French Black Beans and Mushrooms with Gravy Vegan

There's something really satisfying about mushrooms treated in a french preparation. Wine, mustard and thyme are one of those classic combinations that evoke a fine dining experience without the fine dining price tag. 1 pint baby bella mushrooms chopped small 1 can black beans, rinsed 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbl tsps soy sauce 2 tbl spicy mustard 2 tsps prepared, jarred, horseradish (horseradish, vinegar and salt) 1 tbl hot sauce 1/4 cup dry white wine 2 tbls olive oil 2 tsps dry thyme 1 tsp black pepper 2 tsps salt When you cook down mushrooms some kind of molecular magic happens that turns bland, spongy fungi into a delectable culinary powerhouse. Add some wine and a few other components and you've got a deep, dark saucy ragout that will make anything you cover it with irresistible. It's a simple mixture that yields complex tastes and textures. It won't take up a lot of your time to make, but you'll have a hard time not eating it all in one sitting. Start yo

Vegan Recipe: 5 Minute Chocolate Mousse

This recipe is extremely easy to execute and it's also very kind to your wallet. It has only four ingredients. It's made in seconds using only your food processor. Yet, somehow it tastes just like something you worked really hard to make. There are many vegan chocolate mousse recipes on the internet. A lot use aquafaba. That weird liquid from a can of chick peas. Hard pass. Others use too many ingredients and require way more work than is necessary. This recipe is simple and delicious. I'm not a dessert cook. So when I do decide to create a dessert it has to be fairly uncomplicated and it has to be really yummy. That's exactly what this is. Ingredients 1 package silken firm tofu 3 tbls granulated truvia or similar sweetener 2 tbls original flavor almond milk 1/4 cup cocoa powder This mousse is light, airy, creamy and rich. How does it do that? By the magic of tofu. That's how. It's every bit as good as any dairy based pudding or mousse without the guilt of a

Asparagus and Tomato Salad

Asparagus is usually prepared cooked, but it's actually great in raw preparations. There's no worrying about losing that crunch and snap. It also has a milder, less grassy taste uncooked. Asparagus isn't traditionally a salad base, but it works well with fresh tomatoes to create a salad that's different in flavor and texture from your classic salad combinations. Thanks to the tasty nature of the two main components, a lot of herbs or spices are not required. These ingredients stand on their own. If you want your salad to be really fancy you could just use the asparagus tips and save the stalks for some other dish. A great thing to know about preparing asparagus is that there is generally a much larger useful portion than most people realize. We're told to snap it and the part that breaks off at the bottom should be discarded. But I often find that a lot of useful stalk is left on the bottom. Save those pieces nad cut them into chunks. If your knife goes throu

A Little Goes a Long Way

Here's a refreshing little mixture that's easy to put together. It features a tiny hint of indian flavor. Just as a background note for add a little depth to an otherwise simple array of ingredients. I've discovered that curry type blends of spices can be used in small amounts to just add that special background hint of interest without actually taking the dish in an entirely indian direction. They wake up all the other flavors as they hit the palate. Even though it's simple, it has a pronounced balance of acid, sweet, heat and savory. Ingredients 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved 3 cloves garlic 1 green bell pepper, diced 1 jalapeno, minced 1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 2/3 cup frozen corn kernels 1 tbl red wine vinegar 2 tbls olive oil 1/2 tsp ras el hanout 2 1/2 tsps salt 1/2 tsp black pepper

More Vegan Rice Mixes

Update: my mistake. vigo rice contains dehydrated chicken. don't know how i missed that the first time around. but i found a carolina yellow saffron rice that was animal and dairy free. the spicy yellow is not vegetarian. but the saffron yellow is vegetarian/vegan. i also learned mahamtma rice is the same as carolina rice. different branding depending on your location. visit their website for more detailed info on ingredients. you can quickly look up the nutritional info and ingredients of any of their products. http://www.carolinarice.com/en-us/products/categories/15/RiceMixes.aspx also go to the mahatma site. http://www.mahatmarice.com/en-us/products/categories/2/RiceMixes.aspx notice how it is the same as the carolina one. one brand for the east coast, the other for the west i would guess. The other day I was browsing amazon for vegan food. Rice mixes in particular because I love flavored rice, but do not love buying lots of expensive spices. What I was really cravi
