These days I have been trying some new recipes…
First I needed to use the 3 bananas that were becoming too black to be eaten with pleasure – but my mum always said: “we can’t through any food”. So I needed to do something before throwing them. And I remembered a delicious banana cake I ate often back in Singapore, and wanted to have a try…without recipe. Apart from eggs (that I finally got again fresh from the backyard of my colleague, because of this cake!), flour, sugar and butter – of course – and the bananas, I added cinamon and pecan nuts… mmm, almost gone!!
Second, I tried for the second time tofu. It was written “very firm”… mmm, not sooo sure…. not toooo bad…. but definitely not my favorite! I tried to fry it, to pan it, to steam it, in salad, warm, cold, well, I didn’t find the perfect way, yet! But finishing it… of course (I would feel guilty!).
Third, I ordered food for the first time from a local restaurant – I just was too much craving for indian style! and we should support local business that are quite lost without tourists, despite trying their best to survive. Spicy vegetable Korma curry with garlic naan and basmati rice… Delicious!!
And a couple of other things I tried this weekend – some ideas if you are bored: zucchinis and eggplants pan fried in the wok with garlic and cumin seeds – that was super good!; boiled sweet potatoes – warm or cold in salad; Mixed salad with avocado, tofu, sweet potato, red onion, tomato, pomelo, letuce, rucola, and pine nuts. As usual for a salad, excellent!
