Recipes to come as I get them!
Mmmm. Mangos. Recipe here.
This is very bad for you, dead easy to make, and super-tasty. The recipe is Southern Fried Vegetarian "Chicken" by Jolina Hackett, from Your Guide to Vegetarian Food. Given the amount of soy that KFC puts in their chicken, I don't think it really tastes that different from the meat stuff.
What you need
* 1 tsp salt or seasoned salt
* 1 tsp onion powder
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp black pepper
* dash cayenne (optional; I used more than a dash, of course)
* 1 1/2 cups flour
* 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional; I didn't have any and it turned out just fine)
* 1/4 cup prepared mustard
* 2 tbsp baking powder
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 lb seitan or other chicken substitute, cut into 1-2" square pieces (I used the stuff you get from King's Café)
* oil for frying
What you do
In a medium to large bowl, mix together the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, flour, black pepper, cayenne and nutritional yeast.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mustard and water. Add 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the mustard mixture and combine well.
Add baking powder to the flour mixture and combine well.
Coat pieces of seitan or mock chicken with the mustard batter, then coat each piece with the dry flour mixture.
Fry chunks of "chicken" in the oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet for 3-5 minutes, turning once until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel, serve with ketchup or BBQ sauce and enjoy! (I served with hot sauce.)
Tip: If your chunks are turning brown or black rather than a crispy golden brown, your oil is probably too hot! Reduce the heat a small amount and try again.
Finger lickin' good.
Aromatic lentils live up to their name. They smell delicious and taste even better.
Raspberry-oatmeal muffins, I think? Someone brought them to the party the other night.
Cherry pie!
Strawberry pie! P.S. We now have a ton of strawberries because everyone went on separate Ontario strawberry quests. Oh noes, whatever shall we do?
