Yay! Glad to see this thread active again! I'll definitely start posting again, I have a bunch of ripe pods ready to be put into some dishes this upcoming week!
Chkn' fajitas tonight. With bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, mushrooms, and squash. Not sure I personally love the morning star chicken but the rest of the family likes it. And I can drown anything in hot sauce. LMAO
Had to do it up in the kitchen to honor GIP. I hang out with a lot of Macedonians and they always eat these tiny skinless sausages called cevapcici. I decided to make them with some plant based "meat". I chopped up half an onion, a clove of garlic, smoked paprika, GIP's serrano pow pow, and black pepper (these meat imitation things are sometimes preseasons so be mindful of that if you make your own). I added some baking soda and some flax for texture because they are usually added to ground meat (egg not flax usually), however I have no idea if that is necessary for the texture with plant based meat.
I let the mixture sit for a couple hours and marinated some veggies. I don't have the ability to grill at the moment so I had to broil everything. I served it with fresh bread, sliced up sugar rush peppers and the hottest ajvar that I can find store bought.
10/10 would do this again. Even my macedonian friends were impressed!
Sweet potato, squash and black bean enchiladas. Filling recipe comes from a vegan cookbook called Thug Kitchen "eat like you give a f*ck" sauce is homemade utilizing fresh produce from the garden. We usually like cheese but decided the dish is plenty delicious without it. I'll be topping mine with fermented jalapeno slices and avacado.
I've fallen in love with this vegan chilli recipe:
I'm making it every week - it's so easy and so very tasty. I made some today! I found that it's plenty spicy enough just with the can of chipotles so I leave out the additional pepper powder. Also, not having any marmite, I substituted miso instead. Turns out great!
If you ever visit new Orleans and get a craving for a burger. Atomic burger is where it's at. This is a green chili burger made with beyond meat. Loaded with roasted poblano peppers and spicy mayo. As a bonus they have a spicy pepper ketchup that is quite mild but tasty.
No meat chili over hash browns with fresh yard eggs. I've always called this a "slinger" traditionally served with a hamburger patty but we opt for morning star "sausage" and of course pickled jalapenos
Mock pulled pork. Made with lions mane mushrooms. 1/4 cup each onion, garlic and starfish pepper sauteed with the shredded mushrooms. As you see in the picture the mushroom peels apart similar to lobster. This makes for an amazing texture. Tossed with a little bit of barbecue sauce and topped with homemade sauerkraut. Absolutely amazing.
