june 6, 2012 lunch

some familiar faces here. the last of the leftover rogan josh, coleslaw, and greek salad for lunch. the spices really came together on the lamb in the last couple days.. the cayenne certainly packed a punch. yes, i am that coworker with the garlicky, cumin-y, bacon-y office. like that old shampoo gee, your hair smells terrific, but it's my office, not my hair.

(for the record, my hair smells pretty terrific too.)

june 5, 2012 lunch

lunch consists of leftover rogan josh atop an eye-rollingly-good rutabaga hash, homemade coleslaw, and the usual but yummy greek salad. good stuff.

june 4, 2012 dinner

happy-making rogan josh! it took some doing, but that there is braised lamb cubes (grass-fed),  generously salted and peppered, then started off at medium-high heat in ghee to sear the outsides (the trick is to wait for the meat to release from the pan on its own - when it's ready, it will let you know). i then added a paste of ginger, garlic, shredded coconut, and boiled, peeled almonds, a chopped onion, coconut milk, and a mix of many fun spices, including cumin, cloves, coriander, bay leaves, mace, cinnamon, aniseed, fennel, well, you name it, really. simmered for about an hour and a half in a dutch oven.

all this on top of rutabaga hash. perfection.
