I like to make snacks that I can eat all throughout the weekend. I made the caponata yesterday after coming home from work because I wanted all the flavors to meld overnight. I used a recipe from The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen cookbook. The recipe asks you to roast the eggplant which I was too lazy to do, so I just threw everything in a pot and cooked it slowly. Came out yummy. I plan to use the leftovers (there are lots) to serve over pasta. The cashew cheeze is just raw cashews soaked overnight that I blended with garlic, tahini, oil and salt in my new Blendtec.
Banana bread with chocolate chips and dried cherries. This is to have with hot cups of tea.
Everything is better with chocolate!
Tasty snacks! I love caponata. I have a lovely Italian neighbour who makes a fantastic version.
ReplyDeleteYay, another of your awesome posts! As usual, all of your food looks fantastic! I just got everything for the Sephardic Red Lentil Soup that you've posted often, and I can't wait to try it.
