Curry

One of my favourite dishes is curry. Typically, when I plan to make this dish, I chop up root vegetables (carrots, potato, turnip) and onion and put it in my slow cooker with some cubed beef. I add beef stock, beer or sake and spices and let it cook all day. 

When I get home from work, I make the sauce (which can be purchased in any asian grocery store). It comes in a block, and I usually boil some water or some of the liquid from the crock pot, and then dissolve the block and cook until it thickens a bit.

I serve it with rice, and in this case, a bit of furikake.

It's delicious!

Until next time, Happy Munching!

A Romantic Raclette for Two

I decided that my husband and I should have a special dinner just the two of us. We really enjoy the raclette, so I got it out and prepared all the fixings!

I marinated three different meats in various ways, each cut into strips.

I also prepared a variety of cheeses

and don't forget the vegetables!

A favourite in my family to eat with raclette or fondue is what we call greek potatoes! These potatoes are peeled and placed directly on the rack in the oven for about 45 minutes. What results is a crispy exterior with a soft interior!

To make things a little more special, I pulled out our nice dishes that we got as wedding presents, and set them nicely.

And last but not least... a bottle of a favourite wine....

Well, that's really all for this entry! Until next time, happy munching!
