McDonald’s will sometimes charge 5¢ for a packet of salsa. Don’t get upset. Rather: buy a couple dozen packets – or more! 5¢ per packet figures out to about $4 per jar – which is market price. Plus you now have something that is not normally sold as a commodity. LOL

Ingredients

1 pound firm tofu, large dice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 teaspoons garam masala
4 teaspoons kosher salt
3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 medium plum tomatoes, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 pound baby spinach
1/2 cup plain Greek-style whole-milk yogurt

Instructions

1. Combine tofu with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons of the garam masala, and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Mix gently to coat tofu; set aside.

2. Heat a large (12-inch) frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When it shimmers, add tofu in a single layer and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

3. Wipe out the pan, return it to the stovetop over medium heat, and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. When it shimmers, add garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender and browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and ginger and cook until tomatoes just start to soften, about 2 minutes.

4. Add spinach in handfuls and stir frequently, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits. Cook until spinach is very wilted and liquid is cooked off, about 7 minutes. Stir in reserved tofu and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, stir together remaining garam masala, remaining salt, and yogurt and add to spinach mixture. Stir until well mixed and serve.
Saag, a stew of spinach and spices, is one of the most common offerings at Indian restaurants. We added tofu for a quick, delicious dish.

Yield: 4
Do not substitute no-boil lasagna noodles for the traditional, curly-edged lasagna noodles here. Meatloaf mix is a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal, sold pre-packaged in many supermarkets. If it’s unavailable, use ½ pound each ground pork and 85 percent ground beef. We recommend using either whole milk or part-skim ricotta here, but do not use fat-free ricotta, which has a very dry texture and bland flavor.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
3 (14.5-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
Salt
3 medium garlic cloves, minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1 tablespoon)
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound meatloaf mix
10 curly-edged lasagna noodles (about 8 1/2 ounces), broken into 2-inch lengths
2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
½ ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
Ground black pepper
¾ cup ricotta cheese (see note)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

DIRECTIONS
Pulse the tomatoes with their juice in a food processor until coarsely ground and no large pieces remain, about 12 pulses.

Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking apart the meat, until lightly browned and no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.

Scatter the pasta over the meat, then pour the processed tomatoes over the pasta. Cover, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring often and adjusting the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer, until the pasta is tender, about 20 minutes.

Off the heat, stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dot heaping tablespoons of the ricotta over the noodles, then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and let stand off the heat until the cheese melts, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the basil and serve.

DIY Homemade Greek Yogurt

 

 

Procedures

1. In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, bring milk to 180°F, stirring regularly to prevent scorching. Once milk has reached temperature, allow it to cool to 110°F (place pot in an ice bath to speed cooling, if desired).

2. When milk has cooled, add yogurt to the pot and whisk thoroughly to combine.

3. Pour milk and starter mixture into two quart-sized jars (and smaller 1/2-pint, if using) and screw on lids. Place them in a small insulated cooler and fill with 120°F water until jars are submerged nearly up to their lids. Close cooler and leave in a draft-free, undisturbed place for six hours or until desired tartness is achieved.

4. When incubation is complete, remove jars from water bath and place in refrigerator for at least six hours to halt culturing and set yogurt.

5. At this point, yogurt may be eaten, but to achieve a Greek-style consistency, it will need to be strained. Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and line it with two layers of cheese cloth. Spoon yogurt into lined strainer and allow to drain for two hours or until desired thickness is achieved.

6. Transfer yogurt to a storage container and refrigerate until needed. Remaining leftover whey (approximately two cups) may be reserved for another use if desired.
