It's been awhile since I've done a what I'm cooking post. Mainly because the farm subscription has been boring. I understand it was winter, things don't really grow in the winter, but MAN did I ever get tired of greens. However, two weeks ago I got a two handfuls of long green hot peppers (I looked it up and this was the best name I could find), which gave me pause. In the past, hot peppers would not have been a problem, I would just chop them up and add them to everything. But since Babes has been with us, I can't take the heat, and she can't either. So what's a woman to do with the hot pepper bounty?
CHUTNEY! I don't think I've ever had chutney before this winter when NY galpal and I went to do a cooking class at
Camaje. In the class we did a whole Indian menu, and most of it was pretty simple, and Chutney is SO good. Which is what I ended up doing at home too. It started off as "well let me make chutney with these hot peppers" And then since it was vegetarian night I thought I would make
Eggplant fritters with the eggplant in the fridge, but instead of making them Italian like the recipe called for I added a barrage of spices to turn them into
Curried eggplant fritters. Add some random stir fried veggies, and
curried Indian chickpeas and you have this:

In other news, I have been knitting a flurry of baby related items. For my new niece (Welcome to the world Niecey!), And for two little boys that are due to arrive in our community before the fall. So just for the awww factor, here are a some baby booties for your viewing pleasure. All were knit with local self striping yarn. I love this stuff, except for the tendency for the stripes to not knit out the same. |
