Zucchini "Meatballs"

zucchini

Kosher salt,

garlic,

c. basil

Egg, lightly beaten

c. panko breadcrumbs

c. Parmesan, divided

black pepper

olive oil

marinara sauce

Super easy and delicious. As a meat eater I enjoyed them a lot!

These zucchini meatballs are delicious......they came out great.......

Make smaller balls for more even cooking. I made them too big and the outside was crispy while the inside was still gooey. I gad to smash them to evenly cook. Still delicious.

These are easy to make and delicious! Just make sure you squeeze out as much liquid as possible or they will be to moist and fall apart easily.

These are awesome!  Most veggie meatballs fall apart but these didn’t.  A big hit in our mostly vegetarian household.

I guess I didn't squeeze mine enough, it was a slimy mess on the inside. Squeezing the zucchini is the most important part apparently yet the most vague in the video

What else would one serve with the balls?

Brothy Beans with Garlic Toast ~ yes beans and toast can be dinner, and a darned delicious one, at that, this is a healthy Mediterranean inspired meal!

Brothy Beans with Garlic Toast

beans

chicken stock

ginger

chili pepper

shallot, sliced in half lengthwise

bay leaves

thyme sprigs, tied

rosemary

saffron

Parmesan cheese rind

fresh chopped rosemary and thyme leaves

Parmesan,

sea salt

garlic cloves,

First soak or quick soak your dried beans ~ to quick soak, rinse your beans and add them to a pot.  Add cold water to cover the beans with several inches of water and bring to a boil.  Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let sit for an hour.  For regular soaking method, let your beans soak in cold water over night. Whichever method you choose, drain the soaked beans and return them to the pot.

Add the chicken stock and aromatics (garlic through Parm rind.)  Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 40 minutes, or just until the beans are tender.

While the beans are cooking fry the bread ~ liberally coat the bottom of a saute pan with olive oil and fry the bread on both sides until golden.  Rub the tops of the bread with the cut sides of the garlic, and season with sea salt.  Set aside.

Remove the aromatics from the bean pan.  Ladle some of the hot broth into the beaten egg to temper it, while whisking constantly.  After adding 2 or 3 ladles of the hot broth, pour the whole thing back into the beans and stir to combine.  Add the fresh herbs.

Put a slice or two of bread in the bottom of your bowl and top with the beans and broth.  Add grated Parm if you like.

A super flavorful spicy peanut tofu stir fry! The tofu is tossed in a homemade thai-style peanut sauce and is crispy without frying! I&#x27;m pan sautéing my tofu along with shiitake mushrooms and sliced onions. Serve it on a bed of brown rice, quinoa, or on it&#x27;s own!Ingredients

Spicy Peanut Tofu Stir Fry

block extra firm tofu

cornstarch

salt

oil (vegetable, canola, coconut)

½ cup sliced shiitake mushrooms (button or baby bellas work too)

white onions, large dice

EACH: minced garlic AND grated ginger

soy sauce (use GF tamari to make this gluten-free)

chili oil

sesame oil

peanut butter

lime juice

brown sugar

bok choy, crushed peanuts, red pepper flakes, and lime wedges

TOFU: Place a folded tea towel in the shape of the tofu on a plate. Place tofu in the prepared plate. Place another tea towel on top (in the shape of the tofu) followed by another plate and 2-28 ounce cans or anything that weight 2-3 pounds to help remove the water from the tofu. Or you can simply use a tofu press and tighten the wheels to help squeeze out the water over a plate. Let the tofu dry for at least 15-20 minutes and ideally, I like to let it go for an hour. Once dry, cut the tofu up into 1-inch cubes. Place the cornstarch, salt, and if desired, a pinch of chili powder into a zip top bag. Add the tofu, zip the bag and give it a toss so the tofu is coated with the cornstarch.

SAUCE: While the tofu is drying, prepare the...

SAUCE: While the tofu is drying, prepare the sauce. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or in a medium mason jar (with a lid). I prepared it in a jar and gave it a few good shakes until the ingredients mixed through. Set aside.

STIR FRY: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat pan. Add the cubed tofu to the pan and let fry for 3 minutes. Flipping the tofu as needed to ensure even browning on all sides. Add 3 tablespoons of the prepared sauce to the tofu and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. When the tofu is caramelized, remove to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoons of oil to the pan, turn the stove to high heat and add the shiitake mushrooms and onions to the pan. Cook the veggies for 3-4 minutes or to desired doneness. Add the tofu back into the skillet, turn the stove off. Drizzle in the peanut sauce and toss to coat. Remove stir fry to a serving dish.

