[Guest guest]

just thought i'd share what i had for supper. i had a pasta plate of fusilli, chopped shitake mushrooms, lotsa garlic, and fresh spinach sauteed with a vegan instant alfredo sauce (recipe in "the saucy vegetarian"). will post it later because i'm having a brainfart on where i put that sauce cookbook at the moment. :-D

Yes ;=) Do let us have the recipe - it sounds like a winner!

 

As for me, I cooked up what was in the fridge - not a lot of any one thing

except bell peppers/capsicums. Didn't feel like a stirfry as such, but ended up

with sort of one anyway.

 

If I had to call it anything, I'd call it Mushroom and Pepper Fried Rice-less.

Several large mushies, four or five soaked dried mushrooms, half an onion,

three or so cloves of garlic, one small red pepper and one small green one, 1

small carrot, several 'rounds' of ginger, one-third pkg firm tofu slivered and

marinated in cayenne and Braggs - I think that was about all but it was last

night, after all. Oh yes, a cup of frozen green peas and a cup of frozen corn -

always in my freezer.

 

I chopped everything except the onion, fresh mushies and the peppers very

fine and diced the rest. Found that I was out of rice (horrors!) for what was

supposed to be fried rice except for about a cup of cooked in the back of the

fridge, so kept going anyway. Sauteed the lost, except for the rice, in a tiny

smidge of oil (okay, added a little water and steamed it all after the garlic

and

mushrooms had been stirred around), gave a shake of crushed chilies to the

pan and stirred in the rice until it was hot, added a little tamari.

 

As I say, it would have been fried rice which was heavy on the veg, except

with only about a cup of rice for two people it was even heavier on them. My

dh declared it a triumph - and said leave out the rice next time. I agree *lol*

I

guess it was sort of a chinese-inspired diced cooked salad?

 

Not a recipe - but it's what we had. Not gourmet cooking either *lol* But you

would ask!!!! I'm hanging out for Megan's alfredo sauce recipe and the recipe

for her pasta dish!

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)
