Okra Fritters with Grilled Corn and Goat Cheese Recipe. I grew up in the south where it was very much acceptable to have fried okra as a vegetable 4 times a week during the summer. My parents and both sets of grandparents grew okra in their gardens. I wasn’t a fan. And I couldn’t get away from it. Like most things that weren’t macaroni & cheese, I had to slowly come around to appreciate okra.
But only fried. And even then, only dipped in ranch dressing. It still counted. With containers of okra sitting in the produce section for $2 ($2!)

Veggie Pancakes Recipe from Betty Crocker. Baked Zucchini Fritters | Wishful Chef. Last week we visited family, and always right before we head out the door my mom makes sure I bring something home…food-related of course! My family lives in Pennsylvania Dutch country, so they frequent their local Amish market and my mom always buys way more than she needs (hmm, wonder where I got that from!).
This time she made me bring home some zucchini which I decided to use for baked zucchini fritters. I love fried zucchini fritters, but wanted to make a healthier baked version. This recipe is very easy to follow and uses whole wheat flour in the batter, but regular flour is just fine. Make sure after you grate the zucchini and onion, to squeeze out the excess liquid. It will help keep the fritters nice and crisp. Serve these with homemade garlic mayonnaise or your preferred dipping sauce. Grate the zucchini and onion, then squeeze out the liquid with a paper towel. Place in a bowl, then mix together with flour, salt, pepper, egg and milk.
Baked Zucchini Fritters Recipe. The whinery 2.0 » Blog Archive roasted cauliflower with israeli couscous. Do I miss eating meat? Almost a decade later, I still get asked that question, usually by well-meaning meat lovers who can’t imagine anyone giving up meat by their own free will. These days I just shrug; I’ve stopped telling them that I never really liked meat to begin with – just like some don’t like Brussels sprouts or (gasp!)
Chocolate. Or that by some twist of fate I spent my first years meat-free, save for the occasional chicken at Christmas and on special occasions when we’d visit my grandma. I don’t tell them that my dad was a vegetarian when he met my mom, and that meat didn’t really factor into my diet until I was way into my teens, and I never really got the texture. The other day, a bunch of us shoppers were standing around the admiring the orange, purple and green cauliflower display at the grocery store when the girl in the Peter Tosh t-shirt says to the guy she’s with, “Cauliflower is my steak”. It’s delicious, hearty and filling – maybe cauliflower is my steak after all!

Happy Mother’s Day! As the food blogosphere is filled with Mother’s day meal ideas, I’d pay a tribute to my brilliant paternal grandmother could always turn the common ingredients into a great meal. I was very fortunately to spend quite some time living with my grandparents when I was little. I was even more fortunate to have grandparents who were both great cooks.
Unlike my grandfather who is a master with live poultry, fancy meat dishes, and delicate desserts such as this one here, grandma on the other hand was more of cook who specialized in simple and quick meals. Many of her signature dishes were either quick stir-fried dishes or cold dishes. In honor of her great cooking and the countless meals I enjoyed when I was little, today, I am going to recreate her classic spicy Chinese long bean dish. As the name suggested, Chinese long beans are long. This dish is traditionally served as an appetizer and it goes well with beer in the summer time. Ingredients 1lb Chinese long beans Instructions. Fresh Corn Saute with Coconut Milk & Sriracha Recipe. Brussels sprouts stir fry. Most people I know are aware of the benefits of eating healthy. That means avoiding too much salt and fried food or desserts that have too much fat and sugar. There are always some articles or television programs giving out a list of "super foods".
Every once in a while there is a documentary or movie about the obesity epidemic or the food served to kids in schools, exposing the unseen side of corporate farming (Food Inc.), making healthy choices (Hungry for change), or the new HBO documentary "The weight of the nation". And there are some food items that always come up in the list of good food. For example, blueberries, kale, spinach, oranges, beans, walnuts, salmon etc. It is not always easy (for me) to avoid everything unhealthy, but with an excess of processed food and unhealthy options available, I like to make conscious choices now when it comes to food. And one of the things I like to do is include as many 'good foods" that I can in my diet. Ingredients 1 cup brussels sprouts. Roasted Cauliflower Recipe ~ Tahini Dressing.

