Sayur Asam Jakarta tonight as compared to Sayur Asam Central Java which so I'm told has more ingredients
Bit sort of blurry from the steam coming off it.
 
I love tortilla espanola. Only made it a few times, though. Maybe tomorrow.
Me too, but I have a low tolerance for eggs - pooohie!
When we were with friends in barcelona they cooked the regular tortilla & one made with pumpkin- never tried cooking that must do it sometime as it seems i threw a shed load of butternut squash seeds into the compost mix- oops... should you visit again HM, our house might well be buried under a mountain of squash vines
 
If you make a keto version I'd pay!! (but probably too expensive to gojek from cibubur...).
Keto diet is low carb but high fat right? I can use whole wheat flour, full cream milk and more butter. But i have no idea where to get the whole wheat flour from lol
 
Nothing better than sayur asam and empal gepuk or ikan asin, of course with steamed white rice Raja Lele or Thai jasmine.
No empal gepuk which Mrs Mac just explained to me & I forgot to mention the little salty fish & rice
 
Having seen amazing food parades here, my lunch today is just to keep me alive.

Stir fried chicken with home grown bitter melon and Thai basil.

I was busy with online meeting this morning.
Just realized, tuesday is the trailing spouse social lunch and mahjong day. she's very busy too😊

No noo....whole wheat while 'slightly better' than regular flour it is still pretty high on glycemic index and carb load....I actually use combination of various flours (almond, flax, keto flour which in itself has different stuff..).
 
Tortillas de papas, slightly mangled by a bad flip. I added kuchai and some of the potatoes were from last night's sauteed potatoes onions and string beans. I enjoyed it. The kid is not a huge fan of the garlic greens either, it turns out.

Today's dinner, tomatos stuffed with minced pork (+garlic, pepper, salt, parsley, thyme)
The inner from the tomatoes is turned into sauce with the excess minced pork, and used to give some taste to the rice. (Plain white rice is tasteless to me)

we eat out most days and then Sundays I bbq chicken or burgers with mixed veg andmashed spuds or homemade chips/fries.
Sidenote, the other week I bbq'd my first ayam kampung....... tasted ok but was tougher than owlsh*t. Any advice for future attempts gratefully accepted
We always 'cook' the ayam first in water with 'santan' /coco nut milk/ with ingredient like salt, peper and 'sereh' /lemon gras/, milk will do too, before 'goreng' the ayam.
 
Today's dinner
For me, a delivery from my favorite French restaurant.
Marrocan couscous, also called couscous royal, chicken, lamb, merguez sausage with semolina. Vegetables in a broth, and a bit of Harissa, a North African hot chilli paste.

The couscous being a bit too exotic for the Missus, she fried some chicken, and we got some mixed salad from the same place. And of course she made some cream and mushroom sauce...

All that was missing was a nice Rosé, but I have long learned that the stuff they sell here is not worth the money spend on it....

That looks yummy.
 
Tonight is my lazy-ass version of spag bol... I am too lazy to faff about with strings of spaghetti so I substitute it for alternative pasta.
This may not look pretty but it smells & tastes delicious :) even if I say so myself ;)

Our lunch - stir fried beef, carrot and green bean; and battered fried tempeh.
The green beans were fresh from garden, and the tempeh is special home made from soy beans and garbanzos.

You making that lovely yellow coconut soup from scratch? I've never wanted to mess around with fresh turmeric and stuff, so if there is a packet I can just add stuff to, maybe personalize...

Although we have loads of turmeric growing in the garden I find it a real pain in the arse for cutting & peeling, it is too much like cutting glue & gums up my knives... so I cheat & buy dried ground turmeric these days & then I just chuck a load in with the veg & the stock- I fry off the veg a little first to release the flavours.

Never having tried it, I ASSumed ground tumeric was rubbish. I'll go get some and play with it. Thanks.

I planted red and white ginger, tumeric and lengkwas. The only one that hasn't died off is the bloody lengkwas that I have no interest in.
