Quick BBQ Tofu Salad

This is a salad of awesome: bbq tofu, mushrooms, broccoli, black beans, greens, guacamole!

For the tofu:
1/2 block firm tofu (we use sprouted tofu), cubed
8 oz mushrooms, quartered
1 tsp chipotle chili powder
3 TBL ketchup
2 TBL apple cider vinegar
1 TBL Braggs or soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp olive oil

Heat olive oil in a dutch oven, saute tofu until golden on all sides. Add mushrooms, cook 1-2 more minutes. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Cook about 10 minutes on low until the tofu absorbs most of the sauce.

Taco Salad Night

Black beans, arugula and spinach, corn, radishes, mushrooms, green onions, salsa fresca, guacamole, and baked tortilla chips. You’re welcome!

The Everything Taco

Homemade refried beans; sauteed broccoli, red pepper, mushrooms; guacamole, and salsa fresca. Serve it on a lettuce leaf on top of the tortilla. YUM.

The Guaco

We made the black beans in our fuckyeah pressure cooker! Then we cooked them with onion, a little cumin, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne, until they were creamy, dreamy. Topped with guacamole, this taco doesn’t mess around.

Best Black Bean Soup EVER

We’ve probably said this before, but this time we mean it. This soup is the best! And to be smug, we made it with our own homemade beans, which we made in the pressure cooker. The only things we changed about this recipe was to add in 2 bay leaves, omit the cornstarch, and used about 4 cups of black beans instead of 2 cans.

Top this with a little smoked salt and fresh guacamole (avocado, shallot, lemon juice, tomatoes, salt and pepper).

The end.

Channa Masala Tacos with Green Onion Chutney

We blended up the channa masala for the filling, then topped these with green onion and cilantro chutney and a nice scoop of guacamole.

Wasabi arugula and padron peppers

We found this unusual lettuce at Trader Joe’s. And like wasabi, it has a spicy kick to it. It was very tasty with our CSA padron peppers and black beans with red onion, mango, and fresh CSA corn.

Raw Mexican rice

Made with parsnips!

2 medium parsnips
1/2 cup cilantro
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
1 TBL olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder or 1 clove garlic
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp turmeric
Salt to taste

In the food processor, blend together all ingredients EXCEPT the parsnips and salt. Remove the dressing and set aside. Cut parsnips into pieces that will fit in the food processor. Pulse until the texture looks like fluffy rice. Combine parsnips with tomato dressing. Add salt to taste and more olive oil if needed.

Serve with with guacamole and beans!
