Vegetarian Nihari (Spicy Tofu Recipe) [
via]
One of my most favorite Indian dishes is nihari. It's a goat (or any other meat) stew dish. It's spicy, flavorful and the meat is extremely tender. I love dipping naans (flat Indian bread) in the sauce. But I always end up feeling so bad when I see my husband Lulu, who is a vegetarian, staring at me. So this time, I also made a tofu version using the same gravy sauce.

Recipe for egg and cheese breakfast muffins with mushrooms and thyme
Egg and cheese breakfast muffins, made ahead and stored in the refrigerator, give me the protein boost that sees me through the day. And, like quiche or frittata, these muffins taste delicious with any mix-ins: green chiles, slow-roasted tomatoes, bell peppers, fresh herbs, smoked salmon or bacon or turkey sausage.

Roasted Baby Carrots
(Note that the "baby" carrots to which I refer here are not the small pill-capsule-shaped carrots that one gets in a big bag to serve as snacks for kids.) The carrots are simply tossed together with sliced red onions, fresh rosemary, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and then roasted until all are nicely caramelized.

But the nice thing about the recipe I found at Chocolate and Zucchini is that not only is it adapted to sourdough use, the dough is just sturdy enough to hold its shape in the skillet.

Secret to smoothest iced coffee: cold brewing
Cold-brewed coffee relies on time, rather than heat, for extraction. Coffee grounds are steeped in water for about 12 hours at room temperature, then strained. The result is a rich coffee concentrate that lasts for weeks in the refrigerator.

Beyond Bread: The Many Uses of Sourdough [
via The Paupered Chef]
A wonderful all-purpose leavening agent for quick breads and muffins, sourdough starter also adds moisture to batters and shines—more traditionally—in pancakes and waffles, less traditionally (at least in the West) in flatbreads and cakes, and, as I recently found out, even holds up remarkably well in microwave chocolate cake.

Tips for Substituting Agave in Baked Goods
Agave isn't a difficult ingredient to add to your pantry and won't crystallize (like honey), making it have a ridiculously long shelf life. Agave is easy enough to interchange in sauces, drinks or stir frying, but baking can be a bit more difficult.

Calf's Liver with Onions
One of my favorite calf's liver recipes comes from The River Cottage Meatbook, in which the pan is deglazed with balsamic vinegar after the liver has been seared. A well-aged balsamic pairs nicely, but recently I've been using an aged fig vinegar, a sweeter and much fruitier alternative.

Sour cream chicken enchiladas
The sour cream enchiladas were stuffed with shredded chicken that had been spiced with generous amounts of salt and black pepper, a simple blend that still had flavor. The sauce itself was a creamy blend of sour cream and chicken broth. A few pickled jalapenos were added, yet they provided more color than fire, as all that cream mitigated any heat.
