Menu #13 of 2023

Here’s my menu for this week. I usually make all or almost all of everything listed on a given menu though I tend to eat things out of order (sometimes you’re just not in the mood for something or you don’t want to cook a complex dish on the weekend like you thought you would). You can always see the food I actually made on Friday when I post my weekly lunch compilation on @mabmadefood. As usual this menu only has lunches and dinners because we always eat the same breakfast.

Recipe: Kalasouna

This is an extremely pleasant cheese pie that is made even better with addition in chopped onions. In the future I would definitely whip the feta for an even and soft texture. I have never actually eaten one of these before and saw pictures online of both square and round versions, I eventually opted for the round but you should follow your heart. This is a great snack or light lunch if paired with a soup or salad that’s not too much work and can be made ahead of time.

Recipe: Enfrijoladas

For my first attempt I didn’t quite get the sauce as smooth as I wanted it but it still came out really delicious. This isn’t authentic at all, and I can’t get many of the leaves, seasonings, chilies, and exact cheeses here in Estonia but I like to think it’s got the spirit of enfrijoladas. In an ideal world you would soak beans from scratch and cook them in a big pot yourself but I often can’t get dried black beans here either, just the cooked one. I might try a different bean or different fillings in the future but it’s always good to get a baseline for your food first I think.

Recipe: Carrot-Chickpea Schnitzel

I was actually inspired to make this because they have a very similar item at our supermarket and I kind of fell in love with it. Who doesn’t like a good cutlet? Especially one that has a nice crispy outside and a soft, spiced inside. This is pretty easy to make and you and freeze these cutlets before coating for a pretty quick future meal. I almost always have chickpeas and carrots on hand which makes this a good candidate for a pantry meal. You can make this vegan by coating it with a mixture of cornflour and flour + water or you can simply use egg and flour for the coating and it will be vegetarian. Both are great!

Recipe: Tom Yum Tofu

This is absolutely the opposite of authentic Thai food but I was able to find some really great tom yum soup base. I would tell you the brand but it’s literally only in Thai on the label and unfortunately I don’t read Thai. However, you can use whatever ready tom yum soup base you’re able to find though they do all taste different. This comes together pretty quickly and would be great with lots of extra vegetables especially corn or bamboo shoots and greens of any type.
