O abacate, apesar de ser usado como vegetal em muitos países, é botanicamente uma fruta. É nativo do México e data ao redor de 7000 a 5000 A.C. Você sabia que a palavra asteca “ahuacatl” (avocado no inglês e abacate em português) significa “testículos”? Os astecas consideravam essa fruta com formato de testículo como a fruta da fertilidade. E então era (e ainda é) considerada afrodisíaca! Não só pela parte do testículo, mas porque é uma fruta rica em vitamina E (considerada a vitamina do sexo) e vitamina B6 (que regula a testosterona)....

A small amount of chana dal is used here. The crushed spices and pudina are the key flavor enhancers. So do not skip them. Serve these with your evening cup of coffee or masala tea. A spicy chutney will be a great accompaniment with these crunchy vadas. Since I did not have coconut, I made a instant spicy red chilli garlic chutney which I have shared in the recipe card....

What exactly is couscous?? Many people think couscous is a grain, but actually they are teeny tiny balls made of semolina flour so it’s actually more of a pasta. And the beauty of the teeny size of these balls is that they are so small, they don’t need to be cooked. You literally just pour over hot liquid, leave it covered for 10 minutes, then voila! “Cooked” and ready to serve!...

Use any beans you want. Serve it as a side, stuff into tacos, pile onto nachos. Lasts for days – think meal prep and work lunches! Cowboy Bean Salad “Bean Salad” just sounds so dull. But stick the word “Cowboy” in front of it, and suddenly it sounds so much more exciting. Right? Same dish, different packaging. Age old marketing trick! 😂 Though actually, this is a riff on a salsa dish known as Cowboy Caviar in the US....

Since our new home is more centrally located, I’ve been on a hosting spree. It’s been so fun and rewarding to message friends on a whim to see if they want to swing by after work for a quick drink. And naturally, where there are quick drinks, there must also be quick food. I find that offering guests a little something to eat with their drink goes a long way to making them feel special, even it’s a friend I’ve known for years and we’re sipping Trader Joe’s wine in our sweatpants....

One of the dozens of things I didn’t know about Wisconsin when Ben coerced me to move here was that, for the past 20 years, Wisconsin has led the nation in cranberry production. Sure, the Massachusetts bogs of cranberry juice commercial fame are picturesque, but it’s plaid-clad Wisconsin that grows the largest haul. So, in addition to the state’s fabulous selection of cheese and beer, Wisconsin can boast cranberries too, and I’m glad....

Crispy Skin Salmon I’m always one for saucing up my salmon (whether it’s a honey garlic number, garlic butter or a herby cream sauce), marinating it or cooking it up in a sticky sauce. But when you know how to cook salmon so the skin is crispy from end to end, you don’t need to fuss with all that. The extra textural element and flavour you get from the crispy golden skin is all you need for a salmon dinner....

Crostini use suggestions: canapés with toppings, for dips (especially excellent with Baked Brie), side dish for meals such as Acqua Pazza (Italian Fish in Tomato Sauce), dunking into Soups and stews! “Crostini” means “little crusts” (ie. “little toasts”) in Italian and that’s exactly what they are: Thin slices of bread, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt then baked until crisp. It’s typically used to pile on toppings though I’m a fan of using crostini for dunking and scooping at every opportunity....

FavoritePinShare Hey Recipe Critic readers! Chelsea back from Chelsea’s Messy Apron! Is everyone getting geared up for Thanksgiving…or Christmas?
