creamy vegan rice pudding

[ms-demeanor]

I remember you posting about freezing avocados back when your MIL ripped out the trees. What do you do/make with frozen avocado?

Thankfully she kept that tree, she just trimmed off a whole bunch of branches all at once so we had hundreds of ripening avocados. She actually gave us a bag of avocados a couple weeks ago that are finally ripening (they taste so good, I'm glad she didn't rip out that tree and the lemon tree).

If you're storing just frozen plain avocado, the texture and color get a little weird when it thaws so it's not ideal for stuff like guacamole, but it can work well for pudding (and I know there are many vegan recipes for avocado pudding out there; I haven't tried them personally so I don't have one to recommend). Avocado bread can be a good option for this thawed stuff too. And being real, even though the texture isn't *ideal* for guacamole and it can oxidize and turn brown, I will totally make guacamole for myself out of frozen avocados, it's just not a dish i would serve to guests or take to a potluck. (guacamole is great on chips but I also like it on the easy summer work lunch that I make, which is black beans, steamed broccoli, and rice mixed with salsa)

But mostly I put frozen avocado in smoothies. I like it in smoothies with frozen banana, spinach, and berries blended with almond milk and fruit juice. It's especially good if you're looking to add some creaminess to a vegan smoothie and aren't using dairy.

Dairy Free Kheer by Sheniz

We are days away from the book launch of "Cooking Up Feminism" and right in the midst of welcoming Spring with Nowruz (Persian New Year) and Ramzan | Ramadan, 2023. Let's celebrate with a beautiful bowl of Kheer. I invited Nature Artist and Poet, Sheniz Janmohamed - who has guest-facilitated for "Cooking Up Feminism" - to submit her dairy-free recipe of this beloved sweet dish, enjoyed in a variety of unique ways in countries across South Asia.

When I was growing up, kheer (Indian rice pudding) was my favourite dessert. While it wasn’t a dessert we made at home, it was one I always ordered when we went out for special meals or occasions. There was something about the first spoonful of rich, creamy kheer that enlivened all my senses and awakened the nostalgia of my ancestral homeland— India. When I switched over to non-dairy alternatives, I missed the familiarity and decadence of kheer. It was during one of the silent retreats with my Teacher that I was introduced to a healthier, vegan version of rice pudding, singing with notes of cinnamon.

Dairy Free Kheer by Sheniz

During the pandemic, I’d make myself warm bowls of kheer, sit by the window and watch chickadees flit about the trees. It was a small comfort on long, dark days of uncertainty. It brought me back home, and hugged me in the reminder that even though I felt alone, I wasn’t. I had the recipes of my ancestors and teachers at my very fingertips. ~ Sheniz

Ingredients:

1 cup of basmati rice 1 cup of unsweetened oat milk 2-3 tbs of honey or agave syrup 1 tsp of vanilla extract 3-5 stems of saffron 1 tbs of cardamom powder 1 tbs of rosewater A sprinkle of cinnamon A sprinkle of nutmeg

Garnish:

2 tsps of slivered almonds or pistachios 1 tsp of edible rose petals

Steps:

Soak a cup of basmati rice for about 10 minutes. Rinse it of stones and husks.

Boil rice and strain, setting aside for later.

Heat a cup of oat milk in a pot on medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Swirl in 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup. Add according to your sweet tooth :)

Scatter in 3 - 5 stems of saffron and stir until the mixture turns a pale golden hue.

Add in 1 tablespoon of cardamom powder.

Sprinkle in cinnamon and nutmeg.

Swirl in a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Add rice and lower temperature to medium.

Stir gently until it achieves the consistency and taste you like— you can add in more milk or hot water if you want it runnier.

Gently stir in one tablespoon of rosewater before garnishing— rosewater tends to get lost in cooking, so it’s best to add at the last stage before serving.

Garnish with crushed edible rose petals and nuts, then serve.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful, sweet recipe with our community, Sheniz! Stay tuned as we launch "Cooking Up Feminism" in book form on March 25th, 2023.

