Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 sounds good - and ambitious! I've been in the kitchen all morning with two dogs underfoot (we're having irrigation put in the garden today so they are in the house with me). I tried to make the " tzimmes " (sp?) they have in prepared foods at Whole Foods. I roasted some sweet potato and carrots tossed in olive oil. Then on the stovetop simmered some orange juice with prunes, dried apricots, golden raisins and currants. Reduced the orange juice and mixed with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Turned out pretty good. We're having friends over tomorrow and we're having a bunch of different salads/side dishes. I also made a tabbouleh with quinoa instead of bulgar and will make a tomato and " mozzarella " salad with basil. I made this faux mozzarella that turned out pretty darn good - when I marinate the 'cheese' with oil and vinegar it makes a great salad. Oh, and also the brownie recipe from the " how it all vegan " cookbook. I'm done for the day! nancy , EBbrewpunx@c... wrote: > bored silly today > so, since its recipe day..thought i'd share wot i whipped up fer breakfast an > hour ago... > > stir-fry veggies and mock chicken > the stuff: > now and zen un-chicken > brocolli > a whole mess of garlic (about 8 cloves) > from the garden: > onion > tiny little red pepper(i fergot wot it is..i planted it last yr, still > alive..) > tomato(first one of the season!! yay!) > bok choy(weird crop..the last one was really small..i let it go to seed last > winter, and its come back with huge plants..go figure) > spinach > malabar spinach > egyptian spinach > vietnamese corriander > 3 types of basil > parsley > garlic chives > > cooking sauce: > cup of water(veggie broth would have been better..but..don't have any) > large dash of red chili sauce > 2 teaspoons(about) rice vinegar > shot of soy sauce > shot of braggs liquid aminos > teaspoon organic sugar > > spices like salt, pepper, etc (i really didn't pay much attention) > > oiled pan with olive oil and peanut oil > added garlic and onion.. > proceeded to chop up brocolli..added that > covered pan > chopped up remaining veggies/herbs > tossed em in > sauteed un-chicken in second pan... > > served over a bed of rice... > > thoughts > it was pretty good..especially fer something i made up as i went along > could have definately benefited from veggie broth... > maybe corn starch would have been good in it as well > if you don't like hot, back off on the chilli sauce..i tossed in a big > squirt..prolly 3 tablespoons..my nose is still watering.... > added a lil seasame seed on top, and it was nummy > > fraggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 dependin on wot you want... there's layonna in downtown oakland at the edge of Chinatown which sells a variety of mock meats.. then there are all those places within Chinatown..tho, how old some of that canned stuff is i'm afraid to even think about you can get unchicken, unribs, unturkey, tofurky, etc and so forth at Berkeley Bowl and Whole Foods, both in Berkeley..tho they are buildin another Whole Foods down by Lake Merritt i'm sure other natural grocers around here carry a similar selection... rainbow out in SF i know carries a bunch of stuff.... theres a few stores in the bay area where you can purchase fake meat. I beleive theres one in oakland (correct me if im wrong fraggle) and theres one in san jose.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Hi Peter, I beleive that there is a huge industry in far east that make all animal products such as chicken, fish and anything you can think of from soya beans. It is flavoured like chicken or fish etc. I went to a restaurant in Indonesia with my client, as they thought that my being a veggie I would like it. But I told them that all the animalsmells will be hard for mr even though it is all made out of tofu. I ate normal tofu dishes. But they were enjoying everything they can get on the menu. It was fascinating to me that the owner was strictly vegetarian was insulted when I inquired if they cook meat at all. They said we never cook meat in this restaurant. A novel idea for me. I also wanted to thank you and a lady who emailed me about liver/GB flush. I did it. it was great. I had so many green stones that came out of me. I am going to try again. Thank you. Everyone should visit curezone.com, a great website. ThanX. Atul peter hurd <swpgh01 wrote: Fraggle, What the F**k is mock chicken? is it some poor fowl that has been insulted?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Now I want to come over to your place. Sounds good. I am a terrible cook.
