Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This is a traditional South Indian pickle, to be served with yogurt rice. Yogurt rice is just that: yogurt, and rice. The pickle is very salty, tangy, spicy, is rounded out by the umami of the tomato. A nice way to use green tomatoes en masse.
Paneer, like many fresh cheeses, is a snap to make. Two ingredients, little time and almost zero skill. I’ve most often run across this cheese in spinach curry dishes like Palak Paneer or Saag/Sag Paneer.
My tomatoes are peaking and there are still not enough to bother pressure canning. This marmalade is a nice combination of savory and sweet. Try in on hard cheese, like Spanish Manchego
This is a new relish recipe that gets me pretty excited. It can be used as a traditional relish, or mixed with yogurt to create a classic Indian raita.
