Red Sweet Potato Curry with Cauliflower and Aduki Beans

Dinner 04/04

Red Sweet Potato Curry with Cauliflower and Aduki Beans



A new test recipe from Isa that uses baked sweet potatoes as the base for a curry that will have you going back for seconds -- or thirds, and then served over noodles the next day for lunch...

Don't judge.

Korean BBQ Portobello Burgers with Kimchi, Sweet Potato Fries

Dinner 03/25

Korean BBQ Portobello Burgers with Kimchi

Sweet Potato Fries



With all of the nice weather we've been having, we've been giving the grill a workout. Tonight's meal was another Isa test recipe -- the portobello mushrooms were smoked for 20 minutes, then marinated for 30 minutes, and finally grilled -- the burgers were then topped with kimchi and vegenaise. Served on top of with Liz's Einkorn flour buns.

We paired the burgers with sweet potato oven fries, tossed with olive oil, sprinkled with smoked paprika, black pepper and smoked sea salt and roasted at 425°F for 25 minutes.

Lentil Quinoa Stew with Kale

Lunch 03/15

Lentil Quinoa Stew with Kale



Any dish with brown lentils, red quinoa and loads of kale is going to do well in our house. Throw in some hot sauce at the end and you have an instant classic...

Harira with Eggplant and Lentils, Shish Kabob

Dinner 03/12

Harira with Eggplant and Lentils

Shish Kabob



The Harira with Eggplant and Lentils is an inspired riff on a Moroccan soup/stew that gets better the longer it sits and would works ideally as a dinner plus lunch the next day. Slow cooked, the spices meld with the eggplant & lentils for a delicious and hearty meal.

The kabobs were comprised of hickory-smoked tofu, mushroom, red bell pepper and tomatoes marinated in olive oil, tamari, ketchup and agave and grilled while the Harira was doing its thing on the stove.

Tabbouleh

Lunch 03/08

Tabbouleh



As a long-term vegan, tabbouleh (along with hummus) is one of those things you quickly learn is (usually) safe to eat out in public or at parties. Having said that, it's been more than a few years since we've made tabbouleh on our own.

But this test recipe for Isa is like welcoming back an old friend. Chickpeas, tomatoes & cucumber all join the party with the couscous for a quick and easy lunch that comes together in under a half-hour.

Mushroom Tofu Stroganoff

The stroganoff was delightfully creamy (thanks to the cashew base) with the mushrooms and tofu holding up their part of the bargain.

Cashew sales will skyrocket after this cookbook comes out. ;)
