So, in an attempt to get some of my mojo back, I have given myself a little challenge. I went to our little local health food store and picked up some spices that I don't regularly use and I am going to try to plan recipes around the spices. I have also purchased a half a dozen cookbooks in the past month or so (now if I could find the time to sit down and go through them all).
First up:
Chipotle Chili Powder
Here are some of the recipes that I have found:
Fiery Chipotle Baked Beans (I'd omit the chorizo though)
I want to try using it in place of regular chili powder in my butternut squash and black bean chili
Also want to try in tacos
And next:
Smoked Paprika
Goat Cheese With Paprika, Garlic, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Capers a Bruschetta recipe
Smoky Black Bean Soup
Baked BBQ Tofu (always wanted to try backed tofu - worth a shot!)
Fennel Seed Focaccia with Kalamata Olives
Spicy Turkey Sausage With Fennel Seeds
Marinara Sauce (always looking for a new take)
Garam Masala
Butter Chickpea Curry
Chicken Makhani
I also ordered za'atar from Amazon. It's an Arabian spiced commonly used simply on bread brushed with oil. Absolutely delicious! I grew up in the Middle East, so it is very nostalgic.
I will report back if I find any to die for recipes. And by all means if anyone has a recipe using any of these spices, please share a link!!!
