All that is waffle is not waffle-shaped.
Not all who make waffle juice are lost.
Old waffle makers are less fun that new ones,
Although they make up for that with the cost.
From the waffle juice shall waffles be woken,
However hard it is to clean the darn thing.
Eaten anyway shall be waffle that is broken.
The waffle-less shall again be waffling.
I made a beetroot / cauliflower / mushroom curry last night. The beetroot and cauliflower were both chopped and baked in the oven first. Then onion and garlic was fried in coconut oil, after which various curry spaces were added and cooked a couple of minutes longer before adding a tin of coconut milk and all of the baked beetroot and simmering for a while. Then that mixture got blended into a spicy red sauce to be added to the baked cauliflower. Mushrooms weren’t in the recipe at all, but I had a heap of them that I wanted to use up, and how could mushrooms in curry go wrong? So I cooked those in the pot while I was doing the blending bit, and then they got added to the rest when it all got combined. It was a good decision. Yum!
I was up a bit late cooking that, and then ate way too much of it before going to bed, but I regret nothing!
Thanks for sharing the recipe. It‘s a bit like Tarte Tatin brownies.
