Silken tofu! You can blend it into like your tomato sauce for a pasta and shit like that.

Also take a look at indian cuisine, there's a lot that is just naturally vegan 🤷🏼‍♂️

Roasted edamame snacks are also supreme

I’ve never tried silken tofu but I’ve always wanted to, I can just never seem to find it in the stores I usually frequent. I’ll have to look harder for it! I do love indian food, and when I have the spoons I like to make a basic curry and look at different recipes from different parts of the country. Edamame is super tasty.

MINUTAL MATIANUM (ROMAN PORK WITH APPLES, 1st c.)

It's a been a tougher week than usual - my husband broke his leg and had surgery, and I'm dealing with some dental pain - but amongst it all, I thought it would be a good idea to treat ourselves with a Tasting History dish that is especially hearty and comforting: Minutal Matianum (Roman Pork with Apples). From the quintessential Roman source by Apicius from the 1st c., De Re Coquinaria, this meat dish is made using ingredients that would have been available to Roman soldiers in Britain, near forts in the area of Hadrian's Wall. This hearty dish was probably closer to what the officers of the Roman army would have eaten rather than the foot soldiers, however. I decided to make this dish because my husband and I have enjoyed most of the Roman recipes I've made so far, and Max exclaimed this was the best Roman dish even he had made so far. We hope this dish provides us with the fortitude of a Roman soldier on the frontiers! See Max’s video on how to make the dish here or see the ingredients and process at the end of this post, sourced from his website.

My experience making it:

As usual for me with Roman recipes, I struggled to compile all of the specific listed ingredients, but I did my best! I sourced a pork shoulder from our local butcher, and for the ground meat, I used a mix of 60% beef and 40% pork (a very common mixture here in Germany). For the pork roast rub, I used oil, a bit of salt, lots of pepper, and a tablespoon and a half of linden tree blossom honey. For the meatballs, I didn't use any egg to bind them, as I didn't have any on hand. Instead of garum, I used an Asian fish sauce (which Max suggests as a substitute). For the apples, I used some sweet Pink Lady apples (which I definitely snacked on while I was cooking). Instead of the long pepper Max used, I used the tablespoon of peppercorns. I decided to omit the asafoetida completely, as I couldn't find it at 4 different supermarkets, including the bio-supermarket and the Turkish supermarket. I've recently learned that I should look instead at an Indian supermarket, so now I'm on the hunt for one! I reduced grape juice myself to make defrutum, as Saba seems a little expensive. Instead of starch/cornflour, I used regular white flour, since I think they would function fairly similarly.

First, I set out making the rub for the pork roast. Nice and simple with olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey, I loved that I could customize this part to my tastes (give me that sharp pepper taste!). Next, because I didn't have a roasting rack, I made one myself out of tin foil by taking a large sheet, rolling it into a snake shape, and curving it into a zig-zag pattern on top of a layer of tinfoil at the bottom of my pan. It fit the pork perfectly, and then I added the rub and tossed it in the oven. My pork shoulder was just over 2 pounds, so I roasted it for just over 2 hours. While it was cooking, I rolled my meatballs (sans egg), ground my spices for the sauce in the mortar and pestle (which took awhile), and chopped and portioned the ingredients for the next steps. When the pork was almost done cooking, I began cooking the meatballs in olive oil, also adding in the leeks. I added in the chicken stock and garum, stirring to get any bits from the bottom to release their flavour.

