Stir in the chopped garnish of your choice (we used mint, but cilantro was also an option), the previously carmelised leeks, and the final chili, chopped finely. Again, if you’d like the dish to be less spicy, remove the seeds in the chili. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022f5b37aa7e00c0740ce39/1612904209273/IMG_5904.JPG Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry Once the meat is about tender as you’d like, add the kabocha and two sliced chilis. Cover it, and cook until the kabocha is soft and the meat is tender. Side note: We like spicy food, so I just sliced the chilis and dropped them in. If you don’t care for something so spicy, seed the chilis before you toss them in. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022f430611c633e639ff583/1612904208633/IMG_7756.JPG Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry Homemade chicken stock! It’s my favourite way to get all the good bits out of a whole chicken. Most recipes call for water, but I really like adding bits of flavour at every opportunity, and I like the extra nutrients that you get from homemade stocks. You could absolutely use water or any other type of broth or stock. Add just enough to cover the meat and toss in a bay leaf. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022f42a786e532f6284375a/1612903595205/IMG_7750.JPG Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry While the meat is browning a bit, I measured out the tumeric, garam masala, and fennel. I know that a lot of people have pre-ground spices, but most of the spices we keep are whole. I really like the smell of freshly ground fennel. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022f3326945f970da52bc79/1612903541203/IMG_7749.JPG Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry The bowl has the carmelised leek bits. I used pre-minced garlic and powdered ginger. I find it easier to have them pre-measured before I toss them into the pot with the second leek. I let the leeks soften just a bit before I tossed in the beef and let the meat brown a bit. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022eca67798fc0513492f8a/1612903144584/IMG_7737.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry Sliced kabocha! It’s so pretty. I did ultimately cube them. You can see that some of the slices need to be sliced down more so that cubes are roughly 2cmx2cm. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022eca467392d2abecd4fdd/1612903082453/IMG_7729.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry Once the seeds are scooped out, the kabocha needs to be peeled. The skin isn’t particularly thick, and I think the contrast of the colours are lovely. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022ec9f0fca8374a25f6960/1612903014197/IMG_7725.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry While you’re carmelising the leeks, prepare the kabocha. The squashe needs to be halved the seeds scooped out. I’m scooping the seeds directly into a bowl for our compost bin. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022ec9ceaa8661cac6e2b24/1612902929972/IMG_7720.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry I didn’t bother to halve the round part of the leek, and you really don’t have to when you’re caramelising them. Be sure to break up the rounds as you stir. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022ec9453d41238d579ec1f/1612902092121/IMG_7719.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry From left to right, back to front: Mint, kabocha, leeks, serrano peppers, cilantro https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022ec9328c1671bd493472a/1612902885365/IMG_5902.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry I don’t prefer to wash my leeks before they’re sliced. Leeks have layers, and often dirt is trapped between the layers. The leeks need to be washed after slicing to ensure all the dirt is removed. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022ec7c8b244b538dfb1603/1612902009020/IMG_5899.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry Once the dark tops are cut off, there is usually a lighter green center that you can still use. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022ec7cceb1cc62dedb2577/6022ec7c1ea23571f0e8630c/1612901895510/IMG_5894.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry If you’ve never used leeks before, you need to slice off the dark green tops. The lighter green pieces are the bits that have the mild flavour most are looking for. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022e317bd4c5b1122361ba0/6022e7d333afe92d17ac55ce/1612900324205/IMG_5886.JPG Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022e317bd4c5b1122361ba0/6022e7d3611c633e639e6168/1612900319492/IMG_5887.JPG Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022e317bd4c5b1122361ba0/6022e7c4c465cc76fd0a7792/1612900307838/IMG_5876.JPG Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022e317bd4c5b1122361ba0/6022e7660f55490b5c25126e/1612900209692/IMG_5880.JPG Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022e317bd4c5b1122361ba0/6022e31fc0582276f9b160b1/1612899144611/IMG_5883.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022e317bd4c5b1122361ba0/6022e31fb7d35e286a811630/1612899144599/IMG_5879.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022e317bd4c5b1122361ba0/6022e317110723746314cf18/1612899145570/IMG_5878.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6022e317bd4c5b1122361ba0/6022e317ae05fe1efe9141bc/1612899108425/IMG_5877.jpg Blog - Beef and Kabocha Curry https://www.biayah.life/blog/the-biayah-hot-toddy monthly 0.5 2021-02-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6023f009eb85f10f85c1a08d/6023f020a03f004ba0d9c2df/1612983503572/IMG_5967.jpg Blog - The Biayah Hot Toddy Our friendly neighborhood Spec’s <3 The bourbon and cognac aisle is definitely my friend. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/6023f009eb85f10f85c1a08d/6023f0206725ba456cb02be1/1612983543673/IMG_5968.JPG Blog - The Biayah Hot Toddy The Frapin cognac is quite tasty!

