Hi. Havent posted here in a long while but last night I was seized by holy fire / Satan herself and committed a crime against God and Italy.



Belacan Puttanesca. Yes, south east asian shrimp paste. Yes, whore style pasta sauce. Replace anchovies 1:1 with this stuff. olives, roast capsicum and mushrooms in the bowl that the bottles were obscuring but throw in your usual puttanesca stuff.




What you end up with is an incredible funky umami dish that will drive you insane if you already loved puttanesca but thought it could be even moreso.



Anyway. Have fun with this knowledge. I'm going to try replacing anchovies in more recipes with fried belacan. We're already forsaken by god!

mmm eggies. Also thanks!

I made this last night


Coconut vegetable laksa curry. Made the paste from scratch because I wanted to test out a recipe without garlic and onions because the gf has a bad allium intolerance. Tasted pretty drat good.

Lotus root, carrot, potato and bamboo shoots, the laksa paste and coconut cream. Next time I want some tofu puffs to throw in this.
