Vegetarian Spicy Black Bean Burger recipe. Hello! Something you all probably don’t know about me is that long ago I was a vegetarian….FOR 3 YEARS! Crazy, right?! It was when I was in high school, after watching a rather inhuman and disturbing video in class. I swore off meat until one day, three years later, I walked into Panera Bread, bought and ate an asiago, roast beef sandwich and that was that :) Still to this very day I love my fair share of meatless dishes. Veggie burgers are always great and I’ve tried them so many ways, with lentils, mushrooms, tofu, tempeh, etc.
Spicy Black Bean Burgers Serves 4 Directions: 1. Blast from the past…with a new twist « You remember this dish… from every church pot luck, community cookbook, and Gramma’s table. Yes, THAT broccoli-rice casserole. Bubbly, cheesy, rich, and so very good. Old-fashioned comfort food, personified. Since I love using quinoa in everything calling for rice (less starchy, more protein) I thought I’d give it a try in this one. And it worked just as well. As you can see in the second photo, it’s the same creamy-dreamy texture and flavor we loved before – only this time it’s not full of rice-carbs that can wreck havoc with blood surgar.
AND the quinoa gives added protein. I can’t believe how great this turned out! One 10 oz can condensed Cream of Broccoli soup (or mushroom), low-sodium if you prefer (*see note for gluten free) 1/3 cup reduced fat mayonnaise (original called for 1 full cup. 2 tablespoons milk 1 1/4 cups reduced fat shredded cheese (cheddar, colby-jack, etc) 1/2 teaspoon Splenda/sugar 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Dash freshly grated nutmeg . 2 cups cooked broccoli . .
Craft Ale Risotto. Risotto is the first recipe that I ever mastered. To this day, I count this among my favorite comfort food, downing giant bowls whenever the opportunity arises. The classic recipe is made with white wine, but the substitution of a citrusy, medium-bodied craft beer only adds to the profile of flavors. I used another California beer: Telegraph California Ale, although this recipe would lend itself very well to the Telegraph White Ale. Craft Ale Risotto 4 cups chicken broth 3 Tbsp unsalted butter 1 tbs chopped shallots 3 cloves of garlic, minced 1½ cups arborio rice 1 Tbsp vegetable oil 8 oz Telegraph Ale ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup heavy cream Salt and Pepper Place the chicken broth in a sauce pan and bring to a mild simmer, keeping to warm, but not boiling.In a separate pot, add the butter and allow to melt over medium heat.
Grilled Vegetable and Hummus Tart. An all Mediterranean tart – an image of hummus, vegetables grilled with garlic oil & herbs on a olive oil flaky crust has been brewing in my head for a quite some time now. This is what spring time is about! Light flavorful and colorful meals and a lot of time outdoors with children and the trees. The spring tidings also chirped in lovely Jeanne’s Topless Tart Alert for Meeta’s Monthly Mingle . How could one miss such a sexy party hosted by a gorgeous woman? It was a perfect time for me make and take my tart over.
The mission here was also driven by my desire to make a perfectly flaky butter free crust. Finally I got to play with my tart today. The hummus was made with some sun dried tomatoes. My family prefers a lighter crust to the heavy flavor of butter, especially now that the air outside has been warming up. I did not have a recipe and did not know if it was possible to have a good crust without butter. My onion crackers used baking soda. All ready to join the party!

Vegan recipes - veggie burger sliders | Vegan Happy Hour. Last week the wife-unit and I stopped into our friendly neighborhood Islands Restaurant to get some quick drinks and a snack prior to seeing Hot Tub Time Machine. We really weren’t sure going into the movie how good it was going to be so it made sense to have a drink or two just in case. Just so you know, its about a 2 or 3 drink movie for it to really be funny I think. For a snack we were limited to chips and salsa/guacamole and french fries so we went with the fries. There was another guy at the bar chowing down on some little sliders that looked amazing. I called him a ‘jerk’ in my head while I sipped on a mai tai and wished I had some vegan sliders to munch on. I’ve made vegan burgers before and they were great, but I hadn’t thought to make them smaller.
