Text of the page (random words):
on her cud all focus on simple recipes or techniques that like the majority of my recipes leave the flavours of the veggies at the fore here are a couple of em when toasted dulse turns almost camouflage y and mimics a good salty chip dulse chips a method not a recipe dulse chips are one of the easiest and tastiest snacks you ll ever munch on while watching a movie or mindlessly trolling blogs dulse chips can also be crumbled and sprinkled on popcorn mixed into mashed potatoes so very tasty or sprinkled on salads soups stews c for a tasty smoky salty bite and a faint taste of the sea as in my riffed gumbo recipe to make em simply turn your broiler on at 350 f chop your dulse into whatever size pieces you fancy and lay it in a single layer on a cookie sheet set in the upper third of your oven for about 2 minutes they ll get yellow green and some will stay pinky purple but don t let them get black personally i like them a bit burnt but apparently carcinogens aren t good for you so we ll just pretend i never said that take em out and let em cool once cool they can either be eaten plain or sprayed with a bit of olive oil and tossed in nutritional yeast spices whatever you like personally i go for either a dusting of my cajun spice mix or simply some freshly ground black pepper wild rice with konbu shiitakes and scallions for those unfamiliar with konbu aka kombu it s a form of kelp indispensable in japanese cooking used in the making of dashi and for adding a savoury undernote or umami the fifth basic taste element to just about anything imaginable this recipe takes a bit of time and requires some foresight but it s well worth the wait and the majority of the waiting is just that waiting it s downtime so turn up your stereo and get your dancing shoes on or grab a good book and rock out with your geek self i ve separated the ingredients into groupings which correlate to the recipe s steps as you first need to make a konbu and shiitake stock konbu to shiitake no dashi then cook the wild rice then assemble what you need 2 x 3 piece dried konbu 6 small dried shiitake mushrooms 2 1 4 c water 1 2 c wild rice well rinsed 2 tsp toasted sesame oil 3 large cloves garlic minced 2 large scallions thinly sliced on the bias 1 tbsp genmai brown rice miso or your favourite miso 1 1 2 tsp unseasoned sweet brown rice vinegar 1 tsp low sodium tamari wheat free 1 2 tsp brown rice syrup or agave nectar or unrefined sugar freshly ground black pepper to taste what you do for the konbu to shiitake no dashi combine konbu shiitakes and water in a small pot and let sit at least two hours once the two hours are up bring to a boil over medium high heat and then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes remove shiitakes and konbu and reserve measure out 1 1 2 c of the dashi adding water if necessary to reach 1 1 2 c and bring to a boil add wild rice stir once then cover and reduce heat let rice simmer 50 60 minutes or until the grains have started to puff up stir with a fork and let simmer uncovered another 5 minutes drain and reserve excess liquid if there is any dissolve miso in 2 tbsp rice cooking liquid or water if there was no liquid left in the rice add rice vinegar tamari and rice syrup mix well and set aside remove stems from shiitakes and discard then thinly slice the caps slice konbu as thinly as possible heat sesame oil in a non stick skillet and fry garlic very briefly add sliced konbu and shiitakes and continue stir frying for about a minute toss in scallions and fry just until they start to cook then add cooked wild rice and mix well pour in the sauce toss well and let cook just until heated through stirring constantly season to taste with freshly ground black pepper pseudo sunomono i call this a pseudo sunomono because the traditional version of this delicious salad doesn t contain zucchini but as we know i m a big zucchini lover and my garden is in full production mode if you want to make this and aren t experiencing a zucchini flood or just don t like this summer squash by all means feel free to replace the zucchini with more cucumber but i personally love the taste and textural contrast using yellow zucchini lends a lovely colour sadly i didn t grow any this year what you need 1 medium english cucumber unpeeled thinly sliced in rounds 1 medium zucchini unpeeled thinly sliced in rounds 1 2 tsp salt 1 large piece dried wakame about 10 long 2 tbsp unseasoned sweet brown rice vinegar 2 tsp unrefined sugar or agave nectar 3 4 tsp low sodium tamari wheat free 1 2 tsp toasted sesame oil toasted black sesame seeds what you do combine sliced cucumber and zucchini in a fine meshed strainer placed over a bowl toss with salt and let stand 30 minutes to sweat have ready a bowl filled with ice water meanwhile place wakame in another bowl and pour boiling water over top to rehydrate let stand about 5 minutes or until wakame is softened but still rubbery don t let it get mushy drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop from cooking remove tough rib and discard or if you re me chew on it while you make the mono pat dry and slice or tear wakame into bite sized pieces in a jar combine vinegar sugar and tamari and shake until sugar is dissolved add sesame oil shake again and let stand while you prepare the salad once the cucumber and zucchini have finished sweating rinse very quickly under cold water to remove salt and squeeze out as much moisture as possible pat dry with a clean tea towel combine veggies and wakame in a bowl give the dressing one last shake and pour over top of veggies toss to coat then let stand at least 10 minutes before serving garnish with toasted black sesame seeds arame daikon and carrot salad with spicy sweet ginger dressing what you need 1 small daikon peeled and finely shredded 1 medium carrot scrubbed or peeled and finely shredded 1 3 c shredded dried arame 2 piece fresh ginger grated 1 large clove garlic minced or pressed 2 1 2 tbsp unseasoned sweet brown rice vinegar 1 2 3 4 tsp low sodium tamari wheat free 1 2 tsp sriracha a scant 1 2 tsp 1 2 tsp unrefined sugar or agave nectar what you do toss daikon and carrot with salt and put in a fine mesh strainer placed over a bowl let sweat at least 30 minutes in a small jar combine ginger garlic rice vinegar tamari sriracha and sugar and shake well let sit while you prepare the salad pour boiling water over arame and let stand 5 minutes drain rinse and place in a small pot with enough fresh water to cover simmer 5 7 minutes then drain and rinse thoroughly under very cold water drain again and pat dry once the daikon and carrots have finished sweating squeeze out as much moisture as possible rinse quickly under cold water to remove salt and squeeze again combine with arame in a non reactive bowl mix then pour dressing over top and toss to combine refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavours to marry this salad is even better the day after it s made i use a julienne peeler to shred the daikon and carrots it set me back about 10 i think and is one of my favourite and most used kitchen gadgets posted by l at 13 05 6 comments labels arame cooking cucumbers daikon dulse

