Miso Eggplant


Our local market is loaded with eggplant right now.  Three main varieties; Asian, Italian and Globe.

Do yourself a flavor, do not fry the eggplant, roast it.  Eggplant acts as a serious sponge, sucking up tons of oil.

MISO EGGPLANT

6 tablespoons white miso paste
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons water
3 3/4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
3 to 4 medium sized eggplants

1. Dice eggplant into one inch pieces.  With or without skin.  Up to you.
2. Roast @ 375° F until just tender.
3. Make sauce.  Pour sauce into large pan.  Add eggplant.
4. Heat eggplant with sauce for about 10 minutes.
4. Serve over rice or as a side.

Gobi Manchurian

  This Gobi Manchurian is the bomb.  Its sweet and spicy.  I really enjoyed this over rice.  You can totally deep fry your cauliflower but I preferred it baked without the oil. You really wont miss the oil once it is bathed in this crazy good sauce. Gobi Manchurian I added a lot more veggies because I wanted it loaded with veggies but you can go sparse if you likke, just halve what I have here. 1 head cauliflower, roughly 4-6 cups small pieces (bite size) 1 cup flour  1/2 cup tapioca or corn flour (corn starch) 1 cup water 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 green bell peppers, diced 2 cups onion, I used sweet onion in mine but any onion will do 4-6 cloves garlic, depends on how much you like garlic 1 inch piece of ginger, minced or grated 1 chili, I used Hatch Chilies because I had them frozen in my freezer 2 tablespoons corn flour or tapioca flour 2 cups water, I like a lot of sauce to pour over my rice, you can halve it if you like 4 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons so...

Quinoa Taco Meat

This quinoa mix is da bomb!  Sincerely. It is a great impostor for meat.  It wears its coat of flavorings like meat, it nearly has the texture of meat, it has the color of meat.  Will it taste like beef, no.  But it will satisfy you.  This is a definite make again at our house.  In fact, I have already made it twice. It cooks up fast and easy. Quinoa Taco's 1 cup tri-color, white, or red quinoa 1 3/4 cup vegetable broth 1/2 cup salsa 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast 2 teaspoon ground cumin 2 teaspoon ground chili powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon each sea salt and black pepper 1 tablespoon avocado oil Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Then reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15-25 minutes, or until liquid is completely absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Preheat o...

Smoky Mushroom Lentil Burgers

I had only one shot left to show you the beauty of these burgers.  It's all I got before my battery died. However, I think it was enough to show you.  I will definitely be making these again.  Lest I forget exactly what I did, I had to record it. What is the sauce?  It is a combination of mayo and my homemade hot sauce. I couldn't really tell you what is in my hot sauce. It is usually the end result of an event that goes something like this.  In September I am usually inundated with tomatoes.  I have canned nearly all there is to can of tomatoes, I have made my salsa, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce and any other tomato thing I feel like canning any particular year. I always have tons of tomatoes because my husband eats them nearly for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I am really not kidding about that.  Anyway, say some get overly ripe tomatoes are laying on the counter and I have a few jalapenos laying around or some other hot pepper, I usually...
