vegancognito skip to main skip to sidebar vegancognito sneakily delicious dishes that bring all the omnivores to the yard look for the cookbook in 2010 wednesday april 14 2010 p p p pizza everybody loves pizza even and especially vegans when i went vegan i thought my pizza days were over silly rabbit that i was turns out vegan pizza is especially good the ninjahusband and i love to make pizza together at home unfortunately our opinions differ on appropriate toppings but one thing we can agree on is our dough he is a master of dough making and we have recently discovered and tweaked what we think is the best pizza dough recipe out there super sneaky ninja pizza dough makes 2 crusts 4 mini crusts or 3 calzones 2 tbsp dry active yeast or 2 packets 1 2 tsp sugar 1 2 cup warm water 3 1 2 cups flour 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 1 gently whisk together yeast sugar and water set aside for 5 10 minutes until the yeast has bloomed you will know it is ready when it looks kind of frothy and bubbly 2 combine flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached 3 add the yeast mixture to your flour as well as the olive oil and knead with the dough hook for 5 10 minutes until thoroughly mixed and elastic 4 dump the dough out onto the counter and knead a little more until the dough is easy to work with divide into 2 for regular sized pizzas or 4 for mini pizzas or 3 for calzones and stretch each into an approximate crust shape let rest for 10 minutes 5 stretch the dough again into its final desired shape top and bake at 500 f for 12 minutes until the edges are golden you can top your pizza with anything you like the possibilities are endless with pizza nowadays i like to think outside of the cheese realm however the pizza above features teese vegan cheese smart deli pepperoni green peppers and black olives i also made a killer calzone the other day with daiya vegan cheese smart deli pepperoni green peppers sauteed mushrooms and garlic and black olives mmmm pizzalicious posted by batgirl at 9 15 pm 3 comments labels pizza tuesday april 13 2010 white girl daal in our household indian inspired food is queen ever since he was 10 months old and had his first taste of channa masala the supertoddler has devoured indian food like it was his last meal i have a couple of good indian cookbooks and we have an amazing indian restaurant in the area those things paired with the emergency amy s frozen indian food dinner have been able to fulfill almost any need for the cuisine that we ve had over the last couple of years i ve not really ventured off into my own territory making my own creations using those flavorful ingredients until now i ve never found a daal recipe that i ve been satisfied with they always seem to come out very bland and lacking the umph daals have in restaurants one night when supertoddler was begging for his beloved indian food i decided to try my hand at creating my own simple daal from quick cooking red lentils how hard could it be the resulting daal although possibly not very authentic i don t know any seasoned indian chefs help me out here was flavorful and rich and the leftovers were lovely for days to come it is now the supertoddler s favorite dish and he asks for it often i present to you white girl daal so respectfully named on account of my inability to assure you of any degree of its authenticity white girl daal makes 4 6 servings 3 4 cup red lentils rinsed and picked over water i ll explain amounts later 1 2 tsp tumeric 1 medium yellow onion diced 1 14 5oz can diced tomatos drained or one large tomato chopped 2 tbsp canola or other mild flavored oil 1 clove of garlic minced 4 curry leaves chopped optional you can find these at an indian market 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp coriander 1 2 tsp garam masala an indian spice blend salt to taste 1 in a medium pot combine lentils 1 1 2 cups of water tumeric and onion bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes until the lentils are tender and starting to break apart during this simmering time stir the lentils every few minutes and if they look like they are getting low on water and trust me they will add another half a cup i honestly have no idea how much water i usually add to this as it varies every time just keep an eye on it trust yourself and add water as you feel it is needed 2 add the tomato and continue to simmer as you prepare the other ingredients 3 heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat add garlic curry leaves if using and spices sautee until the garlic is golden but not burnt add this mixture to the lentils and stir to combine 4 season with salt to taste and allow to cook for another 5 minutes to blend flavors serve with rice or flatbread posted by batgirl at 8 55 pm 2 comments labels daal indian lentils tuesday march 23 2010 cashew fettuccine alfredo in my pre vegan pregan heh days one of my favorite things to order in an italian restaurant was fettuccine alfredo since going vegan i have been searching for a good alfredo recipe but as of yet have come up short this recipe from vegweb called cashew fettuccine alfredo is closer than anything i ve tried thus far i feel like i m on the right track now some spice modifications and i think this recipe will be spot on cashew fettuccine alfredo makes 6 servings 1 lb fettuccine pasta cooked al dente 1 cup raw cashews 3 cups boiling water 1 tbsp lemon juice 3 garlic cloves crushed 2 tbsp olive oil 6 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 4 tsp nutmeg salt pepper to taste 1 grind the raw cashews in a food processor or blender until finely powdered slowly pour in the boiling water and process until smooth add lemon juice garlic olive oil nutritional yeast and nutmeg and continue processing until the sauce has thickened and is well blended 2 pour the sauce into a large pan with the noodles and toss gently until the sauce thickens and is hot salt pepper to taste serve with peas broccoli and or garlic bread