Gluten-free vegan Christmas cake The ingredients This recipe is comprised almost entirely of ingredients easily found in most well-stocked pantries or supermarkets. 160 g rice flour  90 g oat flour gluten-free 30 g cocoa 60 g flaxseeds powder substitute for 1 egg 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 80 ml coconut oil or other plant based oil 120 ml plant based milk 60 ml maple syrup or more 2 teaspoons lemon juice Vanilla flavour Morello cherry jam Raw vegan chocolate glaze: 125 ml melted cocoa butter 20 g cocoa Maple/dates syrup to taste Preparation Best of all, it’s a great ‘quick and easy’ all occasions cake that requires just a couple of bowls, a whisk, and optionally, a blender/ food processor if you’re making the frosting. While baking, your kitchen will smell like holiday. It smells and tastes fantastic, it’s moist, fluffy, soft, and can optionally be enjoyed with a creamy cashew-based pudding ‘frosting’ for added yumminess. In a large bowl, mix well all the ingredients provided for the cake; there is no need to follow a specific order. Mix well until a hard mixture is obtained. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 °C, and line a cake pan with baking paper, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake it in the oven for around 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean (a few crumbs are fine, but not wet). It is ready when it becomes elastic and firm to the touch. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling completely. Spread the cherry jam evenly over the cake, with a spatula. Prepare the raw vegan chocolate, mixing all the ingredients, whisk vigorously until lump-free, then pour it gently over the cooled cake, spread it evenly with a spatula, then transfer it to the freezer for 1 ½-2 hours, to set (or the refrigerator overnight). When ready, slice and enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmh74HrjfNk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Eating to lower A1C, maintain a healthy weight, and have glowing skin on a vegan diet

Fats. I put that on everything!

Lowering your A1C is much easier when you focus on protein, fiber, and mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Opt preferably for expeller/mechanically pressed, UNREFINED oils and fats. You want to avoid oxidative damage, and refining fats increases their oxidative properties, as well as reduces their health benefits.

Nuts are super nutrient dense, and have mostly fat (but cashews are the highest carb/most hydrated nut, as evidenced by their very creamy texture). Nuts are also excellent sources of protein, fiber, and micronutrients.

In studies, people who include nuts in their diets have lower BMIs. Caveat: fats have the most calories per serving. As long as you don't exceed your caloric requirements, go nuts on nuts and put fat in foods!

My Favorite Proteins:

🌱Almonds

🌱Cashews

🌱Mushrooms (Favorite shroom recipe: thinly chopped portobellos. Sauté garlic in a bit of avocado and a generous amount of toasted sesame oil. You want the avocado oil as it helps prevent sticking to the pan. Once the oil gets some browning of the garlic, add in minced ginger. You may need to add more avocado oil and toasted sesame oil, as you will want to cook a very large volume of shrooms, which love soaking up the oil, and shrink considerably in the cooking process. Usually, I buy a 5-pack of portobello caps and chop them very thinly myself. Or the pre-chopped and cut them thinner. Keep mixing the shrooms around in the oils. Once they are coated, add minced basil. Keep cooking until you get their juices free. Once soft/to desired texture, turn the heat up and keep mixing them around to cook the water off. Do a nice mild char on the mushrooms. Turn off heat and add just a small amount of Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze. Eat over black rice, farro, brown rice pasta, quinoa, whole wheat pasta, even on a vegetarian sandwhich!)

🌱Pecans

🌱Peanuts

🌱Pine nuts

🌱Pistachios

🌱Tofu (Preferably superfirm, as this texture has the highest amount of protein per serving.

Tofu scrambles are a good idea for on the go protein. Easier to use extra firm tofu for scrambles.)

🌱Walnuts (best nut for omega-3)

Try purchasing different cuts of nuts (I love Trader Joe's for nut shopping) softening slivered almonds, cashews, pine nuts, peanuts by placing them in a bowl of boiled water for 15 minutes or more, and add to stirfried vegetables, rice, gluten-free pastas, salads.

"Protein load." This is where you pair everything, including snacks, with a protein option.

