Chipotle Harrisa Sauce

-
This sauce recipe is total awesomeness and super easy. Very few ingredients. Inspired by Harissa, but a little different.

I large jar (around 24 ounces) roasted red peppers, including the liquid
2-3 chipotles and 1 tsp adobo sauce
3 cloves garlic
1 lime, zest and juice
Small drizzle of canola or olive oil
1 tbl fresh cracked coriander seeds
1 tbl ground or fresh cracked cumin
1 tsp basil
Black pepper to taste

Add all of the ingredients to a blender and buzz until smooth. Taste. Adjust seasoning if desired.

We're not adding salt because the pepper liquid already had plenty.

Chill in the fridge for a few hours at least.

Little spicy, little sweet, 100% delicious.

It's so easy, but it tastes so good. Don't take my word for it. Try it yourself and see.

Vegan Rice a Roni Spicy Spanish Rice

-
A few flavors of rice a roni that I know of, are vegan. Spanish and Fried Rice I believe. Herb and Butter is vegetarian. Or so it reads as vegetarian from the ingredients list. This simple recipe uses the spanish flavor and some canned jalapeno tomatoes to make a spicy and sweet delicious vegan meal quick and easy. 1 box rice a roni spanish rice 1 can jalapeno diced tomatoes 1 can pinto beans 1/4 cup frozen broccoli 1/2 cup frozen collard greens (mustard greens, kale or spinach are okay too) 1 tsp olive oil Add the specified amount of water to a pot according to rice a roni direction.

When it comes to a boil lower heat to maintain a good simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Add broccoli, greens, beans and tomatoes. Continue to simmer covered on medium low heat. Stirring every

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

This recipe is a cross between gazpacho and romesco. It takes elements of both and creates a unique variation that's both sweet and hot.  It has influences from both the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.  But above all else, it's 100% vegan and totally delicious.  A good sauce makes everything better.  Ingredients 10 mini sweet peppers (red, yellow and orange) 6 small cloves garlic 1 red habanero 2 tbls canola oil 1 tbl salt 1 tsp black pepper 2 tsps dry basil 2 cups water 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed Instructions Cut the veg into small chunks. Add all ingredients to a medium sauce pot. Cover. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes.  If possible, store in a container and let rest in the fridge overnight.  The next day, puree in a blender until smooth.  Alternatively, you can simmer for 30 minutes. Cool thoroughly and then puree.
