Sprinkles make food more exciting, flavorful and colorful.
Here is Yellow Cab Pizza’s Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta sprinkled with green onions and bits of chili flakes:
Spicy, yes. I love it!
Tupperware Quick Chef Food Processor
I thought I didn’t have kitchen gadgets to write about which is this week’s Lasang Pinoy Sundays theme. Well, I do! *insert Plurk banana dance here 😀
I would have taken a photo of my (almost) newly bought Rubbermaid can opener as suggested my Munchkin Mommy but then I thought about my Tupperware Quick Chef Food Processor which is rarely used. Mine though is bigger and colored white, because its older than the one in the link.
In fact I think I have had this for several years but have used it less than ten times only.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I used this de-mano gadget to chop tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil together for a pasta dish.
The tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil (when my basil plant was still “alive”) sitting in the Tuppeware Quick Chef Food Processor.
This was the dish when it was finally cooked:
Bubba Gump’s Spicy Jambalaya Pasta
This is my first entry (and hopefully not the last) for Lasang Pinoy, Sundays which is sponsored by a dear (virtual) friend, Ces.
When I got an invite last week to go to TriNoma’s Bubba Gump Shrimp Company to have lunch with “Forrest Gump” I just needed to check what day the lunch date falls on and when I saw that I do not have to go to work that day, I replied with a “YES!”
Well, not exactly just that word but of course, I said “yes, I will be glad to accept the invitation…”
I know “Forrest Gump” was from Alabama which is one of the Southern states, known for their spicy, hearty and creamy Southern, Creole and Cajun cooking. Looking at the simple ingredients incorporated to make the dish Spicy Jambalaya Pasta, one can only wonder why Filipinos have not really thought about using seafood with pasta, not until the introduction of Italian and yes, Southern cooking style.
Jambalaya means cooking all ingredients, meat and vegetables and stock in just one pan. Isn’t this how our grandmothers made Paella and (my father’s favorite) Arroz Valenciana?
Seafood is one of the many riches of the country although sad to say, these are expensive, especially the shrimps and crabs, that ordinary home makers may find too expensive for everyday cooking.
Filipinos love spicy food so it is not a question at all that this dish is one that can be appreciated by those who love both seafood, pasta and anything spicy.
