Breakfast Polenta Stacks with Rosemary White Beans

Breakfast Polenta Stacks with Rosemary White Beans

Today’s Breakfast Polenta Stacks have all the appearance of a hangover cure. They’ve got cheese, fried eggs with deliciously frizzled edges and shatteringly crisp bacon. Oh! And beans, can’t forget them. Beans are central to the recovery process thanks to their powers of absorption and general bulk. But I did not serve these Breakfast Polenta Stacks as a Sunday brunch alongside hair-of-the-dog. I ate these bad boys for Friday night dinner whilst in the process of getting drunk and, man, did it feel spectacularly good…Please drink responsibly.

Roasted Eggplant with Apricot lamb Meatballs and Artichoke Hummus

But one good thing did come out of this rocky time and no, I’m not talking about my (super useful) art history degree. I’m talking about the recipe for these stellar Sweet Potato Bean Burritos.

Egg Vindaloo with Green Beans & Cumin-Scented Rice

Egg Vindaloo with Green Beans and Cumin-Scented Rice

What’s your go-to order when you hit an Indian restaurant? For Bae and I, it always includes a vindaloo but we don’t have a strict allegiance to any particular type. Chicken, lamb, beef – bring it! But I have never in my life seen the likes of an Egg Vindaloo on an Indian restaurant’s menu. Perhaps, I have not been eating in the right places, because according to the Internet, egg vindaloo isn’t some new age vindaloo. It’s actually quite common in Goa, the homeland of vindaloo.
