Cashew-Curry Noodle Bowl

April 30, 2015 by Epicurean Vegan

Cashew-Curry Noodle Bowl -- Epicurean VeganIt’s been quite a busy spring for me, but I hope to get back into the swing of things very soon. I did have some time to whip up something new—or at least, newish. I slightly tweaked the sauce from these Black Rice & Lentil Bowls and I love how it came out. These are pretty easy to throw together, but I admit, it does take a few pans. However, with the right timing, it’ll all go smoothly. In any case, it’ll be worth it; these are delicious! Also, here’s a before and after of our new kitchen. There’s still a few more things to do, such as put the cabinet and drawer hardware on, but we’re getting there.
Kitchen Before

Kitchen After

INGREDIENTS
Cashew-Curry Sauce

1 C cashews
3 cloves of garlic
1 can light coconut milk
2 Tbs fresh ginger
2 Tbs peanut butter
3 tbs lime juice
2 Tbs nutritional yeast
1 Tbs mild yellow curry powder
1 tsp salt
2 Tbs tamari or soy sauce
The rest
1 small head of broccoli florets
6-8 mushrooms, quartered
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
14-oz container extra firm tofu
Salt and pepper
9.5-oz pkg. Udon noodles
1 C green onion, sliced

DIRECTIONS
Start with soaking the cashews. I poured boiling water on them and let them sit while I prepared everything else. I recommend starting with the tofu. Cut the tofu into 5 or 6 slabs and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place in a skillet over medium to low heat and brown each side, about 5-7 minutes, per side. Meanwhile, steam the broccoli, bell pepper, and water chestnuts. (You’ll add the mushrooms shortly before they’re all done.) Steam the veggies for about 10-12 minutes before adding the mushrooms; steam another 5 minutes.
Cashew-Curry Noodle Bowl -- Epicurean VeganOnce the tofu is done, cut each slab into 6 cubes; set aside.

Cashew-Curry Noodle Bowl -- Epicurean VeganTo make the sauce, drain the cashews and add them to a food processor with the rest of the sauce ingredients and puree for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. Drain the noodles, then assemble the bowls: noodles, veggies, tofu, sauce, and green onion. Enjoy!

Lentil Burritos with Coconut-Garlic Cashew Sauce

January 6, 2015 by Epicurean Vegan

Lentil Burritos with Coconut-Garlic Cashew Sauce -- Epicurean VeganI’ve made similar burritos, but changed these up a little. You might be amazed at how easy these are to make, and in just over 30 minutes. I love the curry-garlic-coconutty-cashew flavor of the sauce which is perfectly matched with the lentils and veggies tucked inside a warm tortilla. They’re a great meal when you want something fast, healthy, and satisfying.

INGREDIENTS:
1 C red lentils
2-3/4 C vegetable broth
1 Tbs olive oil
2 medium red potatoes, peeled and diced small
1 C onion, chopped
1 medium zucchini, sliced, then cut in half
Salt and pepper, to taste
Coconut-Garlic Cashew Sauce
3/4 C cashews
3 garlic cloves
3/4 C canned coconut milk
1/2 tsp cumin
1-1/2 tsp yellow curry powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 Tbs nutritional yeast
The rest
1 C cilantro, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
6 flour tortillas, warmed

DIRECTIONS:
Place the cashews in a small bowl and pour in enough hot water to cover them; set aside. In a medium sauce pan, combine the vegetable broth and lentils. Bring to a boil, stir, and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 20-25 minutes, or until water is absorbed. If the lentils are soft, but there is still liquid left, drain them in a fine mesh strainer. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add the potatoes. Saute over medium heat until soft, but still a little firm, about 15-20 minutes.

Add the onion and cook another 5 minutes, then add the zucchini and cook 5-7 minutes.

To assemble, scoop some lentil filling into a warm tortilla, roll and top with cilantro, tomatoes, and drizzle with sauce. Enjoy!