posted by batgirl at 10 28 am 2 comments labels fettuccine alfredo pasta monday march 22 2010 pretty much the best blended salsa of all time as a counterpart to the ever delicious pretty much the best hummus of all time i bring to you pretty much the best blended salsa of all time as a general hater of anything that includes raw onions the only way i can truly enjoy salsa is in its blended form i ve tried many a time to make blended salsas at home with raw tomatoes only to end up with grainy mushy and sickly orange concoctions while researching salsa recipes on the internet i found a recipe where the author used canned tomatoes for his salsa canned tomatoes oh the horror say it ain t so but it is so and they make the best blended salsa you will ever put in your mouth swallow your authenticity related pride and make this salsa i promise you will not be disappointed pretty much the best blended salsa of all time makes a large jar full 1 28 oz can whole tomatoes slightly drained how much liquid you keep is up to you i like to keep about half 1 2 bunch cilantro leaves 1 2 onion chopped 2 cloves garlic smashed 2 or 3 guajillo or other dried chiles rehydrated in hot water for 20 minutes juice from 2 limes 2 jalapeno peppers seeded and chopped blend everything in your food processor or blender until it reaches your desired consistency taste and add salt as necessary store in a glass jar in the fridge posted by batgirl at 10 19 am 2 comments labels salsa sunday march 21 2010 gnocchi with zucchini and portabella mushrooms as much as possible i try to feature my own recipes on this blog however sometimes a recipe from a fellow vegan s blog stands out so much that i simply must mention it here as well gnocchi with zucchini and portabella mushrooms from fat free vegan is just one such recipe this simple dish is easy to put together nutritious and absolutely packed with flavor it is one of my top 10 favorite foods hands down the author is critical of it on her blog but i made the suggested change of cubing the zucchini instead of cooking it in ribbons and it comes out perfectly for me every time i m a cook who is not shy to add a little olive oil to a pan to help the cooking process along and i have the belly to show for it despite the temptation to do so in this recipe i refrained and was richly rewarded with the deeply caramelized flavor of the zucchini and mushrooms every bit of the goodness is deglazed off the bottom of the pan by the tomatoes you may not have faith in this dry cooking method as you re making this recipe but trust me follow the directions and you will come out with an end result that sends your mouth on a flavor trip through the planets this dish is so loaded with vegetables that you don t even really need a vegetable to round out your meal the photo above shows the gnocchi served alongside some black bean croquettes with vegan hollandaise sauce scrumptious posted by batgirl at 10 12 am no comments labels gnocchi portobello zucchini saturday march 20 2010 mexican rice while in arizona visiting a good friend we went to a wonderful mexican place for dinner i thought we had good mexican food here in utah but it s nothing compared to the mexican in arizona i thought my tastebuds were going to die of happiness surprisingly the highlight of the meal was the chile and tomato studded mexican rice served on the side it was extremely flavorful and the little pieces of green chile and tomato throughout the rice were dynamite as soon as i came home i had to recreate it mexican rice makes 6 servings 2 cups white rice long grain would be especially good here as it wouldn t be as sticky as the short grain i used 4 cups good vegetable broth i used better than bullion no chicken broth 1 14oz can diced tomatoes undrained 2 6oz cans diced green chiles mild or hot depending on your spice tolerance undrained 2 tbsp olive oil salt pepper and fresh lime juice to taste 1 in a medium pot combine rice broth tomatoes chiles and olive oil over medium high heat bring to a boil turn heat to low cover rice and cook for 15 20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed 2 season to taste with salt pepper and fresh lime juice serve alongside any mexican dish in the picture above the rice was served alongside chile lime refried beans posted by batgirl at 10 03 am no comments labels chiles mexican rice tomatoes friday march 19 2010 filled cupcakes i ve recently made a wonderful discovery most jello instant puddings are vegan the milk you would usually make them with isn t of course but that can be remedied soy milk doesn t have enough fat in it to get the pudding to set up but coconut milk has enough and more in place of the 2 cups cow s milk called for i make it with 1 1 2 cups coconut milk and 1 2 cup soy milk and voila instant vegan pudding i don t like to eat the pudding straight as it is with that amount of fat in it although it s good for getting some extra fat and calories into supertoddler on days when he s not eating enough however pudding made in this manner is perfect for filling cupcakes in the cupcake pictured above i used the golden vanilla cupcakes recipe from vegan cupcakes take over the world poked my finger in the middle of the cooled cupcake and piped the pudding right into the middle i then covered the cupcake with gnache you can also use vegan buttercream frosting it resulted in a delicious boston cream pie cupcake perfectly rich and decadent the flavor combinations are endless pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes with cheesecake filling and cinnamon buttercream frosting vanilla cupcakes with chocolate filling and chocolate butter cream use your imagination i ve gotten dozens more compliments on my cupcakes since i started filling them with pudding and little do they know i cheated shhh don t tell posted by batgirl at 9 56 am 1 comment labels cupcakes pudding older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me batgirl batgirl lives and cooks in sandy ut with her ninja