The broccoli we found was small, and the stem was soft. If yours is older, feel free to discard the stems. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/60529732c190496c5f69d223/1616025470914/blend.png Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Blitz everything together and give it a taste. At this point, we added a bit of salt and a bit of brown sugar to balance out the taste.

I like this type of juicer because it gives me the option to also scrape the flesh of the lemons into the juice. The only drawback is having to fish out the seeds. The juice ends up nice and thick. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/6052931734fe3e6bf3a02a80/1616024422320/carrot.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing We used smaller carrots with the tops still attached. They always tend to be a bit sweeter, and the tops are edible if you’re so inclined. Chop off the green tops, peel the carrots, and chop roughly to make them easier to blend. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223ec4c7c7a62257f7f94/1616026367323/IMG_6682.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Garnish with some flat leaf parsley and enjoy! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223ec36ab511af5a583bc/1616026180113/IMG_6674.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing This dressing is too thick to pour, so spoon it over the salad. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223e8b9eb226ada6edf99/1616026000478/IMG_6653.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Once they’re done, plunge them into an ice bath.

If your eggs are at room temperature, bring your water to a boil before placing the eggs. Since they’re so small, they only need about 3 minutes in the boiling water. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223dc8d2ff61d8aafbaa8/1616025857707/IMG_6619.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Pretty grill marks! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223d7b9eb226ada6edf47/1616028664473/IMG_6606.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Trim the celery and slice thinly. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223d4abc4ee6d000cb1b4/1616026044168/IMG_6601.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Chop the spinach into bite sized pieces.

You can also brush the oil directly onto the vegetables. We left them for 5 or so minutes per side. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223d1de65784b362569a3/1616025910039/IMG_6578.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Quail eggs! If you’ve never had them before, they are a bit sweeter than chicken eggs. We really like them, but feel free to use any protein you like. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223cf3159514679f4625e/1616025756878/IMG_6572.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Be sure to peel the sweet potato and the beets. Note: Beet juice stains really easily, hence I chose to use a plastic cutting board. Brussel sprouts are small enough that slicing them in half is enough to cook them through when grilled. Be sure to slice the sweet potato medallions fairly thinly so that they can cook through completely when grilled. The beets we found were really small, so I chose to just cut them in half. This made for very firm beets, but we both like them that way. If you want softer beets, slice them into medallions instead. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223c9f07a3b7dc51db4fa/1616025564181/IMG_6543.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing These are the beets, brussel sprouts, and sweet potato. I really like all three of these vegetables grilled. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223c1480a3b2e5bba5157/1616025123021/IMG_6524.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing I started off with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Feel free to adjust this amount if you like a little more oil in your dressings. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223c1974a4a6b57edb1cd/1616024980307/IMG_6522.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Shallots have a sharper flavour than typical onions. They’re an ingredient that can easily overpower more delicate flavours, hence the small amount used. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223be121dd515df4b4752/1616024475053/IMG_6477.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing I prefer to peel the skin off the ginger when I’m blending it into something. You could grate it, but since it’s all going into the blender, a quick chop is just fine. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/605223a1e891f528c09ba980/1616023783101/dressing_prep.jpeg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing Carrot, shallot, ginger, meyer lemon, and olive oil. You are welcome to use any oil you prefer, though we found the fruity nature of olive oil really compliments the other components. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/605223904c7c7a62257f75fc/60522391543cc9277546a477/1615996705012/main-veg.jpg Blog - Seasonal Salad with Carrot and Lemon Dressing The seasonal produce available locally is my favourite way to eat produce.

The idea is to get everything coated with the spice mixture.