While this cooked on the stovetop, the pork roast was ready to take out of the oven. It looked wonderful and smelled delicious! I let it sit for a little bit, then chopped it into cubes and added them to the pot with the meatballs. I added in the cilantro, then a little bit more chicken stock so the pork and meatballs were 3/4 submerged and sizzling nicely in the juices. I simmered it for 15 minutes, then added the apple chunks. I simmered it further, but for less than the 20 minutes in the recipe (more like 15). I portioned the meat and apples into our serving bowls to cool a little while I prepared the quick sauce, being sure to leave some of the juices in order to provide the base to the sauce. I added the juices, defrutum, white wine vinegar, garum, and honey to a pot, added the crushed spices/herbs, and brought it to a light boil, stirring often. I made a roux with some flour by mixing a bit of water into it, then added it to my sauce to thicken it. By the looks of it, I think I ended up thickening it a decent amount more than Max did, but I like a thicker sauce, so I wasn't too upset about that. I took it off the heat once it was combined and thickened, and drizzled it over the pork, meatballs, and apples. It looked absolutely scrumptious - the sauce added a nice silky shine to the meat, the leeks added a pretty green, the peppercorns some texture, and the apples a beautiful yellow and red pop of colour. I served the Minutal Matianum with a side Greek Salad to balance the heaviness of the meat.

My experience tasting it:

I made sure my first bite was with pork, apple, and some sauce - it was very tasty! The pork was tender enough, but I might have overcooked it just a little. Luckily, the tougher, hearty texture was balanced by the crisp and light flavour of the apple and the acidity, sweetness, spice-infused, and herbed flavour of the silky gravy-like sauce. Like Max mentioned, the sauce first tastes a bit sour due to the vinegar, but it melts into a sweetness from the defrutum and honey. It is still a very 'Roman' flavour of sauce - I could taste hints of the previous Roman sauces I have made in other dishes in this one, but this one was more like a gravy, and maybe more in line with the modern palate. In terms of herbs and spices, I found that peppercorn and cilantro were the most forward in the sauce - the mint and cumin were just barely there. I decided to make my next bite a meatball with some sauce, apple and leek: an absolute winning combo! I don't always have time to make a pork roast, so I can't see myself making Minutal Matianum often in its complete form, but I will most certainly make the sauce with apples and meatballs again in the future. Like Max, my husband and I both agreed this is our favourite of the Roman dishes I've made so far. This is a great meal for late fall/early winter, and I will probably make it again as the weather gets colder this fall. If you end up making this dish, if you liked it, or if you changed anything from the original recipe, do let me know!

Modern Recipe

Based on De Re Coquinaria by Apicius (1st c.) and Max Miller’s version in his Tasting History video.

Ingredients:

Roasted Pork

Pork shoulder

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Honey

Pork and Apples

1 tbsp olive oil

3/4 lb (340g) ground pork or beef, shaped into 1” balls

1 cup chopped leek

1 cup (235ml) chicken stock, plus extra as needed

2 teaspoons garum*

Small handful chopped cilantro

1 lb (450g) roasted pork, cut into cubes

1 lb (450g) sweet apples, cored and cut into about 1” pieces

Sauce

1 tsp cumin

2 tsp chopped cilantro

1 tbsp coriander seeds

2 tsp chopped mint

4 long peppers or 1 tbsp of peppercorns

1/2 tsp asafoetida

1/4 cup (60ml) white wine vinegar

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp garum*

1/4 cup (60ml) defrutum**

1/4 cup (60ml) cooking liquid from the pork and apples

2 tsp starch or cornflour

*Garum was a fermented fish sauce that was used in a lot of ancient Roman cooking. You can buy a modern equivalent or use an Asian fish sauce.

**Defrutum was a 1/3 reduction of grape must. Today, Saba is pretty much the same thing. It can be expensive, so you can reduce some grape juice instead.

Method:

For the roasted pork: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with foil, then place a roasting rack on top of it.

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey. There should be enough to coat the pork roast. Adjust the amounts to your liking.

Brush the olive oil mixture onto the pork, then roast for 15 minutes.

Lower the temperature to 275°F (135°C) and cook for about an hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).

For the pork and apples: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the meatballs and leeks and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they start to brown.

Deglaze the pot with the chicken stock and garum. Toss in the cilantro and roasted pork. Add enough additional chicken stock so that it covers the bottom of the pot.

