Panjim Nights

Goan Food Evening

Maybe its the fact that moving around the Algarve this summer has been so evocative of many places
I've been, and memories of places from decades ago. The bougainvilleas, red tiled roofs, whitewashed farm buildings and the sight of slightly feral looking happy pigs and donkeys shading themselves from the noon day sun. I could be talking about Goa, the other Portugal, where vestiges of Portuguese food still linger on in the menus and in the local recipes. So to end this Indian summer and to celebrate my lovely wife's birthday; a trip to old Goa.

Oaxaca on Saturday night

Dear Friends and Patrons,
Oaxaca, the deep heart of Mexico, the home of the Maya, giver of food to the world. Avocado, tomato, Corn and chilly and so much else. When I discovered  that Chilly came from the new world, it shook me to my Indian gastronomic core. Indian food or Thai food in a time before Chilly! How much we have been gifted...
In homage to that (and my Mexican chilly collection thanks to my old friend Barry) we visit Mexico.

thanks to mexicanwave.com for the pic

Menu
Guacamole and fresh salsa with fried bread
Grilled corn and Ceviche salad
Black mole enchiladas
Tiramisu
Coffee and House cocktail.

Direction to our place
1 km after leaving Casais 3km from Monchique town, turn left up the hill at the very first road, just before you hit the first building.
Bunch of mailboxes on the corner, small sign saying Portela Baixa./ Serenada
Follow the little wiggly tarmac road up,carry on (past the gravel road on your right which goes to Fionas)
The road makes a bend to the left, right there on the corner. Right at the corner is a dirt track which rises steeply up behind the road
follow it all the way up to the house.

From Monchique
take the Casais road at the Nave Quarry and carry on that road towards Casais.3km
Just before you leave the Monchique area the Portela Baixa turning is on the right up the hill.
If you start going downhill round a bend with
a red house across the valley you've just gone too far and missed the Portela Baixa turning.

Dear Friends,
whilst in New Mexico I periodically, or should i say erratically wrote a food blog. It has a few decent recipes as well as some thoughts and musings on food, nutrition and even a little philosophy. Thought I might share it
http://rustyindian13.blogspot.pt

Supper club will be on again this coming Saturday night.
By request Indian food will feature again. Will post a menu later today or tomorrow.

take care

A midsummers nights meal

I guess summer has finally arrived after months of ambivalence and indecision. Trees are laden with soft fruit, markets have become ever more abundant and my inclinations immediate turn to salads, fruit and cooling herbs.Rather going with geography, Im going with season and a menu that reflects delightful summer freshness and plenty. 
Chilled cucumber soup
Melon and presunte de Porco preto
Fish with herbs, butter and garlic, with a caper and chipotle cream sauce
Rice with a medley of baby veg
Plum and strawberry summer pudding
House Cocktail and coffee

love and blessings

OH Kerala !

Well, Joni Mitchell would've sung it if she'd ever eaten there...no direspect to Canadians intended.

So its about time we revisited the sub continent, its been ten years since I was last in India and my heart always yearns to travel east especially to Kerala the gentle queen of the south: Kerala is coconut palms, bananna trees, dense jungles,the home of Ayurveda and the ancient spice trade, with its cardomom, coffee and  pepper, its magnificent sandalwood forests tigers and elephants.
I cant promise an elephant, but I hope we can create a little taste of that other southwest here in the genial, temperate Algarve.

Some homemade vegetable samosas ( beloved snack of all India)
A traditional Kerala fish curry
Cardomom Rice
Mango Raita
Cococonut and Banana Burfi.
House cocktail and coffe

hope to see you Friday..
