Another day. Another pancake. These ones are made of legumes. This is inspired by the Italian farinata, which is an unleavened pancake made from chickpea flour. The origin of this dish is unknown (to my knowledge), but it is incredibly similar to the Indian dosa. The main difference between these foods is these pancakes are… Continue reading Chickpea Pancakes
This is my favorite way to cook eggs for multiple reasons. First, there is virtually no mess. All that is needed is a pot of water, and I simply rinse the pot after finishing. Second, I get a runny, jammy yolk housed in a perfect egg-white cup when I slice the eggs in half. This… Continue reading Soft-Boiled Eggs on Avocado Toast
I love Mexican food. Sadly, I cannot cook a lot of it well. Fajitas are a go-to for me because they are relatively simple and versatile depending on ingredients on hand and amount of time available to cook. Serve them over rice or in tortillas.

This is by far the best nugget recipe I have had yet. The lentils mixed with the farro make the texture chewy and sticky, so they don’t crumble when bit into. They are fantastic, especially with the dipping sauce. I would say this leftover recipe is better than my original Misir Wat. Don’t take my… Continue reading Misir Wat Nuggets with Sunflower Seed Dipping Sauce
