50 Recipes 2011, #42 & 43: smothered mushrooms and kale; jackfruit curry
#41, smothered mushrooms and kale. Yes, it's a Rachael Ray recipe. Deal with it. I even own one of her cookbooks (bought before she had her massive entertainment empire), and it's really not bad at all, despite being a little too meat-heavy for my taste.
Anyway, I had mushrooms and kale that had to be used, and wanted to try something a little different than my usual garlicky kale and lemony mushroom recipes. This one is quite simple, although I think it calls for too much fat; I used a tablespoon total of olive oil and butter for half the amount of kale and mushrooms called for and felt like I got enough flavor. Would make again.
#42, jackfruit curry. I'd never even thought about cooking with jackfruit until I was watching The Great Food Truck Road Race (... yeah, I know), saw the vegan truck making "pulled pork" with jackfruit, and realized I had to give this fruit a try.
I didn't have the lime leaves called for in the recipe, so I subbed lime zest and some extra basil leaves in the curry, and oh my god, I could have just poured the coconut curry sauce in my mouth and been happy. But the point of this exercise was not to drink curry sauce; it was to cook jackfruit, which turned out to taste much like artichoke hearts and was really good in the curry. I'm definitely going to pick some more up next time I'm at an Asian market so I can make kathal kabobs.

I love mushrooms and kale. That is way too much fat, though, (and I am a big fan of fat.)
