Fall Corn Chowder

Posted on by

By now you probably have more corn than you know what to do with. So rather than eating ANOTHER corn on the cob (seriously, my floss is running low…) put it into some chowder. This steamy dish is perfect for those cooler nights. And if you have leftovers, freeze it in some Tupperware for a middle-of-the-winter treat.

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 1 medium potato, cubed (add in 1 additional for a heartier meal)
  • 5 ears of corn (or 2 12oz cans)
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 sprig of thyme
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp of pepper

Toss all of the ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Easiest. Recipe. Ever.

Foodie Fave: Prosciutto, Caramelized Onion and Potato Frittata

Posted on by

You know how sometimes you just scroll around the internet of things and end up on some awesome site? I was doing this is a little while back and ended up on a beautiful foodie site called Two of a Kind. As I was reading about the author, Alison, I realized I had actually worked with her a little while back! #SmallWorld. It’s a pretty cool feeling when you discover another side of someone, this one being a mutual passion – fooood.

So, as we like to do every month, we’re featuring Two of a Kind as our Foodie Fav! Alison’s latest frittata – prosciutto, caramelized onion, and potato looks divine. We can’t wait to dig in!

  • ¾ pound Dutch yellow potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 slices prosciutto
  • 6 ciliegine (small mozzarella balls), quartered

Fill a small pot with water and add the potatoes, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 8 minutes. Drain; when potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove and discard skins and slice into ¼” rounds.

Heat olive oil and butter in a 9″ oven-safe fry pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, 8-10 minutes. Add the cooked potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the chives and parsley, stirring to combine.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add eggs to a fry pan and cook, gently stirring the mixture constantly with a silicone spatula for about 15 seconds. Smooth the top and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the top is slightly set, 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle prosciutto and ciliegine on top. Move to the broiler for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and slide the frittata onto a cutting board or serving platter. Top with more chives, cut into wedges and serve warm.

Aloo tiki

Posted on by

Aloo tiki or potato cutlet is a North Indian snack made of boiled potatoes and various spices. “Aloo” means potato, and the word “tikki” means a small cutlet or croquette. It is found in almost every chaat shop or stall in Delhi, as well as, in other parts of India. It is served hot along with, tamarind and coriander-mint chutney (sauce), known as Hari (green) chutney. I decided I need to learn how to make these after my best friend had a craving for them over the weekend and asked my mom to make us some. They are fairly simple to make and very filling. They are excellent to serve as an afternoon snack with tea or with drinks as an appetizer. Next time we have a craving, we won’t need to run home for them…yum!

  • 3 medium size potatoes
  • 1 small onion- finely chopped or a half of a medium
  • 1 green chili- finely chopped (remove seeds when chopping to minimize heat if you are worried about spice level)
  • 1 tsp. cumin powder
  • 1 tsp. coriander powder
  • 1 tsp. fennel powder (I didn’t have any so I left out, you won’t die if it isn’t in there)
  • ½ tsp. red chili powder
  • ¼ tsp. dry ginger powder (I also added garlic powder in place of the fennel, mainly because I can’t eat most food without some sort of garlicky goodness)
  • ½ tsp. chaat masala powder (MDG is my fav brand, but there are tons of kinds out there & easy to find)
  • 2 tbsp. flour or corn starch (you cant skip this, it helps bind them and give them a crust, they will fall apart without it)
  • handful of fresh coriander leaves chopped (AKA cilantro. If you don’t like the flavor of cilantro, fresh parsley works as well)
  • oil for pan or shallow frying (vegetable is best since olive oil has a stronger flavor)
  • salt (I also added a pinch of black pepper)

Boil the peeled potatoes and after they are cooled a bit, using a grater to grate them. You can even use a potato masher instead of grating to save time. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat tikki. (Pack them tightly so they don’t fall apart in the pan) Heat a non-stick pan on a medium to high flame and cook each tikki, using oil generously: think shallow fry, till both sides are golden brown. (you will be tempted to mess with them but let each side firm up & get browned, flip gently). Drain on an absorbent paper towel to catch any excess oil and serve hot. This is the Indian version of our latkes. It tastes like nostalgia/home.
