Fresh Veggie Stir Fry in Garlic Ginger Sauce

Chop:

  • Baby Bok Choy (separate the leafy part from the stalky end)
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups broccoli
Other ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 TB soy sauce
  • 1 TB dried ginger (use 2 TB freshly grated if you have it)
  • 1 TB toasted sesame oil
In a wok, add the stalky part of the chopped baby bok choy. As the wok heats, add the water. Next add the peppers and cook a few minutes before adding the soy sauce and ginger. Then, add the garlic and cook another minute before adding the leafy part of the baby bok choy. Finally, add the broccoli and cook 2 more minutes and you are done. Remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil.
(this dish is excellent with farmer’s market, fresh, organic veggies. I usually try to add more flavors when using store-bought or frozen veggies)

Asian Marinated Broccoli

Simply delicious. I usually only buy broccoli in the summer when it is available freshly picked at the farmer’s market.

Mix 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes (I prefer to use Aleppo pepper available at www.savoryspiceshop.com.
Toss with 2 cups of raw, rinsed broccoli. Allow it to marinate for 30 minutes and serve.

Vegan Black and Cannellini Bean Patties

These patties were a spontaneous creation, and they turned out great. They are very fast and easy, and don’t have any extra ingredients like you’ll find in pre-made, frozen veggie patties.
Ingredients:
  • 1 can Black Beans
  • 1 can Cannellini Beans
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • Sea Salt
  • fresh ground Black Pepper
  • Cumin
  • Coriander
  • Cayenne
  • Veggie Broth
  • Yellow Corn Meal
  • Olive Oil
In a food processor, on pulse mode, combine the 2 cans of beans, onion, and garlic. Mash it up until most is mushy, but you can still see some evidence of whole beans. Transfer to a large bowl, and add some salt, pepper, 1/2 tablespoon or so of ground cumin, a pinch of ground
coriander, a little cayenne, a splash of veggie broth to moisten it (there is no egg to hold the mixture together), 1/4 cup of corn meal, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix this well.
Heat up a skillet as if you were making pancakes. Make golfball size balls of the bean mixture and press into patties. Pan fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve with Sweet Feta Sauce.