Protein increases your response to insulin without raising your blood glucose. ⬅️ ✅️ This is what you want to do to help lower A1C.

Eat more seeds! But preferably GROUND and/or HULLED. Your body can't access the omega-3 inside the seed if it is not opened first. Good for regulation of bowel movements, though. 💩

Seeds are wicked nutrient dense, and also contain healthy polyunsaturated fats, PROTEIN, and fiber.

Fat, protein, and fiber are the nutrients you want to focus on to lower your A1C and maintain a healthy weight. These 3 nutrients slow how fast glucose is released into your bloodstream, and help you feel full! Poly fats are even BETTER than monos at lowering A1C, and they maintain brain health and skin integrity.

🌱Chia (Look into making chia seed "pudding," as the recipe is extremely versatile. I love it with soy-free vanilla flavored Silk, or Almond Breeze's chocolate almond beverage. NEVER eat them raw/without letting them take on fluid first if you want to eat them whole/unground, as they can absorb fluid in the GI tract and cause a blockage. 😱)

🌱Flax (I put this ground in almost all my smoothies, and in oatmeal. 1-2Tbsp at a time.)

🌱Hemp seeds (Whole Foods has hulled hemp seed. Looks weird, but nice in smoothies and oatmeal. You might even want to experiment with putting it in rice. 1Tbsp at a time, as these ones might make you go more. 💩 Great for constipation management, especially when paired with plenty of water and physical activity.)

🌱Sunflower KERNELS ONLY. NEVER eat the husks of sunflower seeds (probably any seed, honestly), as these are causal in phytobezoar formation. Every piece of evidence I have found on phytobezoars happened to involve ingestion of the husks of sunflower seeds. For eating more volume, I recommend unsalted sunflower kernels. They're good on salads.

Avoid baked goods, candy, sugar sweetened beverages, and opt for fruit instead. Even artificial sweeteners harm the microbiome. 🚫👎🏾🧫

Craving sweet? Use juices that have no added sugar, and preferably not from concentrate. Trader Joe's has a unique selection. Some of my go to smoothies that I pair with nuts for a busy day, and also add ground flax and/or hulled hemp seeds to:

Tropical smoothie ⛱️🌊:

🍎Pineapple juice (4oz)

🍏Mango juice (4oz)

🍎Kale

🍏Frozen banana

🍎A small apple (or 1/2 a medium)

🍏Ground flax and/or hulled hemp seed (1-2Tbsp of each)

Brain smoothie 🧠👁:

🫐Pomegranate juice (bitter, so cut with a sweeter fruit/aged frozen banana)

🍒Blueberries

🫐Blackberries

🍒Raspberries

🫐Banana

🍒Ground flax and/or hemp seed (1-2 Tbsp of each)

Juices. Eat a fat with these 100%, as fat will help you absorb the fat-soluble vitamins in beta-carotene-containing/fat-soluble-vitamin-containing fruits/produce, giving you that skin glow 💋:

🥕Carrots

🍊Oranges/clementines

🥕Mango (fresh blended mango, or the juice)

🍊Turmeric (fresh. For a single serving of juice, you don't need even a full shot worth of turmeric juice. It's *powerful* and may override the taste. You may even get away with just 1/4 shot turmeric juice per 16oz serving of juice. Add a tiny bit of ground black pepper to potentiate any added herbs or spices!)

🥕Lemon (1 lemon worth of juice or so per 16oz serving of juice)

I haven't tried this yet, but would love to juice a cantaloupe as well for this recipe.

OR, if you don't have a juicer/don't want to get one, TJ's has an awesome carrot turmeric juice that tastes really good!

Complex carbs I go for frequently, but try to limit to about 1/2-1cup serving size (about 2oz serving for pastas), and ALWAYS add Earth or Smart Balance to your complex carb. Smart Balance tastes more buttery than Earth Balance, so I would use less if you try it. Smart also has your fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K:

🌱Banza (more fiber here, so I sometimes eat half a box, especially on more active days. But chickpeas can be bloating, so careful with them. Drink a few cups of water beforehand.)

