Last Weekend's Cooking Extravaganza

I know y’all are dying to see the fruits of my blender-assisted labor. Apologies for the subpar photos. I really need a new camera and some photography lessons so I can learn to keep my hands still and compensate for terrible lighting.

All the below recipes can be found in this month’s issue of Fine Cooking.

Exhibit #1: Tapas

Here we have patatas bravas and sauteed mushrooms. Both recipes were super easy. The sauce for the patatas bravas was a little more involved, but even that was mostly throw stuff in a saucepan, simmer, and puree.

I brought these to a potluck dinner and they were gone in no time flat.

Exhibit #2: Tandoori Chicken

Here we have some spices that are about to become part of a Tandoori chicken marinade. I just thought it looked pretty in the bowl.

Exhibit #3: Chicken Tikka Masala

And here is the finished chicken tikka masala. Serves 6-8? Surely you jest. I got five meals out of this, and that’s serving it over rice. But oh, oh so tasty. It took an afternoon’s worth of labor, but it was worth it.
