COBB PASTA SALAD

I had a knock-down drag-out fight with a big bowl of rainbow-colored hard-boiled eggs and. . . salad happened.
The ever-popular cobb salad reinvented in pasta salad form.

It has most of the same classic flavors everyone loves with small seashell pasta, the beat-up eggs, crumbled bacon, red onion, avocado, tomatoes and feta (or blue cheese) dressed in a red wine vinaigrette.

Everything you could ever want in a pasta salad.

Spicy cumin chicken thighs with green beans

Quick to cook and difficult to fail, spicy cumin chicken thighs with green beans is inspired by a popular Chinese street food. An easy pan-fried dish full of flavour.  This is not a classic Chinese dish, but inspired by a popular street food I used to have back in my home province of Gansu, in China. It’s called Yang Rou Chuan In my recipe, I use both cumin powder and whole cumin seeds, the same for chilli too (both powder and flakes). This helps to maximize the fragrance of the spices, and to create an appealing finished look. If you are not accustom to very hot food, please feel free to reduce the amount of chilli powder and flakes (or use milder ones). However, I wouldn’t suggest reducing the cumin as it’s really the soul of this dish.