Cauliflower and Good Intentions: Bear with me while I philosiphize for a sec… I’ve been thinking lately about the concept of perception. Perception is reality. Under most circumstances, it doesn’t matter what my perception is. The “good intentions” of others can be dangerous. It’s a delicate balance to stay open-minded and learn from others, yet not allow people influence important life decisions.
Ya know, cauliflower could be your missed opportunity. Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that usually gets a bad rap. Your perception of cauliflower may need a little “tweaking” and I would like to offer you the golden key to the door of cauliflower deliciousness. Modern serving pieces from Villeroy & Boch.

We went a little crazy ordering all the things we thought sounded good (it’s a small plates restaurant, so we felt totally justified in ordering a ton).
Some things sounded unusual enough to try (butternut squash hummus), and some things I had had before and knew were great (roasted and stuffed eggplants). And then there was this dish that was almost an afterthought. It ended up being the best thing we ate there.

Savory Carrot Cake.
Savory Carrot Cake When I went vegetable shopping the other day I saw a bunch of beautiful fresh carrots. Red, long and sweet, these are what we call Delhi/Ooty carrots here. They look and taste different from our usual small orange ones. They are available only during the winter months and they taste wonderful.

Taro Gnocchi with Gruyere Cream Recipe. I love gnocchi. Not quite a dumpling, not quite a pasta it defies categorization and is made in about as many ways as there are people who cook it. Unfortunately, it’s one of those Italian dishes (like Tiramisu) that skyrocketed to fame in posh American restaurants during the 1990′s and has been so overdone (and overdone poorly at that), that it’s become a bit of a cliché.
Often gluey, starchy, or just plain chewy, I started to forget all the reasons why I fell in love with the little potato dumplings all those years ago. As a result I can’t remember the last time I ordered it. That is, until I recently had it at an Italian restaurant in Singapore. I’d just finished a 7 course seafood meal at a Chinese restaurant and was onto my second dinner, which included a salumi platter and a whole pizza.
Each ropy morsel, about the width and length of a piece of macaroni was tender, and yet had more bite than a chunk of mashed potato. As it turns out, taro makes excellent gnocchi! Maple Roasted Asparagus with Pecans | the simple lens. Once upon a time, there was a girl who despised asparagus. Granted, she had never actually had asparagus. But she could tell just by looking at it that this was a vegetable to be avoided at all costs. Fortunately, this silly girl realized one day that she was indeed being silly. After all, it wasn’t really fair to judge the asparagus by it’s weird appearance. So she gave it a try…. and BAM! I know I just threw a pecan-based recipe at you and here I am proffering up another.

Celeriac (celery root) doesn’t get the credit it deserves – maybe because it’s an ugly looking fella. However, through much courting, it has worked its way up to becoming one of my favorite and most versatile ingredients. By itself, it’s subtle, but its distinct flavor (tastes like a combination of celery and parsley) is something you can never tire of regardless of how it’s cooked.
Like when enjoying most vegetables, I usually have celeriac when lightly sautéed with butter and seasoned with salt and pepper. Today, I decided to make a mashed version of it with the addition of some thyme, mustard, and garlic. Like mashed potatoes, only sans the cream and butter and excess carbs. And while celeriac my not look like it glows on the outside, its true beauty is skin deep. by Aylin @ Glow Kitchen Cook Time: 10 minutes Keywords: boil vegan vegetarian fat-free celeriac thyme 2 celery roots (celeriac)1 tbsp fresh thyme, stemmed1 tsp mustard2 garlic cloves, finely chopped1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp pepper.
Garlic Masala Baked Potato Wedges. Broccoli & Ginger Soy Sauce – Glow Kitchen. By Aylin on April 7, 2012 at 3:58 am I accompany most meals with some sort of cooked vegetable, and the challenge has always been to accent its flavor with a complementary sauce. This ginger soy sauce recipe is one that I resort to most often for an extra kick to my side dish. The greatest thing about pairing broccoli with this sauce, or any sauce for that matter, is that the florets absorb the liquid and make for a tastier and more satisfying bite!
