Paneer Stir Fry

////

During the summer I cook elaborate meals, well thought out themes with multiple dishes and lots of dessert. Then the ship docks for the season and I return to a life that I view as more normal, living on land and waiting out the days till Zodiac set’s her sails again. This winter in particular I decided to change the way I eat, focusing on more vegetables and less of everything else. It’s been a struggle to find ideas that entice me the same way my menus do during the summer, sometimes it just takes a little more thinking outside the box.

This stir fry came around because I made a big block of paneer, an unaged Indian cheese, but I wanted to use it in a smart way, small amounts here and there. To make those high calorie ingredients stretch they must be incorporated with vegetables; so I came up with this, an Indian inspired stir fry. Lots of vegetables, a little curry powder and some fried paneer served with cauliflower rice and raita, a cilantro cucumber yoghurt sauce. This recipe is flexible, use some leeks, broccoli or throw in some jalapenos slices if you like the heat, exchange the coriander seeds for cumin or brown mustard seeds, make it your own.

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 -2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 1 carrot, sliced on the bias
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut in this strips
  • 3 small zucchinis,

  4. Add in the bell peppers, zucchini, salt, curry powder and cayenne, cook until everything is tender. If things start to stick add a tablespoon of water.

Chicken Marbella

////

I’ve been eating this dish since I was a kid, my mom would make it in California and when I lived in Singapore our housekeeper would make it. When I started cooking on boats and looking for recipes to make I looked back to my childhood for inspiration, my mom sent me the recipe and I cooked it for the crew. But I’m a different kind of cook, I don’t follow recipes, specially when I need to scale them up for large groups, I focus on the ingredients and not really the amounts. Not following a recipe to the letter allows me to make it my own, make it tangier with red wine vinegar and extra briney from the caper juice.

The best part of this dish is the sauce, forget the chicken, well it adds flavor but I don’t have to eat it, give me the sauce and all the bits at the bottom of the pan. Those bits are capers, green olives and prunes swimming in a red wine vinegar sauce with garlic and oregano. Since this dish is all about the sauce it needs to be served with something that can absorb all those juices, I like couscous but rice pilaf or plain white rice are great options. I’ve been known to chastise people for not taking any sauce as they come through the buffet line, but at the same time if they don’t take any that means more sauce for me.

The one key to this dish is that it must be marinated overnight, if not it’s not worth making, so plan ahead.

  • 8 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed

  2. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  3. Arrange the chicken into a large baking dish in one layer, pour the marinade and bits over the chicken. I tuck some of the prunes and garlic under the chicken so it won’t burn.
  4. Bake the chicken for 50 minutes to an hour or until a thermometer reads 160F.
  5. Serve the chicken with couscous and don’t forget to slurp up lots of the sauce.

Roasted Kale And Egg On Toast

////

My food mood changes during the winter, all I want to do is eat things that are bad for me, high in calorie and not as many vegetables as I pack into my summer meals. As the cold sets in I become less active and with the holidays in high swing I need to watch my diet. To combat the full fat and sugar cravings I push myself to incorporate more vegetables into my diet and why not start with breakfast.

This fancy toast recipe isn’t even really a recipe, it’s a list of ingredients as a guideline for making this toast. Make it however you like with whatever you have and in however large amount you want to, this is how I cook on a regular basis and I think it’s important that others learn to develop this playful attitude towards cooking.

I used the cashew cheese recipe from Nutrition Stripped.
