This offbeat chili is a pleasant introduction to whole hominy, if you’ve never tried it before. Hominy results from soaking corn kernels until the hulls come off. You’ll find canned hominy shelved near other canned corn products on supermarket shelves.
I tried this recipe which appeared in a recent issue of Sunset magazine, changing it to make it vegan and using vegetable broth for sautéing instead of oil. It was so delicious that there wasn’t a scrap left over and my husband couldn’t stop praising the dish. I was able to find baby canned artichoke hearts which are especially tender.
Chayote, a gourdlike fruit also known as mirliton, has a mild flavor and texture similar to summer squash and does not have to be peeled. Kabocha is a medium-sized, flattened-turban-shaped squash with a rough skin that ranges in color from jade green to tan. You can substitute whatever squash you can find…the recipe is great with anything!
When I first became a vegetarian many years ago, one of the first recipes I adapted was my mother’s beef stew. Back then I used tempeh and browned it in oil. But once I discovered TVP chunks, I liked them even better. This stew is super low in fat and a complete meal in itself!
Bean and vegetable stews are a common dish eaten throughout Greece. This flavorsome stew originates from the Greek island of Crete.
The fresh herbs really give the salad its pizzazz, so try to find some if you don’t grow your own.
This is a recipe I adapted from Robin Robertson’s Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker. This version is no longer cooked in a crockpot, and I’ve removed the oil and made some changes in how the ingredients are combined. The first time I made this, my husband pronounced it “one of the best things I’ve ever tasted”!
Zucchini is nutritious and this recipe makes it easy to make and extremely delicious.
