September 17, 2014 by Epicurean Vegan

Coconut Curry Over Ginger-Lime Rice -- Epicurean VeganYou’re probably expecting me to throw some lentils in this dish . . . and I probably would have if I had any! With or without lentils, this curry dish, full of veggies, is packed full of flavor and perfect over the ginger-lime rice. This is such a fast and easy dish that I don’t even have more pictures for you! But don’t worry, you won’t need them; dinner will be ready in 30 minutes!

INGREDIENTS:
2 medium russet potatoes
1 Tbs coconut oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2″ pieces, then cut in half
3 C mushrooms, quartered
2 Tbs yellow curry powder
3/4 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne
1 C vegetable broth
2 cans coconut milk
2 C rice
1 Tbs fresh ginger
Zest from one lime
4-5 green onion, sliced

DIRECTIONS:
Start with microwaving the potatoes until they are just soften; set aside and let them cool a little before  slicing and cutting into cubes.  In a large soup pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat and add the garlic; cook 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Next, add the zucchini and cook another 5 minutes. Stir in the curry powder, garam masala, salt and cayenne and coat the vegetables well. Add the broth and coconut milk, stir well, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large pot, mix the ginger and lime zest with 4 cups of water and stir in the rice.

Chipotle-Lime Pasta with a Cream Sauce and Avocado

November 21, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Vegan MoFo, Day 21

Chipotle-Lime Pasta with a Cream Sauce and Avocado -- Epicurean VeganI picked up some Pappardelle’s Whole Wheat Chipotle Lime pasta and since it has a bit of kick, I figured a cream sauce would be ideal to go with it. I also had an avocado on-the-verge of being tossed, so it all came together beautifully!

INGREDIENTS:
8-oz Chipotle Lime pasta
2 tsp garlic, minced
2 Tbs Earth Balance margarine
2 Tbs flour
1 C almond milk
2 Tbs Vegan Parmesan cheese
1 tsp lime juice, plus a little more for thinning, if needed
1/2 C Tofutti sour cream
2 green onions, sliced (white and green parts)
1/3 C fresh cilantro, chopped
5-6 mushrooms, diced
1 avocado, diced

DIRECTIONS:
Cook pasta 10-12 minutes, or until al dente. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat margarine and garlic. Whisk in the flour. Once the flour is thoroughly combined, whisk in the almond milk, then the sour cream and Parmesan. Stir in the lime juice, mushrooms, cilantro, and green onions. Add more lime juice, if needed.

Ladle the sauce over single servings of pasta and top with the diced avocado. Enjoy!

Sweet Chili Lime Tofu

July 7, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Sweet Chili Lime Tofu -- Epicurean VeganThis recipe is tofu-licious! Even though the recipe has a long list of ingredients and you’ll need 3 pans and a bowl, it was extremely easy and it was done in about 25 minutes. I recommend doubling the sauce. As it is, it makes a great glaze for the tofu, but I would have liked it a little more saucy. It made about 5 servings and as I was eating the final pieces of tofu, I was thinking that these would be great toothpicked (minus quinoa and kale) and served as a hot appetizer. Yum!

INGREDIENTS:
Quinoa:
3/4 C quinoa, rubbed/rinsed, drained
Zest from one lime, divided in half and slice lime for garnish (use 1/2 the zest)
2 bruised cardamon pods (optional–I used a dash or two of dried cardamon)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tiny cinnamon stick (optional)
1-1/3 C water
Sweet Chili Lime Sauce:
3 Tbs sugar
3 Tbs tamari
1-3/4 Tbs lime juice
1/2 zest of the lime
1/2 tsp red chili flakes (I didn’t have this, so I used 1/2 tsp of Ancho chili pepper)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
4 mint leaves, sliced thinly
The Greens:
1 bunch collard greens, washed with middle veins removed (I used kale)
2-3 Tbs water
1 tsp lime juice
1 pinch salt
The rest:
14-oz extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
Lime slices for a garnish (optional)
Mint leaves for a garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
Combine the quinoa, 1/2 the lime zest, cardamon, cinnamon stick, salt, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, then remove from heat and don’t remove the lid. Let steam for 10 minutes.

Sweet chili lime sauce: Whisk together the sugar, tamari, lime juice, lime zest, red chili flakes, garlic,  salt, and mint until the sugar and salt and dissolved. Set aside.

Sweet Chili Lime Tofu -- Epicurean VeganTofu: Slice the tofu into 7-8 rectangles:

Sweet Chili Lime Tofu -- Epicurean VeganThen cut each rectangle in half to make two squares, and then each square into four triangles:

Sweet Chili Lime Tofu -- Epicurean VeganI sauteed the tofu in a dry skillet for about 10 minutes on each side. The recipe says to add it a “well-seasoned” skillet.  Add the chili lime sauce and stir to coat the tofu. Turn off the heat.  The sauce will bubble up, reduce, and form a glaze.

Sweet Chili Lime Tofu -- Epicurean VeganWhile this is happening, slice up the kale. In a wok (which I didn’t have, so I used a small skillet) add water, lime juice, and salt. Cover with a lid and steam  until tender. (The other thing to do, is just add the greens to the quinoa and steam them that way).

Sweet Chili Lime Tofu -- Epicurean VeganTo serve, layer plate with  a scoop of quinoa, kale, then tofu. Garnish with lime slices and mint. Enjoy!

Chili-Lime Corn on the Cob

June 9, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Chili-Lime Corn on the Cob -- Epicurean VeganI love this recipe for corn on the cob—the perfect combo of chili powder and lime zest. The original recipe, from Guy Fieri, calls for leaving the husks on, but I usually just use foil–a lot easier, but I’ll give directions for leaving the husks on, too. Corn on the cob also has it’s health benefits: Corn is full of resistant starch (like fiber) and phenolic compounds, both of which help prevent colon cancer.

INGREDIENTS:
4 Tbs butter, at room temp (I microwaved for 30 secs and let it cool)
1 tsp lime zest
1 tsp  chili powder
1/2 tsp  salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp granulated garlic (I used garlic powder)
6 ears of corn

DIRECTIONS:
Soak ears of corn in water for 30-60 mins. Combine all ingredients (except corn) into a resealable zip bag. Drain and pat each cob with a paper towel. Place each ear of corn into the the bag, one at a time, and cover each cob thoroughly with marinade. Wrap with foil.

Chili-Lime Corn on the Cob -- Epicurean VeganPlace on a grill for indirect medium heat (350-450 degrees) for about 15-20 minutes. If leaving the husks on, peel back to soak and cover with marinade and then cover again with husks and grill.

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.
