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

[shyvas]

As I have 1/2 bottle of Desperados beer left, a Mexican theme would be nice.

If I have time, I'm planning on making some masa and wholewheat homemade tortillas.

Change of plan ; Steamed courgettes with spicy sauteed soya mince served with fresh guacamole and chipotle sauce. I finished the bottle of Desperados which paired well with the dish.

Raspberries with soya yogur/cream and stevia for dessert.

I made gyros with home made cucumber sauce, tomatoes, fried onions, fried mushrooms, fried tofu, lettuce and spinach. The gyros were hard to get a photo of but here's all the fixings:

The cucumber sauce sounds good!How did you make it?

 

[RascalsMom]

Silken tofu, chopped cucumber, salt & pepper - throw in a blender or food processor. It's very simple but tastes great.

 

[Everleigh]

Would a soft tofu work?Not sure I can get the silken here.

 

[RascalsMom]

Probably - I would just blend it a little before adding the cucumber, then blend it more. I forgot I also add 2 tablespoons of oil.

Vegan pizza of some kind is on the menu at our house tonight.

How much cucumber? And did you use a whole block/box?

May we have the entire recipe,RascalsMom?

I don't really measure things well. I used a block of silken tofu, one whole medium cucumber, 2 table spoons oil, and about 1-2 teaspoons of both salt and pepper. Chop the cucumber but it doesn't have to be too fine, because it wo get copped more. Just throw it all ina blender or food processor. A little lemon juice would probably do well in it, but I didn't have any.

Sorry I don't have a more concert recipe. I normally just throw things together.

That's ok.I wish I could just throw things together and have them turn out but most of the time when I do it's But this is good!

Tzatziki is a similar dish made with yogurt ( I use thick soya) finely chopped cucumber and fresh mint. You could off course sub. it with silken tofu.

That looks good. I used to get dairy Tzatziki sauce on falafel before I was vegan. I'm going to make this one next time.

Tzatziki is tasty with vegetable fritters or with crudités and off course, it's easy to make a vegan version.

Last night's dinner ; steamed courgettes with sauteed spicy soya mince with guacamole and chipotle sauce.

Tonight, I'm making a quinoa and raw vegetable salad, with carrots, cucumber, tomatoes served with a bowl of guacamole and carrot sticks, a sprinkle of Brewer's yeast. Lots of evo/cv dressing.

Some vegan doughnut flavoured ice cream is happily churning away for dessert.

 

[CrowCaw]

I'll be throwing together a stir-fry tonight. I have found a new obsession: agave nectar & bragg's liquid aminos for the sauce. I've always loathed soy sauce but somehow love the **** out of bragg.

Wholewheat penne with creamy courgette and lemon tofu sauce. Served with brewer's yeast, drizzle of evo and sea salt flakes.

Raspberries with soya yogurt/cream and stevia for dessert.
