Asparagus and Sun dried Tomato Frittata
So this is more of a breakfast/brunch dish. Also, if you own Vegan with a Vengeance, then you will recognize it. I tweeked it a tad. This is mostly for those of you who don't have the book, because this recipe is AMAZING. It is easy too. Most things you have already, asparagus you can buy individually so its cheap and the jar of sun dried tomatoes is totally worth it.
1 block tofu
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp any kind of mustard
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
some olive oil for pan
1 tsp onion powder
about 10 sticks of asparagus (rough ends discarded and cut into bite size pieces)
1/4 cup finely chopped sundried tomatoes (the kind from the jar with the oil)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried turmeric
some lemon juice (1/2 a lemon or about 1/4 of one of those little lemon juices shaped like lemons)
1/4 cup fresh torn up basil leaves or a Tbsp or so of dried basil
Preheat oven to 400
In a big bowl, crumble tofu with soy sauce, mustard, and nutritional yeast until it looks like ricotta cheese.
In an 8 inch frying pan saute asparagus and sun dried tomatoes with olive oil for about 3 minutes
Add the garlic, thyme, turmeric, and onion powder and saute another minute.
Add lemon juice and turn off heat. Transfer asparagus mixture into the tofu and add basil. Mix well.
Put it all back into the pan and press it firmly down in place.
Cook at 400 for 20 minutes and then turn your oven to broil and cook at same temp until it is slightly brown on top (about 2 minutes only)
Done!
Super Easy Mac & Cheesy
Here's a light mac & cheese recipe I improvised on the spot with my roommate. The ingredient measurements are approximations. You should adapt it to your tastes.
Ingredients
8 oz enriched macaroni
2-3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
splash of canola or olive oil
1/3 cup soy milk
1 tablespoon soy or Tamari sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
a few squeezes of juice out of a lime
salt and/or pepper to taste
Directions
Cook macaroni according to package instructions. Serve in a bowl and stir in all the ingredients. Done. Super easy.
Broccoli-Onion Quiche
This is a pre-veg favorite of mine that I've been perfecting in vegan form for a while now; it's finally where I want it to be! A classic European dish that can be eaten at practically any time of day.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon tumeric
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup raw, unsalted cashews
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 package soft tofu
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 nutritional yeast
1 9-inch prepared pie crust
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a large pan over medium-hight heat until softened (about 3 minutes). Add the broccoli, spices, salt and pepper, then cook until the broccoli is tender.
Set the veggies aside and start tossing the other ingredients in a blender or food processor. Squeeze excess water out of the tofu, then crumble it in. Add the cashews, almonds, mustard and nooch, and process until it's got the desired texture (I like a little crunch, but it can be very smooth).
In a mixing bowl, blend the broccoli and creamy components together. Finally, scoop it all into the crust, smooth and pop it in the oven for 40 minutes.
