Stuffed Mushrooms

~20 white mushrooms stemmed
1 c. plain bread crumbs
3/4 c. Parmesan cheese
2 tbl. parsley flakes
1 tbl. onion powder
1 large roma tomato diced
3 garlic cloves
black pepper to taste
olive oil

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
Grease baking sheet with olive oil
Mix all ingredients, add a little bit of olive oil to mixture.
Place in mushrooms.
Place on sheet.
Bake for ~20 min.

I don't really have a very good picture of the stuffed mushrooms... and as you can see, they were eaten before I could get a picture.  This is a really easy recipe.  The secret to good stuffed mushrooms is removing the stem and NOT using them for the stuffing.  Enjoy!

Cauliflower Curry

It has been ages since I've posted and unfortunately I didn't take pictures of all the stuff I have made since I stopped posting... but here are the recipes for stuff that I have pictures for!!!
Cauliflower Curry (Flower Nu Shak)





Ingredients:


2 c. cauliflower cut into florets
1 c. frozen peas
2 tsp. cumin and coriander seed powder (dhana jeeru)
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. cumin seeds
a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
~ 1 tbls.oil
salt and chili pepper to taste

Directions:
Place oil in pan on medium-low heat, add cumin seeds.
After about 1 min, add flower and peas.
Then add the rest of the spices.
Mix and cover the pan until cauliflower is cooked.


Note: I'm pretty sure this is how the recipe goes... I'm kind of guessing off the top of my head right now from what I remember when I made this about five months ago.  And no, I didn't write the recipe down... I wasn't exactly following a recipe when I made this.  I will make this again in the future and update this accordingly!  (Don't be worried about using this recipe though, the only things I would probably change are maybe adding mustard seeds and maybe using less dhana jeeru... two things that will not significantly alter the taste into something inedible).
