Chickpea and date tagine. Posted on January 25, 2012 by Jessica in International, main dishes, Recipes.
I love Morrocan, Middle Eastern, and Indian food. This recipe falls in the North African category of Morrocan, and the spices are warming, and give an added sense to the words comfort food, that helps to warm the soul. This is one of those dishes, with no heat, unlike some spicier dishes. The recipe comes from Vegetarian Times, but at this time, their site is down. Detox Carrot Slaw. Carrol Tahini Slaw There are two ways I love to “detox” from the holidays as the New Year rolls around.
The first is by fully hydrating my body and drinking plenty of nutrient-dense beverages like fresh juice and coconut water. The second is by filling my plate with plenty of robust salads and slaws – like this Easy Tahini Detox Carrot Slaw. Crunchy, spiced slaws are delicious detox food. They fill you up (rich in fiber) and keep you chewing for a while since they have so much crunchy texture. Easy Tahini Detox Carrot Slawvegan, makes 5 cups 10 ounces julienne cut/matchstick carrots 1 cup organic Raisins 1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds 1/3 cup tahini 1-2 Tbsp Muchi Curry powder (use more for more spice) 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 Tbsp maple syrup 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4.

These garlic fries, win hands down as the best garlic french fries I’ve ever made. Plus they are baked – so I won’t feel too guilty if I make it every time I’m craving for some potato comfort. When I read that there is garlic infused oil involved, my heart skipped a beat (in a good way, not the way oil would otherwise treat your heart). I got down to making them immediately. How to Make Vegan Bechamel Sauce: 7 steps. Maple ♥ Spice: Pan Fried Chive Gnocchi with Sun-Dried Tomato Coulis. Oh my this was good, and it would make a great Valentine's meal, especially with some homemade Garlic Bread ;-) Or any day of the week as it's been kid approved too - my son loved this and he's never liked store bought gnocchi, so yay for homemade!
I do love gnocchi and you can buy vegan ready made gnocchi in the shops, at least I was able to in London when we lived there and here in Ireland Super-Value's own label gnocchi does just happen to be vegan. But I've always wanted to make my own and was inspired here from watching Catherine Fulvio make this Spinach Gnocchi on her fab cooking show awhile back. Not only did she make it look so easy but I loved the idea of adding chopped spinach to the dough and I really loved the way she just cut them into rustic diagonal shapes as opposed to the traditional forked orbs you usually see. Meatless Monday: Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff. I adapted this recipe from a dish I had at Luna 61, a wonderful vegetarian restaurant in Tivoli, NY.
It is a stroganoff that uses mushrooms instead of meat. I took it to the next level by making it vegan and gluten free, while maintaining the awesome taste. The sherry and nutmeg are two key ingredients that give this dish its signature flavor. Sauced: Homemade Ketchup. Sweet potato ravioli with kale pesto + celebrating. So how did you fare over the holidays?
Oh me? Pretty great. There was plenty of food, amazing people, kisses, hugs, cookies and unexpected (but still wonderful) gifts around every corner. Celebrating anything with those you love is definitely the best thing. Like ever. More importantly, I want to put in the effort to make more meals like this.
