So of course I was eager to make something with the purple cauliflower from the farmers market. I mean hello, it’s purple! Simple is what I do best, so very simply I roasted the cauliflower along with butternut squash in a light coating of olive oil, agave nectar, coriander, ginger powder and red pepper flakes. It came out very tasty, with the butternut squash perfectly caramelized at the edges.
To go with this dish I also tried my hand once again at the infamous Veganomicon Chickpea Cutlets. This time around I was much more successful (you can read about my not so successful first try, here). What did I do differently this time around?
As suggested by Your Vegan Mom, I made sure to use the exact measurements of liquids so as to not mess up all the mysterious wheat gluten magic action. Since I didn’t want to use as much soy sauce as the recipe calls for (2 tablespoons), I instead used 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of Bragg’s and substituted the last 1/2 with water. Also, this time I fried them instead of baked.
The texture and consistency was much better. They are quite good! I had to use a lot more oil in order to fry them up nicely than I’d normally like to use when I cook (my fault for not using non-stick pans), so next time I’ll try baking them again but will make sure to use enough liquid, perhaps even a bit extra to compensate.
Before I forget, here’s a few more things I recently cooked up…
Yummy salad of red cabbage, fuji apple, garbanzo beans, lime juice, flax oil and ‘Bragg Healthy Organic Vinaigrette’.
Quinoa cooked with kale, garlic, coriander, cumin and turmeric.
Kamut pasta with a sauce made from walnuts, red bell pepper, garlic, lemon juice, flax oil, sambal, agave nectar and a dash of black pepper. Wow, this came out way better than I could have hoped for as I was inventing it on the fly. The picture doesn’t make it look very appetizing (that’s Nooch sprinkled on top btw), but you’ll have to take my word for just how good it tasted. Would I lie to you?
