fragrant 30 seconds to a minute remove the saute to a bowl set aside cube the tofu by cutting through the center of the flat side then cut into sticks and then cubes spray your pan with a bit of spray oil and saute the tofu cubes until mostly browned i do this by stirring occasionally i m too lazy to turn each cube for perfect even brownness when tofu is sufficiently browned add saute back to the pan along with drained chickpeas stir to combine add the sauce and stir to coat scoop rice into a bowl add the tofu tikka masala garnish with cilantro and serve with naan or pita so yummy i m currently looking around for a truly vegan masala sauce recipe i ve found a few so far some using coconut yogurt a flavor that sounds yummy with the rest of the ingredients here i m also thinking about marinating the tofu ahead of time and grilling it to more closely recreate a traditional tikka masala do your recipes evolve like this 3 comments filed under comfort food dinner lunch recipe vegetarian tagged as chickpeas cilantro garlic tikka masala sauce onion red pepper rice tofu vegetarian february 27 2014 9 34 pm chocolate marbled banana bread nearly everyone i know loves banana bread and chocolate and who isn t fascinated by a marbled baked good when i saw this recipe on the ppk post punk kitchen the other day i actually started wishing my bananas would hurry up and get over ripe which for me is when the spots start to appear my beautiful slightly green bananas granted my wish and soon became spotted and then became delicious work of vegan baked art grab those over ripe bananas and a few other ingredients and create your own edible art 1 cup mashed very ripe banana about 3 bananas 3 4 cups sugar 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 2 tbsp canola oil 1 3 cup almond milk or your preferred non dairy milk 1 1 2 cups all purpose flour 3 4 tsp baking soda 3 4 tsp salt 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 6 tbsp boiling water divided preheat oven to 350f and lightly oil a 4 8 loaf pan put water on to boil peel and mash bananas measure before placing in a mixing bowl add milk sugar oil and vanilla mix until well combined add flour salt and baking soda mix until just combined if you still see a bi of flour that s ok be careful to not over mix measure and scoop out one cup of this mixture and transfer to another bowl in a small bowl dissolve the cocoa powder with 3 tbsp boiling water stir vigorously with a fork until smooth add the dissolved chocolate into the one cup of banana mixture mix until completely smooth and combined add 3 tbsp boiling water to the original plain banana mixture mix until mostly smooth scoop alternate 1 2 cupfuls into the oiled loaf pan i used a large spoonula to mix each batter and just used those to scoop out each mixture have fun and place the two different batters into the pan in a random fashion the randomness will help you make the groovy swirls here are my layers as they built up when all the batter is in the pan use a butter knife or wooden skewer to swirl through the batter in a circular motion for about 10 seconds bake 55 65 minutes check for doneness by inserting a skewer or butter knife into the center of the loaf it s done when a few moist crumbs cling to the skewer cool in the pan on a rack until you can handle the pan without an oven mitt then turn the loaf out to cool completely now comes the oooooooo ahhhhhhh part cut 1 2 inch slices and watch the ever changing swirled banana bread art present itself no need for a spread moist and flavorful on its own freshly cooled this bread has a nicely crisp crust after storage it softens i went to the store today looking for bananas past their prime alas none to be had i bought the least ripe ones which are now in a paper bag on the counter can t wait to make another one of these beautiful and yummy breads i highly recommend you make one for yourself and keep the recipe in mind for the next potluck or food gifting occasion perfect the ppk is my go to site for fabulous vegan recipes the recipes are easy to follow and written with just the perfect amount of humorous snark isa chandra is not your mom s betty crocker click on over and see for yourself 2

vegan february 22 2014 7 13 pm tofu riffic tacos pickled red onions on a taco oh bay bee the favor combination of the vinegar y onions creamy guacamole and the spicy smoky sauce on the tofu is other worldly good like something i ve never tasted or even imagined you may think you don t like tofu but after trying these tacos you ll be running to the store for more we came across this combo in a denver restaurant called fuel cafe a tricky place to find in an industrial part of the rino district click through the images on their page to get a feel for the place well worth the journey for tacos like these to get started you ll need to pickle a red onion it ll need time to chill and be ready for your tacos you can make the pickled onion ahead of time 1 2 cup cider vinegar 1 tbsp sugar 1 tsp kosher salt 1 red onion thinly sliced slice the onions as thin as you can blanch the onions in