Puff Pastry Shells

These are fairly simple to make, and once baked the real fun begins, as they can hold so many amazing fillings, both sweet and savory. The key is making sure your puff pastry dough is very firm, and very cold, preferably still partially frozen, before you start cutting it. You want nice clean cuts, because if you mash the layers of pastry together, your shells will not rise as high, and they can also bake into some strange shapes.

Kala Chola Pakistani-Style

This Pakistani kala chola recipe is made with kala chana, which is in the family of garbanzo beans. It can be served as a meal with rice or just on its own. You can find kala chana in Indian/Pakistani stores or in the Indian/Pakistani section of an international store. It is really tasty and very popular in my home. According to my mom (a diabetic), kala chana are high in fiber and low in fat. It is great for people with blood sugar problems. Serve by garnishing with onion and cilantro with basmati rice. Hope you all enjoy it.

Just Like Wendy's Chili

After trying several Wendy's chili recipe clones and adjusting them to my tastes, I've concocted what I think is the best. Serve it topped with finely diced white onions and/or shredded cheese. Enjoy!

Baked Gochujang Chicken Thighs

These chicken thighs are baked with gochujang, a Korean red chili paste that is tangy, salty, and very hot. The heat in this sauce is moderated by sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. If you like it hot, simply add more gochujang until your taste buds yell, "Uncle!" We like this with simple steamed broccoli and white rice.