Simmer for 15 minutes, adding more stock if necessary.

Add the apples, then cook for another 20 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked.

For the sauce: Grind the spices and herbs with a mortar and pestle, then put them in a saucepan with the liquid ingredients. Stir together and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Mix the starch with a little water, then add it to the sauce. Simmer for a couple of minutes until it thickens.

To serve: Dish the pork and apples into a bowl, drizzle with the sauce, and serve it forth.

IT ME- YA BOI- AGAIN!:D

Anyway.

For your TWST ocs, what do you feel would be their favorite snacks? EXCLUDING HUMANS. Like do they have a quick or filling comfort snack or meal after a long day or maybe when they’re down?

Well, in the case of three of my six canon pred OCs, humans actually ARE their favorite snack or meal, although I don't necessarily know if they count as "comfort food" for any of them. XD For Billy, I think his favorite type of treat would be chocolate. In terms of a full meal...he has a family recipe for a chocolate-glazed pot roast that he finds absolutely delicious (as well as massively fattening). That's not really a snack, because obviously it's something that takes time to make, but it is a meal he loves making from time to time. Chocolate, in general, however, is definitely something he enjoys. He also likes marshmallows, which...given how squishy he is, that seems only fitting. Ha ha. For Nakoda, he likes sweet breads, pastries, and pudding. As I said in an Ask a while back, his "comfort breakfast" is a dish called Puri, which is an Indian staple that consists of light, airy sweet bread served WITH pudding. When he can't get that, he just likes that kind of stuff in general. It's light, sweet, and simple. Elias LOVES bacon. He will buy packs of pre-made bacon strips, and just...have those, the way a person might eat sticks of jerky or something. He's a dog boy, after all, and we all know how dogs get over "Beggin' Strips." ;) Reno is a junk food addict. He loves cheeseburgers, fries, potato chips, onion rings, all that stuff. He likes sweet things too, especially mellowcreme candies (such as candy corn or mellowcreme pumpkins), but he's happiest with food that is thick, juicy, savory, and more than a bit greasy. Also drinks a LOT of soda. James I don't think DOES comfort food. Not in the TYPICAL way, anyhow. There's nothing he considers truly "comforting" that he can just...sort of buy at the store really quick or whip up in a few minutes. About the closest thing that probably comes close is good old bread-and-butter with jelly. He does, however, very much like seafood, and also poultry-based dishes, of various sorts. (Much like Ace, though, he isn't a fan of oysters.) Speaking of seafood, this is also a favorite for Smitty and Maelstrom. Smitty's "comfort food" is fishsticks: while he does like more "sophisticated" forms of fish-based cuisine, fishsticks are something of a childhood favorite, hence why I classify them, for him, as "comfort food." Maelstrom prefers sushi, sashimi, and ESPECIALLY kalimari, although it's hard to say if that last one qualifies as typical "comfort snack" type stuff. Theodore has a sweet tooth. He particularly loves hard candies, such as lollipops and gobstoppers, as well as red licorice, and a few forms of sweet bread, such as gingerbread. It's something a lot of people don't expect when they first meet him, but he REALLY enjoys sweet and sugary stuff. It's a combo of a fast metabolism and him keeping himself decently in shape that prevents him from gaining about a billion tons of weight. XD Finally, Grit has a love for lime creme pie and hot cocoa. This is actually a reference to "Return to Oz," where the Nome King - his inspiration - dines on "Limestone Pie and Hot Melted Silver" in front of Dorothy and her friends. Since Grit is only HALF Nome, I figure he'd prefer the more human-friendly version of the same. XD In-canon, the reason he loves these so much is because of his Mom. No one makes them the way she does, but he loves them even when they are "inferior copies." Ha Ha.

