26 grit recipes

A vegan cima roll: pureed tofu wrapped around a colorful filling of seitan, spinach, roasted red peppers, pistachios, and peas, then steamed into a sliceable log. Plant-based Italian showpiece.

Spicy black-eyed peas simmered with cumin, chili powder, dry mustard, canned tomatoes, and Tabasco. A quick Southern side dish served over rice or with grits.

Almond paste macaroons with cornmeal for a subtle Southern grit and honey for floral sweetness. Piped, flattened, and baked on parchment until golden with chewy centers.

A crusty Cajun yeast bread loaded with three kinds of pepper: black, cayenne, and hot sauce. Polenta adds grit and crunch while garlic and parsley bring herby depth. Baked with steam like French bread.

Buckwheat waffles use yeast-risen batter with buckwheat flour and molasses for deep, nutty flavor and an airy crisp grid. Old-fashioned overnight-style waffles with character that quick-batter recipes can't match.

Making your own bread is always the way to go, it fills your entire place with great aroma during the baking, and nothing is better than a fresh loaf of bread.

Aromatic dhal with soaked green lentils, fresh tomatoes, and cinnamon sticks simmered in spiced ghee for a warming vegetarian curry that pairs perfectly with naan.

This is the other dhal we made yesterday, when the cooking was close to the end, added some spinach that was cooked with garlic, dried hot chili peppers and mustard seeds, which gave the dhal extra zing and tang, another delicious dhal recipe, of course another good recipe that you can serve with naan bread and raita :)

A fudgy chocolate brownie cake steamed in a pot-within-a-pot using shelf-stable ingredients like dried eggs and buttermilk powder. Ideal for camping, off-grid baking, or when you don't have an oven.

I have made lots of yeast based naan bread, and finally gave these fry bread a go. It was like a quick version of naan bread, but still had great flavour and texture. I guess when I am in a hurry, this recipe will be my option.
