Portobellos with Tomatoes and Truffle Cheeze Sauce

January 11, 2011 by epicureanvegan

Portobellos with Tomatoes and Truffle Cheeze Sauce -- Epicurean VeganWe got some beautiful portobellos and tomatoes from Green Buffalo Food Co. and this came together so fast. The truffle cheeze sauce is amazing! I could have eaten it with a spoon—it is rich, creamy and perfect for veggies, pasta, or by the spoonful!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 Tbs olive oil
2 Portobello mushrooms, stem and gills removed
2-4 large basil leaves (I used spinach, but I think I’d prefer basil for more flavor)
4 tomato slices
Sauce:
1/3 C almond milk
1/2 C Daiya mozzarella
1/8 tsp (or less) white truffle oil

DIRECTIONS:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Place portobellos, face down, in the pan and lightly saute for about 2 minutes. Turn over and saute the other side. Add the basil leaves and 2 tomato slices per mushroom. Reduce heat to low and cover.

Portobellos with Tomatoes and Truffle Cheeze Sauce -- Epicurean VeganTo prepare the sauce, bring the almond milk just to a boil, reduce heat to medium and whisk in the cheeze and truffle oil. Whisk until smooth—it’ll only take a couple of minutes.

August 20, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Steamed Broccoli with Craisins and Pine Nuts -- Epicurean VeganThe flavors in this side dish mingled beautifully together and was a nice change from just plain old steamed broccoli! If you’re not a big broccoli fan, try this with other veggies like chard, spinach or asparagus.

INGREDIENTS:
2 heads of broccoli, trimmed
Handful of craisins
Handful of pine nuts
1 Tbs Earth Balance margarine
Truffle oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Steam the broccoli for about 10-12 minutes. Add the craisins and pine nuts and mix them well with the broccoli; steam another 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the margarine. Drizzle with truffle oil and stir to combine. Add a little salt and pepper, if desired and enjoy!

August 6, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Quinoa with Shallots and Pine Nuts -- Epicurean VeganThis is one of those easy side dishes that is not only versatile, but hard to screw up. Quinoa is such a great source of protein and inexpensive. I decided to just throw together different ingredients and came up with this uncomplicated accompaniment to any main dish.

INGREDIENTS:
1 C quinoa
2 C vegetable broth
2 shallots, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 C fresh chopped parsley
1 tsp truffle oil
1 Tbs olive oil
1/2 C pine nuts

DIRECTIONS:
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil, then add the shallots. Saute them a about 5 minutes until they soften. Add the quinoa and toast it for a couple of minutes until they begin to pop and brown. Add broth and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, in a small saute pan, heat the truffle oil. Add the pine nuts and toast them until they begin to brown. Stir in the parsley and pine nuts into the quinoa and serve. Enjoy!

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.
