BBQ Portobello Burger

Posted on August 31, 2019September 1, 2019 by jeffreylatty

In the Arizona Desert, activity is common in the mornings and evenings to utilize daylight and (somewhat) comfortable conditions. Walking with a beer, I find a prickly tree to set my beer on to check in online.

The food ideas flood my mind like a flash-flood.

BBQ Sauce, Craft Mustard, Chipotle and Veggie broth were mixed to create my mushroom sauce. The Portobello Cap was drenched with sauce in and out, above and below a hot oven.

Garlic, Onion, Crushed Red Peppers and sliced spinach was slightly warmed.

Earth Balance ‘butter’ smothered buns were crisped. CHEERS.

Beyond Taco Pizza Burger

Posted on August 29, 2019 by jeffreylatty

Beyond Meat’s Beyond Beef was used, but thinned out to adding wholesome veggie heartiness and texture.

An instant Rice mixture (Brown, Red, Wild & Quinoa), Pico de Gallo, Tomato Sauce, Roasted Garlic, Roasted Corn, Sweet Potato, Daiya and light seasonings were mixed with the Beyond Beef. Controlling consistency was instant Mashed Potatoes.

An Earth Balance’d Bun was topped, one side – Ⓥ ‘sour cream’ & Cilantro, the other – Refried Beans (Pinto, Chipotle in Adobe, Garlic, Carrot, Crushed Red Pepper, Nutri Yeast and Cilantro).

Spinach, Tomato Sauce, Daiya and the Taco Pizza Burger completed this hefty sandwich. Cheers.

Comfort food is my favorite. Vegan comfort food, to me, is always missing something. I want a fat freaking Vegan sandwich. Let’s make it happen.

Beyond Meat is crazily making Vegan foods imitate real meat. They do a wonderful job, but their style isn’t my style. Less meat-likeness and more non-, meat-ness.

A 1/2 lb Vegan sandwich was created. Cheers.

Daiya Stuffed MacN Daiya Pi

Mac N Daiya was prepared as normal for a second. Imagination was evident and severely utilized. Fire roasted tomatoes, Chives and Cucumber were added to the slightly undercooked Mac. Crushed Red Peppers and Soy ‘chorizo’ was mixed in on a low//medium heat before adding the mouth watering Daiya ‘cheese’. Lightly salted and peppered, excitement was immense.

A single ingredient can light a spark in the mind that infuses multiple sparks to reuse ideas with a new concept and, BOOM, let’s make food today like this………….

Daiya ‘string cheese’ was found! I’ve been in love with Daiya for many of years now, bringing dairy-free deliciousness to my beloved comfort food. And excuse to make a pizza pi….. any excuse…. Vegan Pizza does not count as a relapse, in my book:)

Forever a Pizza Addict, a delicious pizza was made with a Daiya stuffed crust. I added the MacN Daiya with a bit more Daiya, some Smart ‘bacon’ and (:OMG:) Vegan ‘parm’ and Earth Balance ‘butter’ CRUST.

CHEERS.

Corn Tortillas, Soy ‘chorizo’, Corn, Onion, Garlic, Spinach, …..

….Follow Your Heart ‘GOUDA’, Fire Roasted Tomatoes and Cilantro were combined in a Lasagna-style idea in the hot Arizona west valley.

CHEERS.

Happy Tuesday to everyone and Tuesday to the non-jokers.

I put a tortilla through hell, melting heavenly DAIYA all over it. This VEGAN patty bled??? , VEGANLY. Waffle fries were the “W” to WTF. DAIYA is guilty twice. DAIYA HON’Y MUSTARD was utilized. Have FUN out there!

CHEERS.

Seitanish Moshpitatoes

Hoppy IPA Day! And Happy August!

Pickle Juice was utilized in creating a potent base of Veggie madness in this concept. Potatoes, Garlic and Carrot were infused with the Pickle Juice before adding Dill Weed, Sea Salt & Pepper.

Crushed Red Peppers, Cilantro, various (cooked) Beans and Rice were added to the Moshpitato madness. A Veggie Medley (Cauliflower, Broccoli, Carrot & Scallions) was mixed in and let sit before adding Veggie Broth Nutritional Yeast, ‘Parm’ and Instant Mashed Potatoes.