SERVE: Serve warm with rice, quinoa, or on...

SERVE: Serve warm with rice, quinoa, or on it's own. Top with crushed peanuts, red pepper flakes and lime wedges. Serve with grilled bok choy is desired. The tofu will lose a bit of the crispness as it sits. But the flavors intensify and the stir fry tastes even better the next day!

Sauté the red bell pepper until tender. Add the eggplant and jackfruit into the skillet with the red bell pepper.

Mix in the green curry paste, salt, sugar, and ground turmeric. Once incorporated, add the coconut milk 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together.

Ricardo's recipe: Sweet Potato and Tofu Patties

Sweet Potato and Tofu Patties

(250 g) sweet potatoes, peeled and grated

oz g) firm tofu,

(120 g) feta cheese, crumbled

eggs, lightly beaten

cup g) unbleached all-purpose flour

2 onions, chopped

cup g) cilantro, finely chopped

coriander seeds

cayenne pepper

tbsp ml) vegetable oil

cup ml) tzatziki sauce

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper. 

In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook a few patties at a time in the oil, using ¼ cup (60 ml) of the mixture for each, and flattening them as they cook. Brown on both sides, then drain on paper towels before placing on the baking sheet. 

Bake for 10 minutes or until cooked through. 

Patties

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tzatziki and mint. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the patties hot or at room temperature with the sauce and, if desired, a green salad.

Sauce

I am not crazy about tofu as it is OGM I would switch 
to chickpeas or lentils healthier.

Hello, can you freeze these? Or eat them cold? Thinking of school lunch boxes....

Keeping Herbs Fresh

Grilled to perfection, these Beyond Meat Burritos are filled with cilantro lime rice, black beans, salsa, cheddar, and of course, Beyond Meat!

Beyond Meat Grilled Burritos

rice

butter

cilantro (minced)

lime juice (freshly squeezed)

oz Beyond Meat Beef Crumbles

14 oz can black beans (drained)

cheddar cheese

Tbsp salsa

Tortillas (Extra Large Burrito size

Guacamole

Sour Cream

Lettuce

Salsa

Cook the rice according to package instructions, or cook in your rice cooker.  (I cook mine in the rice cooker.)

Cook the rice

While the rice cooks, make the Beyond Meat Beef Crumbles.

Add the crumbles, salt, and olive oil to a frying pan, and cook on medium heat until warm and slightly browned, about 10-15 minutes.  Taste, and add additional salt if needed.

While the crumbles and rice cook, you can drain the black beans and grate the cheddar.

Make the Beyond Meat/meat substitute

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Once the rice is done (and still warm!) transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Add the butter/Earth Balance, olive oil, salt (start with ½ tsp, you can add more later if needed), cilantro, and 1 Tbsp lime juice.

Mix until everything is completely incorporated, the butter/Earth Balance cubes have melted, and the cilantro is evenly distributed.

Taste, and add the remaining ¼ tsp salt and the additional Tbsp of lime juice if desired.

Season the rice

Grease a 9x9 pan.  Spread the rice in the bottom of the pan.  Use an offset spatula to get the rice even and level.

Now spread the meat substitute evenly over the rice.

Next, dollup the salsa evenly over the morning star crumbles by the tablespoon.  Use your offset spatula to spread the salsa out.  Don’t worry if the salsa does not spread completely evenly.  The salsa definitely won’t touch every square inch of the surface and that is ok!  The flavor really carries and a little bit goes a long way!

Now spread the drained black beans out in an even layer on top of the salsa.

Last, sprinkle the cheddar/vegan cheddar over the black beans.

Bake the casserole, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, until the cheese has melted and every layer is warmed through.

Let the casserole cool for 15 minutes.  At this point, you can enjoy the casserole as is, or use it as a filling in grilled burritoes!

Layer the casserole

Place a generous amount of the casserole filling inside a tortilla, trying to maintain the casserole layers so that each bite of the burrito will have something from each layer.  Fold the tortilla up into a burrito.  (Allowing the casserole to cool for 15 minutes before compiling the burritos will help you maintain the layers as you transfer the filling to the tortilla.)

Heat a few Tbsps of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until the oil is warm, about 1 minute, and add the burrito to the skillet.

Grill/fry over medium heat until the tortilla side that is face down in the skillet turns golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Grill the burritos
