Unique Eats

      I posted something like this a while ago, but recent reports say that the pests are gone, and stuff like lettuce is back on the menu! * Still,  I've been researching good food, so you don't have to. And right now, it's things you probaly don't typically eat. While still hard to beat.  So if that sounds neat, let's get into it! 

       First up, we're talking Moroccan carrot salad. ** For this, you're gonna want six sweet carrots, peeled and grated. Some people add a clove of Garlic and chopped chili pepers, but they're optional. You will need a quarter cup of chopped cilantro, a teaspoon of chili powder, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, a teaspoon of cumin with half a teaspoon of paprika., and salt to taste. Next, combine everything in a mixing bowl before chilling for an hour. Serve, and enjoy! 

See? We're off to a great start. Moving on,  this one's more of an appetizer.*** But it can also be a part of tapas. Which sounds like another article. Anyway,  for these, you just need a can o bag of frozen, quartered artichoke hearts. Go for the plain, packed in water. You'll also want extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper. Preheat your oven to 450 Fahrenheit, space the hearts on a baking sheet. Brush them with olive oil,and sprinkle the salt and pepper. Then roast until golden brown. Let them cool,serve, and you guessed it. Enjoy!

Just one more, for now. But this one, you can use to spice up anything! Beef, Pork, Chicken. Even Artichoke hearts. It's called Garam Masala.**** Basically,  its a blend of savory spices. Start with a quarter cup of Cumin, a half cup of Cardamom, and another quarter cup of Black Pepper. Then add sweet spices:A half cup of Cinnamon, and 1/3 cup of Cloves. Combine them in a bowl until thoroughly mixed, and store in a jar or shaker till needed. Use as a dry rub, or add when serving. And as usual, enjoy!
