Tofu Cutlets

Tofu cutlets and veggie steam-fry.

Taking a page of improv from Chloe Fox’s book, reminds me that tofu can be tasty if not in that factory salt-chem-paste or deep fried restaurant haste. I like the principle of her cookbook in that it talks about the properties of ingredients and substitutions. People don’t learn to cook by […]

Grazing

Brown lentil, hummus, sliced radish and fennel flush on a rice cake. That lentil stew made enough for 6 good-sized servings and thickens up a lot overnight. Works to freeze.

A box macaroni and cheese and quiet evening.

Can’t Hurry On, Curry on Rice

Epicurious’ red lentil curry on Lundberg blend of Wehani®, long grain brown rice and Black Japonica™ cooked with a sprinkle of dehydrated veggies.
As comments on the recipe suggested I doubled the spicing. It still wasn’t really spicey.
2 red shallots, finely chopped
2 Tbs olive oil
2 frozen ginger cubes
1 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1/4 […]

Lima and Orzo

Why don’t we eat lima beans more? They grow here. They are tasty, nutritious, and cook fast. Funny how we forget some foods. Also cucumber chopped into drained yogurt mixed with dill and chives. Orzo topped with basil pesto.

Later some strawberries on the grass by the canal.

Veggies and Mark it with V

A pie marked with a V for v_____ (voom velocity? very vitamined?)___ with veggies (potato, parsnip, tomato, red onion and zucchini).
The Commensal sietan pie is to emulate a Quebecois tortiere. No crumble. The texture was more towards chicken pot pie. Sort of sweet-spiced.

The veggies were baked a la Jamie Oliver, in tinfoil pocket with olive […]

Spring Onion Crepes and Steamed Veggies

Broccoli, peas in pod things, mung beans and tofu steamed with a spring onion crepe

from the Yen Fung Ding Dumpling Shoppe.

That’s the tofu that’s been marinating in olive juice. It took a few days to pick up any of the flavour. It seems to soak in spice faster.
