CreamTunaSpinach-wrapped memories 🎁

Pita wraps and cream bring fond memories, of me in my 2nd-trimester 1stborn baby bump with a HUGE craving for a pita-wrapped goodness of creamy tuna. And craving always satisfied by a fave stall called Pita Wraps.

A very welcome healthy twist to tuna wraps is the iron-rich spinach leaves add-on, which my locality has plenty supply of. Other alternatives would be kale, and other similar greens.

And here was 1 of my many takes.


Ingredients-

2 garlic shredded

2 generous knobs of butter*

2 cans of spicy tuna in oil

Pinch of salt

Dash of pepper

1/2 tsp chili flakes

1 can cream

1 pack of spinach leaves

1/2 cabbage diced (optional)

1/2 apple diced (optional)

1 tsp lemon juice

pratha or wraps


Steps-

Saute garlic in butter, add salt.

Add tuna, cook for 3 minutes.

Optional to add a bit of the oil from the can. But for healthier version, leave that out.

Spinach goes in, saute for a minute.*

Add the apple bits. Saute ~2 minutes.*

(You can switch up these 2 ⤴️, it's all up to your preferred doneness; the earlier it gets into the pan, the more cooked it gets).

Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

Pour the cream. Mix well.

Add the lemon juice.

Taste, and tweak if needed.


And finally, slather thick or thin to your favorite wraps, and take a bite!

Made more memory connections with my kids with this-- many a warm meal of Spice n Cream Tuna Wraps shared while they're growing up. Mmm. Good, good, good. 
Someday, I hope they'll remember these times fondly too.

Creamy Miso πŸ₯£

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...

a feast for the eyes

Are you both a foodie and a movie buff? If so, then surely you love watching on the big screen movies that largely incorporate scrumptious food! For being such deliciously charming movies, what are your favorites? Top in my list are these two:   1.  Ratatouille (2007)  Set in France, this is the story of an unlikely friendship of a one-of-a-kind rat, Remy, and a hard up, clumsy but kind young man, Linguini; where one has an unusually refined taste for a rodent, and the other an unbeknownst inheritance. Their circumstances take them to a partnership they never imagined to reach for their dreams! This being a family movie that entertains the young and young once is a huge plus! 2.  Chef (2014)  This is a heartfelt and funny story of a 50-something chef in California. He is divorced and had no time for his young son. His career once started promisingly; foodies were on the lookout for his gastronomic creations. But pressure from the restaurant's pr...

Hummus try this!

Hummus is long overdue; this was my hubby's request for the longest time already. The classic take is always using chickpeas. M y easy excuse was that chickpeas here in our region is not as cheap; no main ingredient, no hummus! 😝 But ever so thankful for foodies around the world who share their recipes online... was I happy t o find that there are versions using eggplants, squash, and cauliflower!!! Definitely cheaper alternative to the peas. F or sure there are quite a few more options out there. But Google already had me at eggplants . Our eggplant hu mmus turned out delicious. Hummus really try this!  Sorry, but pun intended 😁.  This hummus is apparently called Baba Ganoush, originating from the Arab region.  (F ile exotic name in a shelf along long-term memory aisle. Check!  Ohhh lots of yummy dishes in those places. But that's for another day in the kitchen. For now...)   Let me it note down for future Arabian-esque dinner nights at home. Baba G...