The layers of spiced rice, along with the vegetables, make biryani a complete dish on its own, though it can also be served with a side of cooling cucumber raita (which can be made vegan by using plant-based yogurt). If you're in the mood for a fragrant, filling meal, vegetable biryani is a perfect vegan dish to try.

Samosas

Samosas are one of the most beloved street foods in India, and the vegan version is just as delicious. These crispy, golden pastries are typically filled with a spicy mixture of potatoes, peas, and onions, along with a range of spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. The filling is perfectly spiced, and the crunchy pastry shell adds a delightful texture contrast.

Samosas are perfect as a snack or starter and are commonly served with a variety of chutneys, including mint and tamarind, which complement the spicy filling. If you're in the mood for something crispy and flavourful, samosas are a great vegan choice and are available at many Indian restaurants in Norwest.

Vegan Mango Lassi

Lassi is a traditional Indian drink made from yogurt, and the mango version is a sweet, creamy treat. For a vegan alternative, many Indian restaurants use plant-based yogurt (like coconut or almond) to create a dairy-free mango lassi that's just as rich and indulgent. The natural sweetness of ripe mangoes combines with the creamy texture of plant-based yogurt to create a refreshing and satisfying drink.

If you're looking for something to complement your vegan meal, a chilled mango lassi is a great choice.

In summary, Indian cuisine offers a wealth of delicious vegan options, from hearty curries to fresh snacks and beverages. Whether you're craving a rich chickpea curry, a smoky eggplant dish, or a comforting dal, there's no shortage of vegan delights to try. While making sure your meal is completely vegan-friendly, the Indian restaurants Norwest provide a range of plant-based cuisine that captures the essence of Indian spices. So, next time you're looking to enjoy a satisfying and flavourful vegan meal, explore the many vegan options available at Indian restaurants—you won't be disappointed!

Khakhra as a Healthy Snack: Why It’s a Great Choice

In a world where snacking habits are often associated with unhealthy and processed foods, Gujarati Khakhra stands out as a wholesome and nutritious option. Originating from the Indian state of Gujarat khakhra is a thin, crispy flatbread made primarily from whole wheat flour and roasted to perfection. It has gained popularity as a healthy snack, not just in India but across the globe. Here’s why Gujarati Khakhra makes for a great snacking choice, especially for those who prioritize nutrition without compromising on taste.

1. Low-Calorie and Weight Management-Friendly

One of the major reasons Gujarati Khakhra is often recommended as a healthy snack is its low-calorie content. Unlike fried snacks, khakhra is roasted, which significantly reduces its fat content while maintaining a crunchy texture. It is ideal for people who are watching their calorie intake or trying to lose weight. A standard serving of khakhra can be a satisfying snack without adding excess calories, making it perfect for weight management.

2. Rich in Fiber

Since khakhra is primarily made from whole wheat flour, it is a great source of dietary fiber. Fiber is essential for digestive health, and consuming adequate amounts can help prevent constipation, promote satiety, and regulate blood sugar levels. By choosing Gujarati Khakhra as a snack, you can increase your daily fiber intake, which can help keep you feeling fuller for longer and curb unhealthy cravings.

3. Source of Essential Nutrients

Gujarati Khakhra is more than just a crunchy treat; it is packed with essential nutrients that contribute to overall health. Depending on the ingredients used, khakhra can be a source of protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins. For example, some khakhra varieties incorporate lentils, fenugreek, or spinach, which further enhance their nutritional value. This makes khakhra a nutrient-dense snack compared to many processed alternatives.

4. Versatile and Customizable

Khakhra comes in a wide range of flavors and varieties, making it a versatile snack that can suit different tastes and dietary needs. From classic plain and masala khakhra to innovative options like methi (fenugreek), jeera (cumin), garlic, and even cheese-flavored khakhra, there is something for everyone. Additionally, you can enhance the taste and nutritional value of Gujarati Khakhra by pairing it with healthy dips, chutneys, or spreads like hummus and low-fat yogurt.

