Cooking has never come naturally to me. Cooking to me can sometimes seem intimidating and overwhelming so I typically will stick with making things I know and can't mess up like pasta or my lunch go to of turkey bacon and eggs with tortillas. I want to start being a little more adventurous with my cooking skills and learn to be more confident with the dishes I serve. So I have decided to try cooking every dish in The Forest Feast by Erin Gleason. Consider her my Julia Child...
My boyfriend gave me her book for Christmas and I have made just one thing so far (Rosemary Roasted Nuts) and it came out really well, I think! As I am deathly allergic to nuts, I left him to be the judge! The book is AMAZING! It is so colorful and beautifully photographed, I could look at it every day. The book has great fresh recipes that are simple to make and great for someone that is trying to develop their cooking abilities. So here goes my attempt at cooking...
:INGREDIENTS:
6 purple potatoes*
1/2 C greek yogurt
2 TBSP olive oil
1/2 tspn garlic powder
salt and pepper
* I couldn't find regular sized purple potatoes and as I was leaving Mariano's I found a display with a variety of fingerling potatoes. So I stood there rummaging through the basket and picking out just the purple ones. Just a tip incase you can't find larger ones!
:RECIPE:
1. Boil 6 purple potatoes for 15-20 minutes(until tender).
2. Peel the potatoes.
3. Combine in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mash until smooth.
4. Garnish with greek yogurt and chopped scallions and ENJOY!
The recipe was incredibly easy to follow an they came out beautifully!
