Lentil walnut burgers.

 Lentil walnut burgers made out of leftover Moroccan stew. They were a little mushy bc I didn’t add enough flour and bread crumbs but I wasn’t mad about it. It was delicious.

Moroccan spiced lentils

 From a beautiful book called The Food of Morocco. I served it with couscous.

Zaalouk.

 

Moroccan zaalouk. Eggplant and tomato dip. So good. 

African Peanut Stew

 African peanut stew from 1,000 Vegan Recipes with rice and toasted sourdough. So delicious! I topped with a little Dark n Smoky chili flakes.

I used chickpeas instead of kidney beans, and added a ton of veggies: sweet potatoes, Mexican squash, red bell peppers, carrots, rutabaga, and kale.

Udon noodles with homemade chili oil.

 Delicious udon noodles with tofu, vegetables and homemade chili oil.

Vegetable Vindaloo

 From Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen. So good!

Airfryer crispy tacos

 Delicious. I stuffed them with Beyond meat and refried black beans and vegan cheddar. Brushed with olive oil, and then air fried for 10 minutes, flipping halfway. I also made homemade salsa using for different chili peppers. 

Ful Medames

 One of my favorite things to eat. I love the Tazah brand fava beans. I sauté some onions, jalapeño, add cumin, salt, pepper and the beans and mash until semi smooth. Drizzle with Palestinian olive oil, lime, chopped onions and cilantro. So good with hot pita!

Zaalouk

 A delicious zaalouk recipe (eggplant dip) by Lahbco. Perfect with sourdough toast.

Gochujang chili!

A friend of mine recommended to add gochujang paste to chili and I tried that yesterday. It was SO good! It really brings out the umami and adds a tiny bit of sweetness. I added 1 Tablespoon to this whole pot. 

I used Impossible meat, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Plus ancho, cayenne, New Mexico chili powder and Flatiron Pepper Hatch Valley Green pepper flakes. 

 

Homemade falafel.

 So delicious! Took me all morning but was worth it. 

Silk Road Cooking: Indian curry

 I cooked from one the most beautiful books in my collection called Silk Road Cooking: A Vegetarian Journey. I made the Indian Cauliflower and Potato Curry but substituted broccoli and kale for the cauliflower since I didn’t have any. It was very easy to make and turned out delicious! The Thai chili in it was 👌🏽. I used a Thai chili from my garden. 

Musalwa’a.

 I made this delicious Palestinian lentils and rice dish called Musalwa’a. I used a recipe by @lahbco that he posted earlier today. So good. Very comforting and amazing topped with caramelized sumac onions and Aleppo pepper. Both spices I got from @zandzdc . 💯 #musalwaa #palestinian #lentilsandrice #comfortfood #zandzdc #aleppopepper #sumac #foodasresistance #vegan

Snacks

 Dips for snacks. Zucchini tahini dip (basically Moutabal recipe substituting zucchini for the eggplant 👌🏽), Shakshuka no egg, and smashed kidney beans topped with olive oil, lime and homemade shatta (hot chili sauce). #dips #bread #vegan #shakshuka #beans #zucchini #shatta
