What's For Dinner #116 - the Mardi Gras / St. Patrick's Day Edition - March 2025

A few super cheating but super delicious meals here.

A faux gozleme using TJs handmade tortilla, leftover sautéed spinach, feta, and a bit of mozzarella. Always satisfying and feels a bit virtuous with the quantity of spinach.

A faux baida roti in honor of Id / Eid — very similar to gozleme and murtabak and roti telur, flatbread stuffed with spiced ground or shredded meat, plus egg inside or outside. Mine used another of those tortillas, leftover meat mixture from the Kerala puffs, and egg to coat the inside of the tortilla like an anda paratha or jian bing. Soooo good.

Finally, a quick fish and vegetable tagine. A mix of chimichurri and zhoug for charmoula, harissa for some more complexity, vegetables layered in my tiny pressure cooker — onion, broccoli stem, tomato, carrot, potato, and baby trumpet mushrooms because I have a stockpile, and finally cubes of swordfish marinated in the herby base. Steamed on very low heat, no pressure, till everything cooked and flavors melded. Eaten with quinoa+rice blend. This was a spectacular flavor bomb. Had to stop myself from eating the whole pot!
