Vegetable Pilau /New Dishware
Today was a pretty busy day, well, at least I wasn’t really home until 4:30. I also picked up a new set of dishware, so i had to wash those before I used them. I didn’t get around to actually cooking dinner until 18:30, but it needed to be in the oven for 30 minutes, so I didn’t get to actually eat until around 19:15. Anyways, today I made vegetable Pilau, it consisted of steamed carrots and beans and peas, along with sauteed onions w/ ginger and garlic. Then I put a layer of tumeric rice in a baking dish, added the vegetables, then another layer of rice. Bake for 30 mins and yum yum.

1 onion, chopped
55g millet

Start by preheating the broiler to 200 degrees, and sautee the onions for 3 minutes in a bit of vegetable oil.
Take your millet
Add it to the onions and cook for another 3 minutes
Add the water salt mixture to the onions and millet and bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
By now your almonds should be done.
when you have approx 5 minutes left of the millet cooking, stir fry the leeks, and zucchini until tender
Tenderoo
Now mix the vegetables, cinnamon, and pepper, into the millet onion mix and cook for another 2 minutes.
Serve and enjoy I think the almonds are what really make this meal.
Curried Mushrooms over CousCous
This was one good meal. It consisted of mushroom and onions in a curry sauce made of flour, soy yoghurt, tumeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and chili powder. I probably should have put it on top of something healthier, but i only had cous cous at the time. Delicious.