5. Long Shelf Life and Convenience

One of the key advantages of Gujarati Khakhra is its long shelf life. This makes it a convenient and reliable option for people with busy lifestyles. Unlike perishable snacks, khakhra can be stored for extended periods without losing its taste or texture, making it an excellent on-the-go snack for travel, work, or school. Its portability and durability make it a practical choice for individuals looking for healthy, ready-to-eat options.

6. Suitable for Various Diets

Gujarati Khakhra is often vegan-friendly and can easily be adapted to cater to various dietary preferences. Whether you’re on a vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free diet, there are khakhra varieties and recipes that can fit your specific needs. This makes khakhra a versatile snack option for individuals with different dietary restrictions.

7. Minimal Processing and Natural Ingredients

Unlike many commercial snacks loaded with artificial additives, preservatives, and excessive salt, Gujarati Khakhra is traditionally made with minimal processing and natural ingredients. The focus on wholesome and simple ingredients ensures that khakhra remains a healthy and clean eating option. Health-conscious individuals can enjoy it without worrying about hidden chemicals or unhealthy additives.

8. Promotes Portion Control

Khakhra’s thin and crispy nature makes it easy to control portions. Instead of mindlessly munching on calorie-laden snacks, you can break khakhra into pieces and enjoy it gradually, making it an excellent way to practice mindful eating. This feature is especially beneficial for those who tend to overeat or struggle with portion sizes when snacking.

Conclusion

Incorporating Gujarati Khakhra into your diet as a snack offers numerous health benefits without sacrificing taste or convenience. Its low-calorie content, high fiber, rich nutrient profile, and versatility make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a healthier snacking alternative. Whether you are managing your weight, looking for a convenient snack, or simply want to enjoy something tasty without guilt, khakhra is an excellent option that can fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. So, the next time you’re reaching for a snack, consider choosing Gujarati Khakhra and experience its satisfying crunch and wholesome goodness.

Protein-Rich Indian Vegetarian Foods for Daily Nutrition

For vegetarians in India, ensuring adequate protein intake can sometimes be a challenge, especially since many traditional Indian meals are rich in carbohydrates but may not provide enough protein. However, Indian cuisine is full of vegetarian ingredients that are excellent sources of plant-based protein. Incorporating protein-rich Indian veg food into your daily diet is essential for maintaining muscle mass, promoting healthy metabolic functions, and supporting overall health. Here’s a guide to some of the best protein-rich vegetarian foods in Indian cuisine that can boost your daily nutrition.

1. Lentils and Legumes (Dal)

Lentils, commonly referred to as dal, are staples in Indian cuisine and are among the best sources of plant-based protein. Lentils like moong, masoor, urad, and toor dal are rich in protein and fiber, making them essential for a balanced diet. A single serving of cooked lentils (about 100 grams) provides approximately 9 grams of protein. Lentils are also low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates, which help in maintaining energy levels throughout the day.

Dal is an incredibly versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways—whether as a simple dal curry, dal fry, or paired with rice or roti. Including lentils in your diet regularly ensures a steady intake of essential amino acids, contributing to overall protein intake.

2. Chickpeas (Chana)

Chickpeas, or chana, are another powerhouse of protein-rich Indian veg food. Both black chickpeas (kala chana) and white chickpeas (kabuli chana) are high in protein, providing about 19 grams of protein per 100 grams. Chickpeas are also loaded with fiber, iron, and other vital nutrients, making them a nutritional boon for vegetarians.

Popular dishes like chana masala or chole offer a delicious way to consume chickpeas, and they can also be added to salads, made into hummus, or roasted as a crunchy snack. These dishes are easy to prepare and can be enjoyed as part of a balanced meal.

3. Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese)

Paneer is a favorite ingredient in Indian vegetarian cuisine and a fantastic source of protein. It is especially beneficial for those looking for a dairy-based protein option. One hundred grams of paneer contains around 18 grams of protein, making it one of the highest protein-rich vegetarian options.

