Tea and Soup for sickness.

 Dealing with a cough and respiratory stuff. Made a great tea combo of greek mountain tea plus lemon ginger herbal tea.

Lunch: Ezogelin Corbasi, a Turkish red lentil, bulgur and rice soup. It’s so good! Recipe from @mamaghanouj_kitchen.

 

Vegan tagine

 Vegan Moroccan tagine served on couscous. One of my favorite meals on rotation when I need to use up a whole bunch of veggies. This one has: carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, jalapeño peppers, red bell peppers, cabbage, chickpeas and mushrooms.

Chilaquiles

 I made chilaquiles today from The Whole Chile Pepper Book and they turned out great. I had them for lunch with a side of beans. #chilaquiles #thewholechilepepperbook

New Mexican Green Chile Stew

 A vegan New Mexican green chile stew that I adapted from The Southwest Table. I used 1/2 lb. ground @beyondmeat, 1 or so cup of cooked white beans, mushrooms, cumin, Mexican oregano, a 7 oz can of green Chiles and about a TB of Hatch Green Chile powder (100% Chiles, no filler!). It’s delicious with a squeeze of lime and hot tortillas on the side. I’m definitely adding this to my menu rotation. #greenchilestew #newmexico #southwest #thesouthwesttable #vegan

Kabocha sandwich

 My sandwich looks kinda crazy but it was delicious! I cooked slices of kabocha squash with olive oil, curry powder, salt, pepper and panko crumbs in the Airfryer for 20 minutes. Then I served it in a toasted bun with creamy curry coleslaw (vegan mayo, curry powder, agave, lemon, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper) and sweet pickled jalapeños. #kabochasandwich #kabochasquash #vegan

Lahmajun

 Vegan lahmajun. My first time trying it out. I should have rolled the dough thinner. But it was delicious! It has beyond meat, cooked eggplant dip, tomatoes, onions, parsley, red pepper paste, tomato paste, pomegranate molasses and spices. I loosely followed a recipe from Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean by Paula Wolfert. The dough recipe is a yeast free pizza dough by @thehappypear. #lahmajun #lahmacun #turkishpizza #easternmediterranean #vegan #pizzadough

Eggplant Dip and Pasta

 Made Zoya Biglary’s eggplant dip today which was delicious. For dinner I made a quick pasta sauce made with olive oil, crushed garlic, chili flakes, a chopped Roma tomato, a couple scoops of the eggplant dip, a tiny bit of pasta water and parsley. Tossed with hot @pastagarofalo spaghetti I got at Costco. It’s really good pasta. Bonus: homemade limeade!

Beyond meat chili w/ gochujang

 Gochujang chili with @beyondmeat . I soaked New Mexico chiles and blended them with the gochujang and soaking water and added it to the simmering chili. So good! #chili #vegan #gochujang #newmexicochile #beyondmeat #morobeans

Sopa Campesina/Moro beans and Bloody Maria

 Sopa Campesina from @rancho_gordo Bean Book. It is basically the beans in this case Moro beans from Puebla, Mexico with their broth topped with chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, salsa, and fried tortilla strips. Delicious!!!! 

Making Bloody Maria’s!

Moro beans from Rancho Gordo. I love them.
