Poached pumpkin. Mixed Grains. Asparagus.



Recipe: Afghan sweet poached pumpkin


This way of cooking pumpkin, based on a recipe from Afghanistan, is very moist, with the sweetness of the cooking liquid nicely balanced by the tangy yoghurt.

Not only is this a good winter accompaniment for lamb, it is a harmonious partner for a simple rice pilaf.


Blog Post: Quick Tip: Try Mixing Grains!


Because the two grains cooked at different speeds, quinoa melted into the longer-cooking rice and gave a creaminess to the whole dish ... I'll start by using the average amount of liquid required between all the grains and then approximating cooking time based on the grain that will take the longest to cook. This will definitely be a "taste and adjust as needed" kind of experiment!

Have you ever cooked mixed grains? Which combinations do you recommend?
