1. Vegan Moussaka
This dish is a LOT of work and very time consuming. But it's hearty, rib-sticking vegan food (yes, it IS possible for such a thing to exist.) If you like making healthy food, we suggest the cookbook Veganomicon, which is where this recipe is from. The dish contains zucchini, potatoes, and eggplant as the 'meat', Greek tomato sauce as the binding agent, and tofu as the topping.
It looks beautiful for company and tastes delicious every time. If you have omni/herbavore mixed company, this is one everybody will love.
2. Indian Meatloaf
FAIL. Our power was at risk of going out during the hurricane, and we had 1 pound of extra lean turkey breast. We figured meatloaf would be a good bet, but without a lot of stuff in the fridge, we decided to wing it with Indian spices, peas, and hot peppers. It would have been good if it didn't taste like sandpaper. To make it worse, we made it with rice and a hard-boiled egg covered in turmeric (which was really good). If we only made some kind of sauce to go with it, this might not have been so disappointing.
3. Holubtsi
Any self-respecting Slavic person knows how to make some form of holubtsi (or stuffed cabbage). Many times it's filled with meat, but I like mine vegetarian. You start with blanching cabbage leaves, making a filling, stuffing the rolls, and covering it with some kind of sauce. My version this time included a mushroom, Kashi, rice, onion, and hot pepper filling mix (with salt and pepper seasoning). My topping was 2 cans of Campbell's tomato soup (not watered down).
First thing is to carefully blanch the cabbage so that the leaves come off whole.
Then you chop the mushrooms down to a small mince.
My preferred brands of rice and kashi. It might take you some time to get the ratio right, use alot less kashi than rice.
Garden pepper!
So, I used too much kashi, not enough rice. Not a big deal.
CRAZY GOOD DELICIOUS.
Love,
The Two Gavones
