Mash potatoes, English peas...roasted fresh carrots with tops/ trimmed...in a molasses glaze.

I will later make chicken stock from chicken carcass and use that for noodle soup this weekend.

Glazed carrots:

these are simple, fast and sooooo good. A crowd favorite.

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: cauliflower florets, chopped green bell pepper and red onion, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. When done I added Patak’s Jalfrezi Curry simmer sauce and air- fried crispy tofu and simmer for 5 minutes. Served over organic brown basmati rice. Iced black tea with lemon. Cheers!

Jalfrezi is a stir-fried curry dish originating in Bengal and popular throughout South Asia. Jalfrezi means "hot-fry."

Jalfrezi curry is one of our favorite dishes at the our favorite Indian restaurant. They use jalapeños in their recipe and it’s quite hot. The jarred versions aren’t nearly as hot, but they are tasty. Thanks for the definition 😊
