If you knew that whatever you ate next would be your last meal, what would you want it to be?
Oh, man, do I love food! Cooking is one thing that Brett and I really enjoy doing together- along with watching cooking shows. When we watch tv together (which is actually pretty rare), it's almost always Food Network. We especially love Iron Chef and Chopped. Although our tastes are constantly evolving, there are a few specific things I'm crazy about right now. Luckily enough, they fit perfectly into a cohesive meal! Here we go- I'm including the recipes we use as well.
Appetizer:
Hummus with vegetables
(Cup of soaked garbanzo beans, heaping spoon of tahini, swirl of olive oil, squeeze of lemon, as much fresh garlic as you like, sprinkle of sea salt- whiz in the food processor until smooth)
Main entree:
Massaman curry over jasmine rice
(Click on link for recipe- I learned this by heart and now cook from memory)
Side:
Homemade, freshly-grilled naan
(Click on link- cooking it on the grill is key. One batch makes enough for two meals for us, so I freeze half and save it for next time.)
Dessert:
Rice pudding made with more jasmine rice, coconut milk, and coriander
(Use your favorite rice pudding recipe, subbing jasmine rice for regular, coconut milk for cow's milk, and coriander for most of the cinnamon. Here's a good starting recipe.)
Beverage #1:
Mango lassi made with homemade yogurt, whole milk, and a sprinkle of coriander
(In a blender: flesh of 2 mangos, tablespoon of your preferred sweetener, cup of yogurt, 1/2 cup milk....blend until smooth, and then sprinkle on coriander.)
Beverage #2:
Expresso with sweetened condensed milk :-)
...And there you have it! What would you pick for your last meal?
