DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS.
#veggies #plants #vegan #lol #cooking
Years and years ago there was a movie where plants tried to take over the world.
Well I have a pumpkin, sweet potato and cucumber problem. My veggie patch is taken over by cucumbers and sweet potatoes. Worse is my pumpkins are growing wild and heading for my back door like vengeful Triffids. Soon I won’t be able to use that door! :-/
Place all ingredients except salt and spinach into a large pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils and barley are tender, about one hour. Add salt to taste and spinach, if desired. Cook briefly until spinach is wilted but still bright green.
1 C lentils, rinsed
2 stalks celery, sliced
1/2 C hulled or pearled barley
1/2 tsp oregano
6 C water or vegetable stock
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 onion, chopped
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
1/8-1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 tsp salt
2-4 C fresh spinach, chopped
Heat oil in a saucepan and fry onion until soft. Stir in chilli powder, ground ginger and garlic cloves. Add stock, sweet potatoes and mushrooms and simmer for ten minutes until tender. Add coconut milk and baby spinach and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the spinach just starts to wilt. Stir in the lemon juice and season. Sprinkle with fresh coriander before serving.
1 Tbsp oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 C vegetable stock
750g sweet potato, peeled and diced
250g mushrooms, sliced
400ml coconut milk
225g baby spinach
juice of lemon
fresh coriander
Place cornflour in a medium jug. Gradually add stock, soy sauce and wine and stir to combine. Heat the peanut oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Add half the tofu and gently stir-fry for 2 minutes or until lightly golden. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining tofu.
Heat the sesame oil in the wok until smoking. Add the asparagus and sugar snap peas and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute or until asparagus is bright green and tender crisp. Add the chicken stock mixture and tofu and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens. Remove from heat.
Spoon the rice among serving bowls. Top with green onion and serve immediately with steamed rice.
Tips on Dealing with Uninformed Eaters
Let’s face it, uninformed is just a fancy college word for ignorant. But whatever you call it, the fact still remains that I live in the heart of beef-land America, home of the “worlds best” burger, the most bar-b-q restaurants per capita of any city in the nation, and about 150,000 people who think the word vegan is something that has to be treated by antibiotics after a visit to the OB/GYN. Needless to say that I regularly come into contact with more than my fair share of less-than-educated eaters. So, what is a man to do when he is told he by someone wearing a handlebar milk mustache that he is not eating the way God intended? Or what words should come out of my mouth each time the McNugget mom tells me that I am too hard on my kids? Well, I’m not sure I have an answer.
I am not one for confrontation. In the state where there are as many guns as there are hormone-riddled cattle, I tend to tap the brakes on telling everyone that they are on the fast track to a Kentucky-fried funeral. But do we let ignorance go uncorrected? Do we grab the wheel of the bus of misinformation like Officer Jack Traven and try to steer it back to safety?
So I will do what most tend to do these days. I will fill myself with keyboard bravery (comments without consequence) and shoot from the hip in response to the 5 dumbest comments I get about food. Then, just for good measure, I will add what I should probably say in real life.
