The chili requires about 8 cans of different beans, cans of whole and diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste, and lots of spices. I can't wait!

MiniVegan Joined: 12/28/12 Posts: 82	RE: What's Cooking Posted Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 8:40 PM I made a simple one today. Whole wheat pita bread. Top with tomato sauce, fresh basil and/or oregano, and thin slices of your favorite veggies (I used peppers, zucchini, and red onion). Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350. Quick no-cheese pizzas! - Amanda Be the change you wish to see in the world...

I made a cilantro jalepeno one today with no tahini or oil and I don't even miss it.

Yesterday was roast veggie spelt pasta. I've had burritos and veggie lasagne. I'm waiting on some nuticional yeast to come in the post but I've found meanwhile for anything like lasagne that would normally be topped with cheese I made up some lemony toasted bread crumbs I sprinkle on top. I'm planning something Asian tomorrow. Either sushi or a soba noodle stir fry.

Bugsmom Joined: 09/13/10 Posts: 2069	RE: What's Cooking Posted Monday, January 7, 2013 at 1:07 PM Not a new recipe - tonight is going to be a fav that we've made for the last year or so - Corn & mushroom chowder! We've had omnivores request it, that's how good it is (and we live in chowder crazy New England!) The key is that we over-cook some corn kernels then blend them and some of the liquid they cooked in to create a 'corn milk'. Quickly sweat onion in a big pot with a little veggie stock. Add the corn milk, more whole kernels, carrots, mushrooms and potatoes. Season as desired (just a little salt & pepper is all it needs). It may also use additional veggie stock, don't have the recipe handy here at work Really rich and yummy - taste and texture is like a chowder made with cream/milk and the mushrooms add a clam like texture to the bite. Great hearty winter soup for even non-vegans. --DebR

Um, RabidCarrot, if you would, can you not use such huge images? It really throws off things when I try to read posts in this thread - they all get squashed up to the right to make room for that big vegetable heart. Awesome image but makes it tough to read. Thanks --DebR

deborahjm Joined: 09/06/11 Posts: 162	RE: What's Cooking Posted Monday, January 7, 2013 at 9:18 PM I made this recipe tonight from Leah Lizarondo Shannon, The Brazen Kitchen. Delicious and easy. (I omitted the oil.) LENTIL CHILI WITH CHOCOLATE Serves 12 Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, chopped (largest you can get!) 10 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger 3 tablespoons chili powder 1 good super-heaping tablespoon pure cocoa 1 tablespoon Smoked Spanish Paprika 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1-2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped finely 1 28-ounce can of crushed or diced tomatoes 10 cups vegetable broth 3 cups French lentils water as needed Instructions: Saute the onions, garlic and ginger in oil. Once the onions are soft, add the chili powder and cumin. Saute for about a scant minute. Add the lentils and the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil uncovered and then cover and let it simmer on low for 45 minutes to an hour. Adjust water, salt and pepper as needed. Serve over rice or with hot crusty bread. I also like serving this over chopped dandelion or arugula.
