need a Vegan recipe

[Smiling JOe]

Joe-
Try Gazpacho! It's a delicious vegan dish very appropriate in the heat of the summer.

2 cups vegetable stock
2 cups tomato juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 green pepper, seeded and diced
4 large tomatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 green onions (including tops) thinly sliced

Combine stock, tomato juice, lemon juice, garlic and black pepper in 3 quart pan over medium heat. Leave uncovered and bring to a boil. Stir in cucumber, green pepper, tomatoes and onion. Bring to a boil uncovered again. Remove from heat and cool. Cover tightly and refrigerate until well chilled. This makes six 1 cup servings.



P.S. When you're done with all that vegan potluck stuff, come on over to my house honey and I'll make you some fried chicken and biscuits.;-)

I think we may have a winner!!! Sounds perfect for a hot summer's evening. Fried Chicken and Biscuits? (0ops, forgot I was on the Vegan thread for a minute.)

Thanks, but I'm all set on the hummus. I love to make it. BTW, that creepy stuff in your daughter's roommate's fridge is probably Tahini (paste made from ground Seasame Seeds, (much like peanut butter but different)

Thanks for solving that mystery for me.

One time someone asked me to try and grill tofu for them. At first glance, I thought it would be an abomination to grill tofu, but then again it wasn't my grill . As expected, plain tofu from the grocery store does not grill easily.

Doc Chey's in Atlanta has great tofu -- it's crispy. I'm not sure how they prepare it. They have an open kitchen -- I need to check it out.

BTW I have no ties to this restaurant. I just like it.

:scratch: maybe they deep fry it? I never deep fried tofu for my vegan beacuse my deep fryer at work (non trans fat oil!) was also used to cook meats and fish, therefore contaminating the oil.

That would be my guess too. I have coated it in tempura battered and pan fried it before. Sometimes it turned out great - sometimes a mess.

But when it worked - it had that crispy texture very similar to what you can find in most Asian resturants.

Deep frying would be my guess, too.

My massage guy told me to go gluten-free for my joints, and my piano teacher wants me to go all fruits and vegetables to get rid of my mono symptoms and to prevent tendonitis.

Whatever.

I happen to like gluten. I would rather consume dairy than mess with calcium supplements. My father is a butcher, so meals without meat are not something we understand. As a landscape gardener, vegetables look too much like yard clippings to me.

Meat. Bread. Yum! (And God love you skinny vegan/vegetarians/pescatarians for leaving me that extra piece of steak! )

:funn: I knew I liked you for a reason.