boiling water for about 10 20 seconds you don t want to blanch the color out if you see it starting to fade it s time to drain them drain completely in a colander and return to the now empty but still warm blanching pot add the vinegar sugar and salt along with enough water to just cover the onions bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute place onions and vinegar into a jar and chill the onions will turn a beautiful fresh hot pink color so pretty now that your onions are chilling prepare the sauce it s essentially the same as for sofritas the sauce can be made ahead of time you ll need 1 4 cup chipotles in adobo sauce 2 poblanos roasted peeled and seeded 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp salt 1 tsp chili blend like a fajita mix or a chili powder of your choice 1 tsp garlic powder a splash of lime juice 1 4 cup broth i use no chicken broth 1 2 tbsp tomato paste note ignore the tofu i recycled the pic from the sofritas post roast your poblanos either in a 400f oven or on your grill i chose my outdoor grill it was a beautiful day roast turning until blistered on all sides place the peppers in a plastic bag and seal to steam this will help the skins slip right off when the peppers have cooled enough for you to handle them peel by rubbing them gently with your fingers then remove the seeds and stem place the cleaned poblanos in your blender then add the chipotles cumin chili blend salt garlic powder oregano lime juice and broth blend until smooth transfer to a bowl and stir in the tomato paste set aside now for the tacos you ll need pickled red onions see recipe above prepared sauce see recipe above 1 14 0z package extra firm tofu always choose organic tofu to avoid gmos prepared guacamole buy it or make it yourself mine is simple avocado garlic powder salt lime juice and cilantro corn tortillas chopped lettuce chopped cilantro lime wedges drain and then press the tofu by placing it on a clean kitchen towel wrap the towel around the tofu and place something on top to help press out most of the remaining liquid let the tofu sit for at least 15 minutes up to 30 minutes and then cut into cubes by cutting through the side and then cutting long sticks finally cut the sticks into cubes the cubes will be about 1 2 inch on a side spray a fry pan with oil and place over medium high heat add tofu cubes and fry stirring occasionally to brown on all sides or as many as you can get don t worry about getting every cube perfectly browned reduce heat to low and add enough sauce to coat the tofu about half of the sauce stir to coat now it s time to put the tacos together warm the tortillas inside a kitchen towel in a microwave or however you like to warm them place a bit of lettuce then tofu cubes then a bit of guacamole then pickled onions and finally a sprinkle of cilantro look at them like art squeeze a lime over the top pick one up and have your first wondrous bite oh my both the sauce and the onions can be made ahead to speed up the tacos when you re ready to make them is this my new favorite way to eat tofu yessssssss mmmmmmmmmm yummy leave a

tofu vegan vegan mexican food february 22 2014 1 55 pm easiest beer bread ever it seems like every time i decide soup for dinner is a great plan it s too late to start a yeast bread to go with it wah fresh bread is so yummy with soup what to do what to do if you have an hour beer bread is what you do it s quick it s easy it s very much like real bread yum i googled this recipe which says it s the most popular beer bread recipe on the internet it is super easy and super fast now that i ve made it i do have one recommendation not mentioned in the original recipe the beer you use will have a huge impact on the flavor i used an ipa very hoppy which gave that same hoppy flavor to the bread for my taste i ll be using a more mellow beer next time that being said this recipe is a keeper 3 cups flour sifted 3 teaspoons baking powder omit if using self rising flour 1 teaspoon salt omit if using self rising flour 1 4 cup sugar 1 12 ounce can beer 1 4 cup melted butter or margarine preheat oven to 375f and oil a standard loaf pan sift the dry ingredients flour baking powder salt sugar together very important to keep the bread light and fluffy use a flour sifter or a fine mesh strainer add the beer stir until just combined pour into the prepared loaf pan pour melted butter over the top sounded weird to me but resulted in a wonderful crunchy buttery crust bake for 1 hour and cool on a rack until you can handle the pan then remove from the pan and cool for a total of 15 minutes this will make slicing a lot easier slice spread on your favorite buttery spread and enjoy i was making potato soup when i realized i needed a bread to go with it yummy combo now that i ve made this once i m thinking of all the other things that would be yummy to include like a whole wheat oats and stout combo or a light wheat ale and jalapeno combo or roasted garlic or oh yeah lots of ways to make this easy yummy bread a bit more gourmet have fun with your favorite combos leave a comment filed