Paneer can be cooked in a variety of ways, including in curries like palak paneer or matar paneer, grilled as tikka, or even scrambled for a quick snack. It’s an excellent addition to a high-protein diet, especially for those who are trying to build muscle or maintain a healthy weight.

4. Quinoa

Although not traditionally Indian, quinoa has become a popular addition to the Indian vegetarian diet due to its high protein content. Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that the body needs. A 100-gram serving of cooked quinoa provides about 4 grams of protein.

Quinoa can easily be incorporated into Indian meals as a substitute for rice, added to salads, or used in pulao and upma recipes. Its versatility and high protein content make it a valuable addition to the list of protein-rich Indian veg food.

5. Soya Products

Soybeans and soy-based products like tofu and soy chunks are excellent sources of protein for vegetarians. Soy chunks, in particular, contain around 52 grams of protein per 100 grams, making them one of the richest sources of plant-based protein available.

Soya is highly versatile and can be added to curries, stir-fries, or even kebabs. Tofu, which is sometimes referred to as bean curd, can be used as a substitute for paneer in various dishes and provides about 8 grams of protein per 100 grams.

6. Green Peas

Green peas (matar) are another great addition to a protein-rich vegetarian diet. Peas provide around 5 grams of protein per 100 grams and are also rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Green peas are commonly used in Indian dishes like matar paneer, aloo matar, and pulao.

Not only do green peas enhance the flavor and texture of dishes, but they also add a boost of protein that can help meet daily nutritional requirements.

7. Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are dense sources of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. While they may not be consumed in large quantities like other protein-rich foods, they are an excellent supplement to the diet.

Sprinkle them over salads, yogurt, or include them in smoothies for a quick and easy protein boost. Chia seeds, for instance, provide about 17 grams of protein per 100 grams, making them a perfect addition to any vegetarian diet.

Conclusion

Incorporating protein-rich Indian veg food into your daily meals is easier than you might think. With a variety of lentils, legumes, dairy products like paneer, and protein-packed ingredients such as chickpeas, soy products, and quinoa, Indian cuisine offers an abundance of vegetarian options to meet your protein needs. By focusing on a balanced diet rich in plant-based protein, you can ensure that you maintain your health and energy levels, even on a vegetarian diet.

Indian Spices

Bavanemasala, a rich and aromatic spice blend, holds a significant place in Indian cuisine. Known for its complex flavor profile and versatility, it serves as a defining element in various regional dishes. The term "bavanemasala" translates to "the blend of fifty-two spices," although the actual number may vary depending on regional adaptations and personal preferences.

The origins of bavanemasala can be traced back to traditional Indian kitchens, where it was meticulously crafted by home cooks and chefs alike. Its foundational ingredients often include roasted cumin, coriander, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom, among others. This combination not only enhances the taste but also contributes to the dish's overall aroma, creating a sensory experience that is quintessentially Indian.

Bavanemasala is particularly celebrated for its role in curries, rice dishes, and even snacks, thereby showcasing its versatility. It is often used to marinate meats, lend depth to vegetarian dishes, or enrich lentil preparations. The careful balance of spices ensures that the flavor is neither overpowering nor insipid, thus highlighting the natural ingredients in the dish.

Moreover, the preparation of bavanemasala is an art form in itself, often passed down through generations. Each family may have its own secret recipe, which fosters a sense of identity and belonging within the culinary landscape of India. The process typically involves dry roasting the spices before grinding them into a fine powder, which not only intensifies their flavors but also preserves their essential oils.

In conclusion, bavanemasala is more than just a spice blend; it embodies the rich culinary traditions of India. Its unique amalgamation of flavors and versatility in application make it a cherished component of Indian cooking. As global interest in Indian cuisine continues to rise, bavanemasala stands as a testament to the depth and diversity of flavors that Indian food has to offer.
