March 31, 2010 – Vegan Sausage with onions and peppers
The inspiration came from a quick shopping trip to whole foods. I was looking for a simple dinner since I knew I would be hungry when I got home and did not have too much to choose from.
I found some vegan sausage and the light bulb turned on!
What else would compliment vegan sausage, but sauerkraut!
I grabbed a yellow onion, red bell pepper, yam and an avocado .
I sauteed the diced onions for about 5 minutes, then threw in the diced red pepper, yam and avocado for the last 5 minutes.
Around that time I also warmed up the sausage and the sauerkraut in a skillet.
I wanted some veggies, so I grabbed about 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies and an apple.
Perfect, perfect perfect!
Feb. 21, 2010 – Vegan Tostadas (Soyless)
I found that www.vegweb.com has some amazing recipes. I continually find myself searching their immense database of ideas and always come up with several to choose from.
Tonight, my Tortilla Soup was not going to be enough, so I added some basic tostadas to finish this dinner.
This very simple item has lots of flavor and can be made in just a few minutes.
Vegan Soyless Tostadas
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
1 cup refried beans
3 tablespoons red enchilada sauce
2 avocados
1 roma, finely diced
ground cumin, lime juice, salt, pico de gallo seasoning (or cayenne if you can’t find it) to taste
4 tostada shells
shredded romaine or cabbage
finely diced red or green onions
cilantro (optional)
diced romas
jarred jalapeno slices
if necessary, whatever else floats your boat
Directions:
1) Make guacamole: Mash your 2 avocados in a bowl, add finely diced romas, a dash of lime juice (be careful not to add too much!), salt, cumin, and pico de gallo (to taste). Set aside.
2) Mix refried beans with enchilada sauce in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes.
3) While beans are in the microwave prepare the rest of your veggies/ toppings.
4) Once beans are ready mix them around again. Spread beans over your tostadas first, then onions, cilantro, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, and jalapenos. Enjoy!