Potato, Bean & Lentil Burritos with Cashew-Curry Sauce

September 8, 2014 by Epicurean Vegan

Potato, Bean and Lentil Burritos with Cashew-Curry Sauce -- Epicurean VeganIndian curry burritos?! You betcha. These knife-and-fork burritos are a tasty change up from the usual Mexican-style we’re all used to. I had a few combination ideas running through my head as I was trying to come up with the recipe . . . potato-zucchini? Lentil-potato? I just couldn’t decide, so I went with it all! Tucked inside the warm tortilla are potatoes, lentils, beans and red onion, topped with a cashew-curry sauce, some sauteed zucchini, green onion and finished with tomatoes and cilantro. Don’t be scared off by the number of ingredients or pans used in this recipe—everything is quite easy to make. (And you’ll be glad you did!)

INGREDIENTS:
1 C green lentils
3 C vegetable broth
1 Tbs olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large red onion, chopped
2 medium russet potatoes
1 15-oz can tri-bean blend (or black beans), drained and rinsed
Cashew-Curry Sauce
3/4 C cashews
1/2 C water, divided
12.3-oz pkg. silken tofu
1/4 C coconut flakes
1/2 tsp cumin
1-1/2 tsp yellow curry powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 Tbs nutritional yeast
Topping
1 tsp olive oil
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 C green onion, sliced
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 C cilantro, chopped
The rest
6 Flour tortillas

DIRECTIONS:
Start with preparing the lentils. In a medium sauce pan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. (I like to use Better Than Bouillon brand since I can make as much broth as I need without wasting any.) Stir in the lentils, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and let cook for about 25 minutes. I tasted the lentils when there was still a little liquid left and found that they were done, so I just used a fine strainer and drained the lentils. While they’re cooking though, I cooked the potatoes the microwave—roughly 8 minutes and then set them aside to let them cool. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet and add the garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add the red onion and cook until softened and beginning to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Cut the potatoes into chunks and add them to the skillet, along with the beans. Once the lentils are done, stir them into the potato mixture. I then sprinkled with some cumin and curry powder.

Potato, Bean and Lentil Burritos with Cashew-Curry Sauce -- Epicurean VeganTo make the sauce, puree the cashews with a 1/4 cup of the water. Next, add the remaining 1/4 cup of water and the rest of the sauce ingredients. Blend for a good 3-4 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a small saucepan and heat over low-medium heat to warm; whisk occasionally.

Grab a knife, grab a fork and dig in! Enjoy!

Vegetables Korma

May 18, 2011 by epicureanvegan

Vegetables Korma -- Epicurean VeganI saw this recipe in Vegetarian Times but I made several changes like using barley instead of rice and fresh vegetables instead of frozen. I really loved the flavors and heartiness of this meal. It makes quite a bit, so feel free to halve the recipe if only feeding two.

INGREDIENTS:
1 C barley
4 medium tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 white onion, cut into chunks
3 Tbs fresh ginger, minced
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp garam masala or curry powder
3/4 tsp ground cardamom
4 Tbs golden raisins (I used craisins)
2 C broccoli florets
1 C mushrooms, quartered
1 can waterchestnuts, chopped
1 zucchini, sliced then quartered
1-15oz can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 C coconut milk
Toasted peanuts, chopped

DIRECTIONS:
Cook the barley according to package instructions. You can use vegetable broth in the place of the water, if you’d like. Keep in mind, the barley will take 50-60 minutes to cook. Using a food processor, puree the tomatoes, onion, and ginger. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat; add the curry powder and cardamom; cook for 30 seconds. Add the puree and raisins to the pan. Simmer for a couple of minutes until it start to thicken.

Vegetables Korma -- Epicurean Vegan

Stir in the vegetables, garbanzo beans, and coconut milk. If it’s too thick, add a bit more coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper, if you’d like. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until veggies are tender.

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
