Blush Daiya Toni

Posted on January 13, 2021 by jeffreylatty

The last of my Base Sauce previously used in my Tofu Florentine,

…was utilized wonderfully, in a deliciously Ⓥegan Blush Pasta.

Earth Balance ‘butter’, Flour, Sea Salt, Pepper (the Ⓥegan Roux) was slightly panfried before adding Garlic Powder, Almond Milk, a bit o’ water, a Veggie Bouillon cube (more of a rectangle), Carrot, Celery, Onion and (real) Garlic. After simmering for hours, a huge amount of Parsley was added:)

A pot of diced Tomatoes, Tomato Paste and dry Basil was simmered in a pot separate from the Base Sauce. The Base Sauce was added to the other and cooked down with Hot Sauce, Sugar, sliced Tofurky ‘sausages’ and a Bay Leaf.

Rigatoni Pasta was cooked slightly under al dente and strained, not rinsed, to be added to the Blushness with Daiya and Spinach after the Bay Leaf was found in the pot – not in the mouth:)

CHEERS.

TOFU Florentine

Posted on January 10, 2021 by jeffreylatty

Happy Sunday Funday

A Ⓥegan Roux kicked off a badass base sauce for a few different, yet, similar ideas.

Earth Balance ‘butter’, Flour, Sea Salt, Pepper was slightly panfried before adding Garlic Powder, Almond Milk, a bit o’ water, a Veggie Bouillon cube (more of a rectangle), Carrot, Celery, Onion and (real) Garlic. After simmering for hours, a huge amount of Parsley was added:)

Bow Tie Noodles were cooked not to al dente to be finished in the Florentine Sauce with cubed (not squared) TOFU.

Sun Dried Tomato seasoning and a portion of the base sauce continued being split into another warming pot. The Pasta was added with Spinach and Daiya ‘cheese’.

A Craft Beer or three was enjoyed during this process:)

Ⓥeggie Sandwich

Posted on January 7, 2021 by jeffreylatty

¡Happy Thirsty Thursday!

A surplus of thirstiness is vast this Thursday as my country (USA) is utterly a mess and an embarrassment in the universe. I apologize to all and I don’t want to dwell on politics in any of my blogs, but I’ve been extremely angry and frustrated with my country for a great while. Yesterdays event was over the top – not okay, okay. I have high hopes and confidence in President-Elect Biden & Vice-Elect Harris. I need them in control now for my own sanity.

A simple, yet, intricate sandwich was constructed and enjoyed to distract from the madness. A grilled Pretzel Bun was topped with Guacamole on both halves. A raw Tomato slice was platform for this Ⓥ sandwich to shine and hold the grilled Onion & Green Pepper and raw Radish slices.

Roasted Chipotle Balsamic infused Brussels Sprouts were deleafed (new word?) to act as a ‘Lettuce’ for the Guacamole splattered top Pretzel Bun with roasted Jalapeño to plop on. Served to myself with Potatoes, remaining Brussels Sprouts And a Snow Cold Beer, a record for consuming (not really) a sandwich took place because of deliciousness.

Roasted Eggplant Pilaf

Posted on January 2, 2021 by jeffreylatty

Chipotle and Balsamic Vinegar (with Olive Oil, Sea Salt & Pepper and Garlic) came together, infusingly, to be tossed with chopped Eggplant:)

Roasted somewhat toasted, this Eggplant looked and smelt Amazing. A simple Pasta Sauce was simmered with Ⓥ Crumbles, Chickpeas and Mushrooms.

Pre-cooked Brown Rice was added with chopped Parsley and the Roasted Eggplant.

Pasta Salad

Posted on December 31, 2020 by jeffreylatty

With ease, a simple and quick Salad was developed. After the Chickpeas are cooked of course, a matter of putting things together was only needed.

Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Garlic, Sea Salt, Peppe & Chipotle Powder mixed/stirred/shooken was created.

Tri-color Rotini was cooked and mixed with the Chickpeas, Green Pepper, Onion, Radish, White Onion and VEGAN Parmesan. Just a quick reason to post a few pictures:)

Rice Lentili Bake

Posted on December 29, 2020 by jeffreylatty

It’s amazing how vast a pot of Lentili (Lentili Chili) will last:)

In previous posts, details of my Lentili are more vivid. Rice was cooked, Earth Balance ‘butter’ was added & mixed nicely before the Lentili was added to be infused with the art of stirring.

Carrots were tossed with Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, Balsamic Vinegar, Olive Oil, Sea Salt and Pepper prior to a generous charring. The charred Carrots were diced to garnish the Rice Lentili Bake with Cilantro.

The Rice confused Lentili included Soy Sauce and a Daiya topping previous of a light/medium baking.

Black Bean Daiya Quesadilla Wich

Posted on December 25, 2020December 26, 2020 by jeffreylatty

¡Happy Holidays!

Trying to think outside of the bun, yet, stay inside of the bun, a sandless wich was constructed.

Corn Tortillas, a Pretzel Bun, Daiya, Cilantro, Black Beans and Jalapeño brought this deliciously textured (animal-free) beast to life.

To make this piece of art look and taste even better, Romain Lettuce, Tomato and Onion were placed between the Bun//Tortilla greatness. Served with steakless Fries and thrown into a basket, minimal dishes only had to be done. Stay safe!

Hummus as the condiment:)

Lentili Daiya Dawg

Posted on December 19, 2020 by jeffreylatty

Amazing flavorful Veggies were added to water – creating its own Veggie Broth before Lentils were added to be simmered for hours.

A Vegan Hot Dawg was lightly grilled, tossed on a bun, topped with strained Lentili, Avocado and Daiya.

Garnished with delicious Cilantro, this comfort food couldn’t be more comfortable.

Lentili Mac Stuffed Peppers

Posted on December 14, 2020 by jeffreylatty

Time exponentially speeds up and my patience exponentially dwindles. Chili is the best cold weather comfort food. Canned beans are for amateurs or a quick fix for those desperate addicts:)

My brain has somewhat evolved into the laziest (at the moment) chili concept – being stuck in a paradox between laziness and quality.

Chili with Lentils = L E N T I L I

Also, with the disapproval of canned beans, seasonings (in my mindfulness) are discouraged.

Natural flavors of hot Peppers and Veggies are my key to something great.

Lentili combined with Almond Milk, Daiya and Mac noodles were the filling to some Green Peppers.

Twice Roasted Daiya Potatoes

Posted on December 12, 2020December 12, 2020 by jeffreylatty

Simple and fairly quick, these Potatoes do not mess around. Heartier than your normal steak Fries, these are steakless Fries and Ⓥeganful Fries.

Quality Russet Potatoes were quartered into large wedges. Large enough wedges to basically be an entree dish.

The wedges were tossed in light Olive Oil, Sea Salt and Pepper, thrown on parchment paper (peels down) and roasted for around 20 minutes at 405.

The wedges were tonged back into the mixing bowl and lightly seasoned with Garlic Powder, a pouch of Daiya ‘cheese’ and a pouch of Daiya ‘bacon’ from the ghost of Ⓥegan past. The hot Potatoes were not as easy to toss as dreamt. Almond milk was added to ease that process to my liking.