🍚Black rice

🥣Bob's Red Mill Organic Oats (I usually avoid regular oats/oatmeals. Glyphosate is generally recognized as safe, and is found in almost all oats. They use it to help release the oat during harvesting. Some people think glyphosate is harmful. Wouldn't suprise me if it is. Nutrigenomics is interesting, and what you eat even affects the expression of your genes, which differs by individual. Caveat: organic does not mean "pesticide free." If you want an oatMEAL using Bob's brand, grind the oats in a food processor before adding water, pop them in the microwave, or cook on the stovetop.)

🍚Brown rice

🍝Brown rice pasta

🍞Dave's Killer Bread (Try doing it with tofu scramble, and maybe even add the sautéed portobellos!)

🌾Farro

🥣Quinoa

🍝Whole wheat pasta (love this with Smart Balance, salt, minced basil)

Other protein sources, but these also have more carbs than nuts or tofu. Pair well with your complex carbs:

🌱Black beans (try doing a salsa salad with this. Add your choice of salsa and vegan cheese, pair with a Southwest style kale)

🌱Bush's Vegetarian Baked Beans

🌱Chickpeas (Bloat city, though! Eat more rarely. Pair with lots of water drinking before consuming to deal with the fiber and prevent gas.)

🌱Kidney beans (dark red kidney beans pair well with salads, or on their own!)

🌱Lentils

Delicious and Nutritious: Exploring the World of Vegan and Gluten-Free Recipes

In a world where health-conscious choices and dietary preferences are on the rise, the fusion of vegan and gluten-free eating has emerged as a powerhouse combination. By embracing a vegan and gluten-free lifestyle, you're not only catering to your dietary needs but also opening up a world of flavorful and nourishing culinary experiences. In this blog, we embark on a journey to explore the delectable realm of vegan and gluten-free recipes, where taste and nutrition harmoniously converge.

The Magic of Plant-Based Eating:

Veganism isn't merely a dietary choice; it's a philosophy that advocates compassionate living and sustainable consumption. By eliminating animal products from your plate, you're not only promoting animal welfare but also embracing a diet rich in plant-based nutrients. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds form the foundation of a vegan diet, providing an array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall well-being.

Navigating Gluten-Free Living:

Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, can pose challenges for those with sensitivities or celiac disease. Going gluten-free involves avoiding these grains and exploring alternatives like quinoa, rice, oats, and gluten-free flours. By adopting a gluten-free diet, you're fostering gut health, reducing inflammation, and discovering a new world of culinary possibilities.

Balancing Nutrients in Your Diet:

Combining vegan and gluten-free diets requires mindful nutrient planning. Protein, iron, calcium, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids are essential components that need special attention. Learn about plant-based sources of these nutrients to ensure you're nourishing your body optimally. Incorporating a variety of foods will help you meet your nutritional goals.

Embracing Culinary Creativity:

The vegan and gluten-free journey is an opportunity to embrace culinary creativity like never before. Explore new grains like quinoa and amaranth, and experiment with plant-based protein sources such as lentils, beans, and tofu. Mix and match spices, herbs, and sauces to create tantalizing flavors that elevate your meals to a whole new level.

From Breakfast to Dessert: Vegan and Gluten-Free Delights:

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert – the vegan and gluten-free world has options to satisfy every craving. Start your day with creamy chia seed pudding or a hearty smoothie bowl. Dive into nourishing salads, flavorful stir-fries, and satisfying curries for lunch and dinner. And don't forget to indulge in vegan and gluten-free desserts like avocado chocolate mousse or almond flour cookies.

Empowering Your Well-Being:

Beyond the plate, embracing vegan and gluten-free eating empowers your well-being on multiple levels. Improved digestion, increased energy levels, clearer skin, and a strengthened immune system are just some of the benefits reported by those who have embraced this lifestyle. It's a testament to the transformative potential of conscious dietary choices.

