I think I am going to make a Middle-Eastern spiced lentil and aubergine stew tonight. I don't have a recipe in mind but I was thinking of a broad spice mix, maybe based on ras el hanout*. What should I serve it with - quinoa or rice (wife doesn't handle gluten well and my son is coeliac)? *I was thinking of cumin, coriander seed, turmeric, ginger chili, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and a touch of ground cardomom and allspice. Now that they are listed I see it's basically ras el hanout, but I might add extra spices if those are flavours I want to accentuate. Oh, and I might also serve it with a tahini sauce.

I like quinoa. I do an overnight slow cooker quinoa porridge with ginger and cinnamon served with peanut butter and maple syrup which is pretty drat tasty. It also works well instead of couscous or bulghur wheat.

GrAviTy84 posted:in the grand scheme of alternative grains it's probably dead last in terms of flavor. Yeah, it's got little intrinsic flavour, but that's also why it's so flexible. It all depends on how you cook it and/or how you use it. For example: therattle posted:I like quinoa. I do an overnight slow cooker quinoa porridge with ginger and cinnamon served with peanut butter and maple syrup which is pretty drat tasty. It also works well instead of couscous or bulghur wheat. I'm going to have to try this as an alternative to oatmeal, went a bit overboard with a 5 Kg bag of quinoa that I now have to get through.

A half cup of quinoa makes two moderate portions. My slow cooker requires about 4 parts liquid (usually 1.5 cups water, 0.5 cups milk) to one part quinoa. I add a generous scoop of powdered dry ginger and a cinnamon stick. Oh, and some salt. I'm not sure that dish really needed rice. I did some cinnamon caramelised onions and a tahini sauce, and all together it was delicious. therattle fucked around with this message at 20:56 on May 3, 2017 |

Every time I do a veg and legume dish I usually add some rice , quinoa, cous cous or even pearl barley, but as you said, they don't really even need it and I keep reminding myself not to bother. Just cook more veg and legumes!

On Sundays, I make a legume and veggie salad for the week for lunch. I usually use chick peas, but bought a big bag of mung beans and figured I'd try them out. Well, the pressure cooking instructions said 6-8 minutes so I went for 8. They were hopelessly overcooked, no good for a salad. I was going to pitch them but decided to see it as a challenge and figure out what I could do with a couple pounds of cooked mung beans for the week. The other night I diced half of a large onion, six or seven large cloves of garlic, some about-to-turn cilantro, and mashed them with the beans including two flax "eggs" (each one is 1 tbsp flax powder to 3 tbsp water, stir and let sit for ~10 minutes), turmeric, onion powder, cumin, paprika, some cayenne, and some dried parsley. Mashed it good and put it in a loaf pan, then into a 400 degree oven for an hour. It was a completely off-the-cuff non-recipe, but I swear it was the tastiest thing I've cooked in ages. It had a meatloaf-like consistency and the spices I used really really worked with the earthiness of the mung beans. I'd put this up as a vegan alternative to traditional meatloaf any time.

It's like a pound of flaxseed so I need to figure something out. Probably muffins and cornbread at least.

When I first encountered ground flaxseed I thought "great, I can add fiber to anything!" Until I tried adding it to a creamy soup while cooking, turned it into a sort of elastic goo.

By my reckoning, a sub is a sandwich because it's two distinct pieces of bread held together by a small amount of bread/crust. A hot dog bun is more like one coherent bun with a slit in it. (this may be more true in New England, where we have a distinct shape of bun for our hot dogs.) Considering that in modern language you can sandwich anything between two pieces of anything else, I'd certainly consider an ice cream sandwich to be a sandwich. A wrap is one piece of flat bread, so that's right out. Leave it open and cut it in half and I'd consider calling that an open-faced sandwich.

The vegan-chef GF pretty much always puts flax in her veggie burgers. It really helps bind it all together.

I wonder if it would work for veggie burgers/patties? It will absolutely work for veggie burgers/patties. I made some southwest-style patties with roughly mashed black beans, minced cilantro, corn, onion, garlic, jalapeno, roma tomatoes that I diced, removed the innards, salted, and rested for a while to pull as much moisture out as possible, and a couple tablespoons of flax egg substitute. Seasoned it with cayenne, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. They turned out goddamn gigantic so I cooked them in the oven rather than in a pan, and ate them open-faced on beds of romaine with some guac and hot sauce. They were outstanding.

Flax seed burgers turned out interesting. I think I might have used too much flax and didn't mash up the beans enough. I used 2 tbsp of flaxseed mixed in with 6 tbsp of hot bean broth for 1/2 lb. of beans. I also added some finely grated carrot, a small onion, and I put some frozen broccoli in at the end of the bean cooking. I baked it in muffin tins so I could portion it for lunch - 1/2 lb. of beans made 10 muffin tins. I'm going to have the bean patties and put it in a wrap with a bunch of coleslaw. Now I just need to figure out what to do with 2 cups of good bean broth, I'm thinking tofu and veggie stew with some gochujang but that might be weird.

The French-Canadian propane grill I got for a bargain and came with wrong measurements and an instruction manual without words finally got put together  The entire time I imagined Hank Hill berating me and talking about superior American grill manufacturers.Cooked some steak and shish-kabobs. Not bad not bad. Definitely gonna grill more this summer, hopefully minimum two times a week. Gonna buy a smoke box though cause as delicious as it was it didn't taste like charcoal. rgocs posted:Over in the General Questions thread vermin posted a link to my new favourite youtube channel, and since we're in sandwich talk, I'm going to post this one here: The minute I saw that video I wanted to go out to the nearest Cuban restaurant. I think I'm gonna cook that if I can up my motivation game.
