Asian Coleslaw

August 14, 2010 by epicureanvegan

We received another head of cabbage from our CSA this week and I wanted to try making an Asian version of coleslaw.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cone-headed cabbage before. . .anyway, this is would great as a side dish, in a wrap with Asian-spiced seitan, baked tofu strips, or with plum sauce and sauteed tempeh.

INGREDIENTS:
1 head of cabbage, sliced thin/shredded
3 Tbs rice vinegar
3 Tbs vegetable oil
1-1/2 Tbs Shoyu (you can also use tamari or soy sauce)
1-1/2 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs grated ginger root
1 tsp garic, minced
1 large carrot, grated
1 yellow or red bell pepper, sliced thin
1/2 C fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/8 C Vegenaise
3 green onions, sliced thin
1/4 C sunflower seeds
1/4 C slivered almonds

DIRECTIONS:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together vinegar, vegetable oil, shoyu, brown sugar, ginger root, Vegenaise, and garlic. Add cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, sunflower seeds, and slivered almonds. With a rubber spatula, fold and stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Enjoy!

For this, I layered on some plum sauce, the coleslaw and some teriyaki baked tofu on a tortilla, then warmed it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Fold in half and enjoy a quick and tasty lunch or dinner!

Easy Cole Slaw

August 3, 2010 by epicureanvegan

We received a head of cabbage in our CSA this week, and as I stared at it, wondering what to do with it, I ended up with the obvious: cole slaw. The original recipe is from Bobby Flay and all I had to do was veganize it—pretty simple. I really like the flavors in this slaw—not too tangy, but not bland like some slaws tend to be.

INGREDIENTS:
1 head green cabbage, finely shredded ( I think a combo of red and green would be great)
2 large carrots, finely shredded
3/4 cup Vegenaise
2 tablespoons Tofutti sour cream
2 tablespoons grated Spanish onion
2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons celery salt,
Salt and freshly ground pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.

Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Add to the cabbage mixture. Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning; add more salt, pepper, or sugar if desired. Enjoy!

Breakfast Frittata

I absolutely love to cook in the morning, but I rarely get a chance to do so. But when I saw this recipe from Kelly at Vegan Thyme, I knew I had to make the time. It’s easy to make and you can use your favorite ingredients. (It’s a great recipe for cleaning out the fridge)!

INGREDIENTS:
Crust:
1 small pkg. sliced mushrooms (about 1-1/2 cups)
1 small onion, diced
3/4 C crackers, broken into medium-sized pieces
1 garlic clove, minced
Olive oil
A couple dashes of: thyme, rosemary, parsley, and smoked paprika
Filling:
I peeled and diced up three small potatoes, half a red bell pepper, and about a cup of diced red cabbage. Feel free to use whatever you’d like —maybe some hashbrowns, zucchini, artichokes, tempeh bacon or spinach.
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegan cheddar, shredded

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. In a large pan, heat olive oil, then add garlic. Saute mushrooms and onions until soft and tender. Season with thyme, rosemary, parsley, and paprika (or your favorite spices). Pour into a pie plate and press down with a spoon to create a crust. Layer on crackers and some cheese.

In the same pan, saute the potatoes, cabbage, and bell pepper.

Season with salt and pepper and cook, covered for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don’t worry about cooking it all through since it will be in the oven. Pour onto the crust.

Then another layer of cheese. (Moe came to investigate what I was doing):

Bake uncovered for 25 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into it. Enjoy! Thanks, Kelly! This is a fabulous recipe!

Portobello Tacos with Salsa Verde

May 4, 2010 by epicureanvegan

This recipe from Vegetarian Times serves 6–easily. The salsa verde–at least 10! It makes a lot of sauce, so next time I’ll probably halve the recipe for that. I also found the sauce a bit bland, so I added a bit more salt. The original recipe is for grilled portobellos, but I decided to saute them. These were very yummy and the marinade was simple and delicious.

INGREDIENTS:
Marinade:
1/3 C canola oil
3 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tsp black pepper
Tacos:
6 large portobello mushroom caps
6-6″ soft corn tortillas (can easily get 12 tacos from this recipe–and I think I prefer flour tortillas)
2 avocados, sliced
2 C chopped tomatoes
3 C shredded cabbage
Vegan sour cream
Salsa Verde:
4 tomatillos, chopped (or 1 C canned)
1 large green bell pepper or poblano chili, roughly chopped (I used the bell pepper–may have been why I found it bland)
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, leaves only
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbs agave nectar
1-1/4 C canola oil
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS:
If using the grill, preheat grill for high heat.

To make marinade: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

To make tacos: Brush mushroom caps with marinade. Grill mushrooms 3-5 minutes per side. Cool until easy to handle, then slice into strips. (I actually poured the marinade in a zip lock bag and added the mushrooms, letting them marinate for about an hour. Then I sliced them and sauteed them in a large skillet for about 5 minutes).

To make salsa verde: Puree all ingredients in a food processor 1 minute or until smooth. Pour salsa over mushroom strips and let stand 10-15 minutes. (I just scooped a couple of tablespoons of the salsa into the taco). Lightly warm tortillas 15 seconds per side in a skillet or in grill.

Fill tortillas with sliced mushrooms, avocado slices, tomatoes, and cabbage. Top each with sour cream, if using. Enjoy!
