Summer! BBQ! Margaritas! Fresh fruit and salad! Chips! Dip!

 

I think this is way nicer than that slimy stuff from a can I used to enjoy with ruffles potato chips as a youngster.

 

Ingredients
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup Olive oil
fresh ground sea salt and black pepper
2 onions, finely sliced
1 shallot, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1⁄4 cup cream cheese, softened
1⁄4 cup greek yogurt
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Splash of hot sauce
2 green onions or handful of chives, chopped

 

Serve with chips or cut raw vegetables. Also good on sandwiches and burgers.

 

1) Heat up about 1/4 cup or more of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and add in the sliced onions and shallots.
2) Cook on med low for about 20 minutes until a nice golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3) Add in the minced garlic, salt and pepper and cook on low another few minutes to cook the garlic.
4) Add all the ingredients except the green onion or chives to a food processor and blitz until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Mix the chopped green onion in with a spoon.
5) Refridgerate for a couple hours before serving. Top with more green onion for presentation if desired.

Stuffed parathas. With spiced potato! I could eat these all day…

A little bit of work, but well worth it. Serve hot, with raita, a chutney or with curries. They can be made the day before and heated up.

Ingredients
paratha dough
2-3 medium potatoes, peeled, cooked and mashed
1/2 small white onion, diced
1 green chili, deseeded and chopped
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp dried mango powder (amchur)
1/2 tsp mild chili powder
handful chopped fresh cilantro (coriander leaves)
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
oil or ghee for cooking

1) Make the paratha dough. I used half whole wheat, half white flour for this dough. Set aside.
2) Heat up plenty of oil or ghee in a frying pan or wok. Add in the cumin seeds and cook until they start to crackle.
3) Add in the onions, chili and remaining spices. Turn the heat down and gently cook until onion is translucent.
4) Add in the mashed potatoes and combine. Add more oil if needed so the potatoes don’t dry out. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside while you roll out the first paratha.
5) Pinch off a good-sized bit of dough and roll out to a circle. It doesn’t have to be super thin. Place a golf ball-sized bit of spiced mashed potato in the center and fold up the sides over it. Gently seal it.
6) Flip over and gently push down to a thick circle, then use plenty of flour and GENTLY roll out to a wide cicular flatbread. If you push too hard with the rolling pin, the potato will ooze out of the dough. It is ok if a little of the filling breaks out. Just keep your rolling pin floured so that it doesn’t stick.
7) Repeat with the remaining dough, or for as many aloo parathas as you want to make. Keep the uncooked parathas floured and covered with a kitchen towel so they don’t dry out.
8) Heat up a cast iron skillet or heavy frying pan and brush with oil. Fry both sides of the paratha until spotted and golden brown. When it bubbles up, gently push down with a spatula. I like to brush oil on both sides as I cook it.

Serve warm. Enjoy!