chanterelle croutons the first local chanterelles of the season have finally made an appearance at the organic foods store and so the poor folks who work and shop there were treated to my happy produce dance again it s lucky i don t embarrass easily anyone who gets as excited over fresh vegetables as i do should not be let out in public as at any moment i m prone to bust out a bastardized version of the electric slide and well that just ain t pretty but these these are some sexy morsels of fungus i bought out their stock during my lunch break yesterday and spent an insomnia night with visions of this soup dancing in my head the sweet caramelized subtlety of the roasted garlic brings out the earthiness of the chanterelles and the chanterelle croutons provide textural contrast to the creaminess imparted by the cauliflower and potatoes it s a simple hearty soup that relies on the quality of the primary ingredients rather than added seasonings and trickery for its flavour and in my opinion deserves a dance all its own creamy roasted garlic chanterelle and cauliflower soup with chanterelle croutons what you need 1 small onion chopped 2 medium leeks thinly sliced white and tender light green parts 2 large cloves garlic minced 1 2 lb new potatoes peeled and diced approx 1 heaping cup 1 medium head cauliflower florets and stem chopped approx 6 heaping cups 1 lb fresh chanterelles roughly chopped 4 large heads roasted garlic instructions below in case you need em 1 4 c dry white wine 3 1 4 c home made strong salt free mushroom stock 1 2 3 4 tsp ground white pepper 1 1 1 2 tsp salt to taste 3 medium chanterelles sliced olive oil spray salt freshly ground pepper what you do turn broiler to 400 f line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray sheet with olive oil lay sliced chanterelles on the sheet in a single layer spray very lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper broil in upper third of oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until crispy and golden remove from oven and set aside in a large soup pot steam fry onion leeks and minced garlic until onions are translucent then add chopped chanterelles and continue cooking until the chanterelles start to sweat add cauliflower potatoes and a few tablespoons of mushroom stock and continue steam cooking until cauliflower and potato begin to soften add wine remaining stock roasted garlic salt and pepper bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer covered about 30 minutes or until cauliflower and potatoes are very tender and start breaking down pur é e soup using either an immersion blender or a food processor adding additional stock if as needed to achieve a smooth consistency taste for salt and pepper eat how to roast garlic if you ve never roasted your own garlic because you thought it was hard get out your big boots you re gonna want to kick yourself turn on your broiler at 400 f and cut as many decent sized rectangles of tinfoil as you have garlic bulbs to roast remove papery outer skins of the garlic bulbs leaving them whole leave the layer of skin directly enclosing the garlic cloves slice the tops off the bulbs to expose the cloves place each bulb on its own square of tinfoil wrap tightly and place on a baking sheet in the upper third of your oven roast for an hour remove from oven and let cool enough to handle before removing foil to get the roasted garlic out of its pajamas it s as simple as squeezing the bulbs from the bottom to store roasted garlic just package in a tightly sealed container and keep in the fridge i normally roast a boat load of garlic at a time to have on hand if you ve ever had roasted garlic and tahini smeared on pita bread you ll understand why i do this since this month s edition of the go ahead honey it s gluten free event is all about the seasonal produce and this soup contains local chanterelles and local and organic garlic new potatoes and cauliflower i m submitting it for this month s round up being hosted by rachel over at the crispy cook i also humbly submit this original soup recipe to this month s edition of the culinarty original recipes event hosted by lore at culinarty posted by l at 19 06 12 comments labels cauliflower cooking cooking challenges gluten free mushrooms recipes roasted garlic soups vegetables 8 19 2008 riffin on gumbo does anyone else ever feel like okra s almost too pretty to eat when it comes to gumbo i guess i ve never been much of a purist i ll just toss a bunch of stuff into a pot throw some cajun style spices at it and call it a day from what i can tell and with my admittedly limited knowledge of cajun and creole cuisines i enjoy this gentleman s explanation of the difference s being a part french canadian girl who now lives in the maritimes and a bit of a marxist romantic when it comes to culinary cultural histories i find myself drawn to the cajun lore of the underdog a traditional gumbo has 4 basic pillars upon which are built a myriad of variations i ve been able to identify these pillars as 1 roux flour browned in fat 2 large quantity variety of flesh be it mammalian fowl fish sea swamp food 3 okra gumbo lady s fingers 4 the cajun creole vegetable holy trinity onion celery green bell pepper so with this in mind i m fully prepared to admit that this dish it ain t gumbo since i avoid wheat as much as possible although i ve found that dry roasting chickpea flour can nicely mimic the toasty flavour of a good roux and rarely rarely consume cooked fats no i m not fat phobic i just prefer to get my fats in their purest state as much as possible as with all my nutrients i don t roux the animal flesh thing kind of answers itself what with being a mock meat hating vegan but okra gumbo growing up i knew it as baamieh i love and if i ve ever been accused of worshiping anything it s vegetables so if two outta three ain t bad damn straight then maybe two outta four ain t terrible except that the results are so terribly terribly tasty this ain t real gumbo what you need 1 large onion diced 5 large cloves garlic minced 1 medium jalape ñ o pepper seeded and minced 1 medium hot banana pepper seeded and minced 2 large ribs celery chopped 1 large green bell
