Tamarind Rice with Black Beans & Cotija Cheese

Tamarind rice, also called puliogare (pully-oh-ga-ray), is a South Indian dish usually prepared with fried peanuts. Sabra and I came up with our own version of this rice by adding black beans, roasted pablano peppers, red onion and cotija cheese. So good!

Last weekend, we made this rice for the Think Tank Potluck, a meeting for Greenpoint Food Market vendors. The meeting was held to discuss the impact of the recent NY Times article press on the market. Although the article was favorable, it brought to light that many of us don’t have permits, licenses or cook in commercial kitchens. The Greenpoint Food Market started as a small underground market where vendors could share homemade goods and test out recipes on the community in small quantities so this publicity kind of threw a wrench into the mix. As a result, the June market was cancelled and replaced by a panel of speakers from the Department of Health, City Council and owners of small food businesses.

What came about from the discussion was an idea for some of the vendors to open a cooperative incubator kitchen where we could offer cooking classes and sell some of our products in addition to having space in a commercial kitchen to prepare our foods. There was also talk of new legislation to make it easier and more affordable for vendors like us to sell at artisanal markets. It was encouraging to see individuals from different areas coming together to figure out how best to move forward, but it may take time for anything to change.

While you can’t eat me and Sabra’s tacos right now, make our rice! You could make your own puliogre mix, but MTR brand works just fine. It tastes really good and keeps for a while if you feel like making the rice from time to time. bank wire transfer hack, email wire transfer hack, can wire transfer be hacked, hackerone wire transfer, hackensack wire transfer, wire transfer hacK, can wire transfer be hacked, bank wire transfer hack, western union hacked, western union hackensack, western union hackettstown nj, western union hacked accounts, western union hackensack nj, western union hack free, western union hack, western union hack apk, western union hackers, western union hack download, western union hack, western union hack apk, western union hack app, western union account hack HIRE A HACKER TO FUND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AND PROJECTS.
