Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

[Brian W]

A vegan Tex Mex pie with cauliflower and sugar snaps and new potatoes tossed in a little rapeseed/olive oil, followed by rhubarb crumble with a creamy dessert for dinner. For supper, vegan vanilla ice cream with cherry sauce. I don't know yet whether or not we will munch on our pistachio halwa or leave it till tomorrow. It might be too much sweet stuff for one day.

We had vegan "chicken" tikka masala with roasted garlic rice and mini naans.

roasted garlic rice

How do you make that?

How do you make that?

I actually bought a packet of Uncle Bens but it can't be difficult to make.

I got local corn today! So I will be having a zucchini cake with vegan tartar sauce, sliced tomato splashed with balsamic vinegar, and an ear of corn.

I was expecting a recipe. I do find your honesty a little amusing though, no offense.

This recipe could be as simple as roasting some garlic bulbs, squeezing roasted garlic into a saute pan and frying the rice with it. It's really is just a matter of infusing garlic flavour into your rice. You could even just saute the garlic, instead of roasting it, although roasted garlic does have a different flavour.

I should try, I often get garlic flavors wrong when I use it this way. Like I might simmer it with some oil, then remove it and add the rice
Or even better--saute garlic scapes, or maybe add them to the rice while it's cooking?
I had a jar of Better than Boullion garlic and haven't seen it since! I think no chik'n BTB and roasted garlic is probably just fine
I'd add no chik'n broth to the cooking rice. Haven't made rice in some time.....

today was vegan pizza day
I ordered a Thai pizza with a Thai style sauce, 'chik'n' pieces which seemed like pre frozen tofu texture and seasoned, red peppers, roasted jalepanos, and mushrooms. My son wanted this one, didn't appeal to me. He doesn't like it- at all! I don't either. Need like pineapple and more sauce. Jalepanos cause me to gasp for air and cough. To bad cause I liked them

The other was all vegan sausage, pepperoni, bacon, ham and meatballs and topped with a vegan mozz., I don't how this place does it, but these are the best vegan meat's I've had besides Beyond Italian sausage. There mozz is great! Sticky yes, but in the right way, not snotty, and tastes good. This one was a test of their meats, and I was surprised

Portobello mushroom stuffed with beefy tomato and lentils. I have no idea how it's going to turn out, but I'll update.



It seems like can't get my lentils to cook well enough I boiled them for like an hour and 20 minutes then I roasted them for a half hour. Otherwise pretty good and extra umami.

Jeez red quinoa. This is the first time I've tried it, instead of rice with a cannellini bean stew. It smells burnt before cooking, it somehow smells burnt during and after boiling, and it tastes burnt. Not a nice caramel burnt either, but a nasty charcoal one. Not impressed.

Monday night we had Tasty Bites on rice and last night I had just a few pieces of grapefruit and then 1/2 a bag of corn puffs

Has anyone tried red or black quinoa by the way? Is that how it's meant to taste?

 

[Emma JC]

last night was a failed experiment... my honey was watching a youtube video with a fusion garlic asian spaghettini and since it is our favourite food he thought he would try it - it had oyster sauce in it and since I still had the vegan oyster sauce in the fridge he attempted it... I should have thrown that sauce out after not liking it the first time - we did eat it, however, it was not good and we don't do it again

No. I'm not even fond of white quinoa. I'd thought of maybe trying the other varieties, but now I think I'll pass!
You rinsed well, right?

 

[silva]

Kinda curry. I threw in cauliflower, green beans, yellow pepper and onion with loads of curry powder, coriander and cardamom, BTB no chik base in a cup of water, & a can of tomatoes on top for 2 min pressure. After it was done I added some coconut milk that's been in the freezer.
Don't know why I don't do this more often, it always seems to come out well. I also made rice

And chickpeas- Aldi canned chickpeas that used to be ok, now I don't think they're cooked enough. I thought being in the IP would do it, but they haven't changed. I should just face it, I don't like them anymore

No, but I now see from the web that rinsing is recommended. The packet said to use the 2 parts water to 1 part grain method, so I just went straight in with that. Next time I'll tie it in a muslin bag and leave it in a fast running stream for a week!
