Gluten Free Naan Bread

[buffetlicious]

For a reasonable meal, Saizeriya (サイゼリヤ) prices are comparable to stalls in air-conditioned food courts. With mum’s preference for noodle dishes, you will find us dining there often enough. Tonight, both of us went for spaghetti with mum opting for the Black Pepper Chicken Spaghetti (S$5.90). Her noodles had cubes of grilled chicken with black pepper sauce.

Me, I went for Squid Ink Spaghetti (S$5.90) with squid rings and squid ink sauce. The ink taste is subtle and adds a slight briny flavour to the noodles plus it gave me black lips and teeth. Must remember not to smile with my mouth open till I have a chance to gargle with water. :D

Since the pasta portion is suitable only for small eaters, I added a piece of Garlic Focaccia (S$2.30) for sharing. The flat bread is charred with flavours of olive oil and garlic. Mum tore off a small piece to eat and commented that it was nice.

Pan bread

I was interested in the recipe that has been going around for a flour/yogurt flat bread. I saw various opinions on it, good and bad, it's naan - no it isn't. I decided to try it myself.

I used a gluten free pancake mix, because a little bit of floof powder seemed necessary. I already have a nice, easy recipe that calls for gf pancake mix, one egg, and enough milk to make a batter. That is a good, simple recipe I've used over and over.

This was a stiff dough instead of a batter. The recipe says no oil is needed in the pan, and I believe them, but I put a pat of butter in to prevent my mother from coming back from the dead full of wrath.

Overall, it is fine. Heavier than the egg&milk recipe, but a functional pancake or round piece of bread, however you want to look at it. There is a distinct taste of yogurt, so you have to like yogurt to enjoy this at all.

I wanted to look at it covered in cream cheese and cherry jam and peachbutter. Then, suddenly, the plate was empty. How!?

Yooooo. I just made that naan recipe that is floating around tumblr and it's so good.

[ID Start: an oblong glass plate sits next to the corner of a stove with many golden brown flat bread that is similar to naan on it. The bread is in vague triangular shapes. /End ID.]

International Hummus Day

Seeing as May 13 is International Hummus Day we have no choice but to celebrate the intoxicatingly delicious concoction of garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic – otherwise known as hummus. From whipping up a batch of your own custom-flavored red pepper hummus to spreading some store-bought dessert hummus on a cookie, there are endless ways to celebrate. We hear that there’s even some magical thing called a hummus festival – we’re not missing that! Hummus has been around for centuries and remains one of the most versatile and healthy staples in many diets. Today, we celebrate hummus for all that provides our diet and culture, as well as how we can all agree – it’s nature’s perfect food.

History of International Hummus Day

The origin of hummus is cloudy and hotly contested. Though we know it originated in the Middle East, many regions around the Eastern crescent of the Mediterranean claim to be the one true originator of the delectable spread. The first real mention of hummus in a cookbook was found in 13th century Cairo, where it appears as merely a cold chickpea puree, and notably lacks lemon juice and garlic – including instead pickled lemons with oil, herbs, and spices. It still sounds pretty good to us.

Hummus remained a huge staple in the diet of many living in the Middle East, where chickpeas flourish. In fact, the word “hummus” is rooted in the Arabic word for “chickpea”! Though there is some debate over whether or not the Greeks also invented hummus, most believe that it spread between Greek and Middle Eastern traders, along with popular delicacies like baklava and stuffed grape leaves. It’s known for this reason as one of the greatest crossover foods.

It’s also the national dish for many countries in the Middle East. It’s a cultural phenomenon as much as a culinary one, and nations stick up for their claim to hummus. For example, in 2008 Lebanon tried to sue Israel for “stealing” hummus! After that, the two strove to set the record for the largest plate of hummus. For all its long-lasting popularity in the Middle East and Southern Europe, it may surprise you to learn that the first British grocery store to stock hummus only did so in 1980. Unsurprisingly, however, it quickly became a great hit in the UK, largely for its health benefits.

Hummus definitely had a fashionably late arrival to the U.S. While 20 years ago, most Americans probably couldn’t even pronounce the name of the dish, and annual sales barely topped $5 million, today it is found in most grocery stores and considered a staple in many American households. While in the Middle East, hummus is increasingly considered a somewhat routine and middle-class meal, Americans are falling for the brownish spread – hard. It’s estimated that more than a quarter of U.S. households have hummus in the fridge right this second.

The first International Hummus Day was in 2012 and our taste buds have been celebrating ever since.

5 Surprising Facts About Hummus

Happy heart, healthy heart

The same in every country

It’s an aphrodisiac

One lean cuppa

The first food

Hummus, which contains Omega-3 fatty acids, is known to maintain both heart health and a good mood!

Though the spread has gone global and the recipe has been tweaked slightly, the four key ingredients always persist: chickpeas, sesame paste, lemon juice, and garlic.

Made from protein- and vitamin-rich chickpeas (the “Queen of Aphrodisiacs,” as they are sometimes called), hummus has been known to aid in sexual functions and boost physical energy.

In just one cup of chickpeas, the basic ingredient of hummus, there are 200 calories and only one gram of fat.

In some folklore, hummus is touted as one of the oldest-ever prepared foods.

Why We Love International Hummus Day

Hummus unites people

It’s chock-full of vitamins

The possibilities are endless

Though many different regions around the world lay claim to the development of hummus, at least we can all agree that this versatile and healthy spread is nature’s perfect food. It’s been adopted across the globe with shockingly minimal changes to either the recipe or the name - we clearly all love it for exactly what it is.

Hummus is basically… a multivitamin. It’s bursting with fiber, protein, potassium, B6, folate, and Vitamin C. Not to mention, it can lower your cholesterol, nip hunger, and excess snacking in the bud, and potentially even contribute to a lower risk of some cancers!

What doesn’t hummus go on? Besides being a great chip and vegetable dip alternative to fattier dips like ranch, hummus can be used on sandwiches, salads, and so much more. These days, it can be endlessly favored as well, from spicy to savory to even dessert. The jury is out on that one for us but at least it’s healthier than ice cream.

Week 52.2/52: December 26th - December 31st 2022 | Staff Holiday Party 🍸

Had an eight hour shift before this party LMAO. I woke up ridiculously early so I ran on five hours of sleep..... :’( felt so sleepy the whole day. Was legit delulu at dinner. Sitting in between my bf, Jesslyn and Katie is like peak chaos. All these Mrs. Claus discussions smh. We all filled out a quiz that gave us points depending on what apps/photos we had on our phones and I somehow ended up winning chocolates at 69 points HAHAHA. Everyone also got to pick and choose a giftcard so I picked the Catcus Club Cafe one (New Year’s Day date???? hehehee). The food was good... ok (???) for the most part. I got too full for dessert which is TRAGIC but of course I still shoved a raspberry down my throat. The photography kids’ group photos were so chaotic hhhhhhh. Also I chugged that red cherry drink that tasted like sour candy in the span of like 10 minutes because everyone was leaving and I legit was so dizzy on my way home so rip my liver...... but sour candy powder so yum..... so it’s worth it?????
