DH and I used to eat this all the time at a restaurant called The Helmand when we lived in Baltimore. It's one of their signature appetizers (vegetarian), but we're going to eat it as a main meal tonight. It's essentially a really sweet sugar pumpkin covered in a garlic yogurt sauce. Think Afghani version of a sweet and sour dish.

Here are both vegetarian and meat versions of the recipe:

Vegetarian Version

Meat Version

Another Meat Version

My Version of Kaddo Borwarni

I'm going to make some with and without meat tonight. It has an awful lot of sugar in it though which scares me! I'm going to cut back on the sugar and see what happens.

ETA: My version that I made last night.

I've come to the conclusion that my husband and kids just don't WANT to give up meat. So I make regular meals and then don't eat the meat portions. Works fine!

Monday: Man Pleasin' Chicken (Thank you Hayley!), Mashed Cauliflower, Caesar salad.

Tuesday: Spaghetti, Sauteed Zucchini, Red Sauce, Garlic Knots

Wednesday: Rosemary Dijon pork loin, Roast potatoes, gravy, Sugar Snap peas

Thursday: Catcher's Catch Can

Friday: Diner Night.. I play short order cook and they have choice of: Eggs any way, sausage, bacon, homemade hash browned potatoes, toast, juice (tomato, orange, cranberry), pancakes or frozen waffles.

Saturday: Halloween Party

This isn't mine.. Hayley (Maybeamommy) posted it somewhere else! But here's her words:

'If you haven't already tried "man-pleasing" chicken from Pinterest... get to it! It's woman and kid pleasing also :) all you do is mix 1/2 cup dijon mustard with 1/2 cup pure maple syrup. Pour that over chicken thighs (I prefer bone in skin on) seasoned with salt and pepper. Bake 40-60 minutes at 450. You can add fresh rosemary and 1 tbsp of rice vinegar as recipe calls for, but its just as good without'

She notes the skin gets crisp - which is always a plus. I'm trying it tonight!
