggplant, and
tomato curry over quinoa
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
thinly1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp ground ginger (or use fresh if you have it)
3 cups okra, cut into 1/2" pieces
2 small graffiti eggplants, diced
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 Tbsp tamarind concentrate
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups cooked quinoa*
(or rice)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and
saute until it gets tender. Stir in curry powder, turmeric, and ginger, and
cook for an additional minute. Then add okra, eggplant, tomato, and tamarind
concentrate, stir well, cover, and cook until okra and eggplant are tender
(about 15 min). Add salt and pepper to taste and serve over quinoa. Serves 4.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rajah is a staple Malawian spice! |
I found this gem of a recipe here! And surprisingly I had EVERYTHING needed for this recipe (except quinoa. I hope everyone stateside is gorge themselves on my behalf. Honestly quinoa is amazing and I miss it dearly!!). It was delish! And I bought an apron for 30 cents!
I love market days!