You can add a pinch of salt here if you’d like. I add just a pinch here to help the bell peppers soften. The bit of extra moisture also makes it easier to stir the spice mix through. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60738fe5316f9960ca9b5590/607394c8b2b8d46088a186cd/1618187508218/IMG_7044.jpeg Blog - Dad's Chili Add the garlic and stir it constantly until you just begin to smell the garlic. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60738fe5316f9960ca9b5590/607393bb3aeb4c2a727b6c70/1618187311914/IMG_7043.jpeg Blog - Dad's Chili I like to have all the spices mixed together before they go into the pot. I feel like it makes it easier to give all the flavours time to develop when I fry it in the leftover oil. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60738fe5316f9960ca9b5590/607393b080b1b227e3125a27/1618187240476/IMG_7036.jpeg Blog - Dad's Chili I tend to eyeball the measurements when I’m adding spices. If you don’t like one of the spices, don’t add it!

This dish really moves quickly, and I have definitely been caught on the hop by not having all the ingredients prepped before hand. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60738fe5316f9960ca9b5590/60739274bf267163e024e68c/1618187018890/ingredient-prep-1.png Blog - Dad's Chili While this dish comes together quickly, it gets better the longer it sits.

I think this part is fun because it always looks like so much and the leaves turn colours quickly. Once these are in, it usually only takes a minute or two before it’s ready to eat. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb628fd43071e6550aa7/1621610047580/IMG_8857.jpeg Blog - Tinola I have always used my wooden spoon to measure how much patis to add, and even though we’re using vegetarian fish sauce instead, the habit is still in place. This is the point at which I’m tasting and adjusting the flavour. I like to do this before I add the bok choy leaves. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb61442557630dced5c2/1621609966288/IMG_8854.jpeg Blog - Tinola About 20 minutes before we’re ready to eat, I add in the chayote and bok choy stems. The broth is getting nice and thick and rich. Since the stems and squash are so small, they only take about 20 minutes to cook. If you chop them into larger pieces, it may take longer. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb5f884aac737731aaad/1621609896884/IMG_8853.jpeg Blog - Tinola I couldn’t resist - I think this vegetable is so pretty when it’s all peeled and cubed. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb5f3d361178668fe79c/1621609863822/IMG_8841.jpeg Blog - Tinola Chayote squash is a really lovely colour and I like these to be fairly small chunks. We like a fair bit of it in our soup. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb5ed5bb325fd2707f70/1621609814419/IMG_8721.jpeg Blog - Tinola I like to prep the rest of the vegetables right after I put in the aromatics so that it’s done. The baby bok choy we had was pretty large, so I cut the stem end into eighths after I separated the leaves. Sometimes you only have to quarter them, but we like smaller, bite sized pieces. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb5dfe96d458d9bdc73c/1621609682148/IMG_8650.jpeg Blog - Tinola Onions going in. This step is one of my favourites because I know the house will start to smell amazing. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb5c064ee75be0ed0b9a/1621609655972/IMG_8649.jpeg Blog - Tinola I have removed all the foam from the chicken stock and the liquid is pretty clear. I like to add the slices of ginger first because it gives the onion something to land on. If I don’t I get splashed and that’s not fun. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb5a20a5810a36467cf7/1621609609528/IMG_8648.jpeg Blog - Tinola Ginger and onion ready to go.

I also don’t peel the ginger skin because I like the flavour, but if you don’t, feel free to peel the skin away. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb57a7a01358d9127a0a/1621609427145/IMG_8555.jpeg Blog - Tinola There are only a couple of veggies that go into making this dish. I’m using bok choy, chayote squash, onion, and ginger. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/60a7cb57521b425e82f458f0/60a7cb5743620916d2e9365a/1621609464706/IMG_8587.jpeg Blog -

Miso and dashi are salty, so the syrup adds balance. Maple syrup, honey, and agave have more complex flavours than other sweeteners, so I prefer them. I used just under a tablespoon. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600719cbcb5b206a05337b80/611be1ee12bf0269fafcbda4/611be1f4a798797aa35f88f1/1629217956343/IMG_9183.jpeg Blog - Hot Pot - Add Dashi Granules I keep instant dashi on hand.

Miso paste is really rich and needs to be thinned out with hot water. I used about two tablespoons all together and thinned it with about 3/4 cup of water.
