This tofu kebab couldn’t be simpler, you simply shaved a block of tofu, toss it in yogurt and spices and bake it. Put it in a pita or lavash with your choice of yogurt sauces, tahini sauces, and any mix of toppings and enjoy. We had this two ways, first with a tahini lemon sauce, pickles, sumac onions in pitas and the second way was with a hummus base, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions and a little bit of thinned yogurt and they were both great. The smokiness of the tofu and the yogurt coating surprisingly mimic meat especially if you manage to get the tofu very crisp. You can prep everything ahead of time also making this a great throw together meal for a weeknight.

Here’s my menu for the week. I usually make all or almost all of everything listed on a given menu though I tend to eat things out of order. Recipes are linked at the bottom or posted elsewhere on the site. As usual, this menu only has lunches and dinners because we always eat the same breakfast.

Here’s a quick recap of all the food I made this week:

This is a cozy and comforting fall soup that is thickened with coconut milk making it extremely smooth and creamy. You can top them with some almonds, roasted chickpeas, extra coconut milk, fresh herbs, or even some toasted bread croutons to complete the meal. The flavors in this are really simple so you can really taste the carrots and parsnips in it and if you’re like me you don’t need to blend it 100% of the way and leave a couple of nice chunks of vegetables for extra chew. Serve piping hot with some bread.

I used to actively post all my food for the week but I had moved that off-site for a long time and now I guess I’m back because this is the space that I control so here’s (mostly) everything we ate this week:

This very simple Italian flatbread is just made from zucchini, onion, and flour and it has a dense chewy texture that makes it a great side dish that is perfect for dipping in soup. You can add some garlic or herbs or sprinkle a little cheese on top towards the end of baking to give it some punch but otherwise it’s a nice replacement for crackers or bread because it kind of sits in the valley between those two things.
Continue readingRecipe: Dum Aloo
This is a delicious and comforting dish that is made with things I always have on hand (mostly spices, potatoes, and yogurt) but it does take a little bit of babysitting and foresight since the potatoes have to be boiled ahead of being fried. If you boil and peel potatoes the day before though this is a pretty quick and easy dinner. You can serve this with naan or rice and a salad or pickled vegetables to round it out into a full meal.
