Jalapeños Stuffed with Cashews & Coconut Recipe. Spiced Roasted Chickpeas Recipe. As much as I enjoy them, I could probably count the number of hors d’oeuvres I’ve made on one hand. But we were invited to a party featuring finger foods this weekend (we’ve all got toddlers so this was a very practical move, as well as a yummy one) and it seemed like a good time to try making the roasted chickpeas I’ve been seeing recipes for all year (on The Kitchn, Kalyn’s Kitchen, Mark Bittman’s blog, and more.)
This simple hors d’oeuvre has so much going for it. Namely, it is easy, cheap, simple, healthy, exotic, and delicious. It’s also fun to say “GARBANZO BEAN!” Loudly. These are addictive so it pays to make a big batch – one can won’t get you very far. I made three different spice mixes — garam masala, curry powder, and ras el hanout, a Moroccan spice blend that typically includes cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ground chili peppers, coriander, cumin, nutmeg, peppercorns, and turmeric. One of the recipes I read said that it’s important to slip off any loose skins.
Happy Holidays. Olives for Dinner: Deep-Fried Vegan Mac and Cheese. These are the best things I've ever made or eaten. After spotting fried mac and cheese bites in the frozen section of Trader Joe's last week, I've had this internal battle about veganizing it myself at home. I've made vegan mac and cheese before and I certainly know how to deep fry, but does that mean I should combine those two things together in one dish?
Probably not, but I did anyway. After eating a few of these, I slipped into a wonderful fried food coma. This mac and cheese has the perfect amount of richness with just a hint of acidity from the coconut vinegar, which gives it an overall authentic cheesy (with no trace of coconut) flavor. The texture is gooey and silky, and it's all perfectly encased in a crispy panko shell. With a tiny tap, they kind of break open and ooze immediately. If you don't want to fry, you can also bake this. METHOD Prepare the pasta according to the package instructions. Spray a large pyrex glass dish with a little cooking spray. Olives for Dinner: Homemade Thai Sweet Chili Sauce with Fried Tofu.
Fried food + spicy sauce = magic. Although I love all vegan foods fried, my favorite thing to fry is plain tofu coated in cornstarch that's been dredged first in an Ener-G and water slurry. Once placed into oil to fry, the edges become perfectly crisp and sharp, as if they've been starched and ironed (and I guess they have been, in a way). It looks beautiful and tastes amazing. Last year and again this year, a friend of mine gave me several pounds of fresh hot habanero peppers from her father's garden (yes, pounds). I used them to make a batch of homemade sriracha like I did last year, and it's currently been marinating on my counter for the past week. METHODPlace the first four sauce ingredients into a small saucepan.
Cut the tofu block in half and then those halves into halves.

This was an experimental recipe that has become in instant classic to me. Try this one. No seriously, stop talking about it and just do it already! When I originally set out to make this recipe I wanted to do a mango-habanero dipping sauce but two things happened: the mango-habanero sauce was an epic fail (flavor wise) and the fried guacamole tasted so good it would have been criminal to dip them into any sauce. Fried Guacamole A few hours before you are going to make these (or the day before), make the guacamole using the avocados, salsa and then salt and pepper to taste. Heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees. In a small dish combine the 1 cup cold water, 1 tbsp flour, 1 tsp hot sauce, and ground flax mix.