Conclusion: A Flavorful Voyage Awaits:

As we conclude our exploration into the world of vegan and gluten-free recipes, remember that this culinary journey is about more than just food. It's an opportunity to connect with nature, support your health, and make a positive impact on the planet. By delving into this fusion of flavors and nutrients, you're taking a step towards a more vibrant, compassionate, and delicious life. So, grab your apron and embark on this flavorful voyage with excitement and an open heart!

How to Make your own Chocolate from Cacao Powder

Making your own chocolate from cacao may seem a little extreme, yet there are several compelling reasons to do so. The good news is that it is far easier than you might think, and whilst it may not quite match up to the shop-bought stuff it is still pretty good.

Why Make Homemade Chocolate?

For many of us (maybe most of us) chocolate is non-negotiable. A life without chocolate is simply unfathomable. Yet chocolate is widely available, so why go to the trouble of making your own, especially when the results may not be as silky smooth as the real deal? The main reason for wanting to make your own chocolate is most likely the sugar content of the commercial stuff. Even dark chocolate contains sugar, which if you are on a completely sugar-free diet is a bit of a problem. Vegan chocolate is becoming more and more widely available, but sugar free? And then there are all the other things that find their way into chocolate. The list of ingredients just seems to get longer and longer. It just makes sense to try and find a way to get your chocolate fix closer to home. Different Types of Homemade Chocolate Homemade chocolate all follows pretty much along the same lines, but your reasons for making it in the first place will dictate your eventual recipe. Most homemade chocolate recipes still contain sugar, albeit in a somewhat more natural form such as honey. If you want to go completely sugar free then the only way forward is to include milk powder. This tames the bitterness of the cocoa to a palatable degree. Anyone who says they like 100% raw chocolate with no sugar and no milk is possibly lying. If only to themselves. Or you can keep the sugar, and omit the milk powder. Like we said; you can't really do both. You could of course, try adding sugar AND milk powder.

Making Milk Chocolate from Cacao Powder

For us, the whole point was to be completely sugar free. With sugar, wheat, and all food additives off the menu it was a case of 'well if you want to eat this thing, then you will have to make it yourself'. We discovered the buffering effect of milk on the bitterness of cacao completely by accident. Our first sugar free chocolate fix was simply hot cocoa made with cacao and milk. Which was surprisingly good. Then, adding a spoonful or two of cacao to rice pudding made without sugar resulted in a creamy, deeply chocolatey, almost ganache like affair. The only natural conclusion to this was 'can we make milk chocolate with no sugar?'. The answer turned out to be yes.

How to Make your own Chocolate

Whilst you do not need any particularly special kit for making chocolate, there are a few items that you cannot do without. The first is a probe thermometer. These are really inexpensive and come in handy in all sorts of ways in the kitchen. You can make chocolate without one, but for the best results you need to follow as professional procedure as possible. A stick blender. Commercial and professional bean to bar chocolatiers put their chocolate through a really fine grinder. The best way to approximate this is to use a handheld blender during the cooling process. Your chocolate will not be as silky smooth as the stuff you buy, but it will be closer than if you did not blend it at all. Culinary grade cocoa butter. This usually comes as buttons, that look like large white chocolate buttons. Some ground spices help balance the bitterness. Vanilla powder, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom. Chocolate moulds, although not necessary, do give you a nicer finish. We used plain bar silicone moulds. The rest is simply a bowl over a saucepan of water, a silicone spatula, and plenty of patience. If you don't use moulds, then you will need a baking tray and some baking parchment/greaseproof paper. And of course, cacao powder. Basic Recipe for Homemade Chocolate (sugar-free) Whilst not exactly milk chocolate, this does contain full fat milk powder instead of sugar. 250g cocoa butter 60g raw cacao powder 60g FULL FAT milk POWDER 1 tsp vanilla powder 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground cardamom - Measure out all of your ingredients, and make sure your working space is clear of clutter. - Set out 6 chocolate moulds on a baking sheet, or place a generous sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray. Make sure you have space to put the tray into the fridge, on a level surface. - Have your stick blender plugged in and ready to go, and the digital thermometer ready. - Wear an apron! - Find a suitably sized mixing bowl and a saucepan that it will sit snugly over. You need enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, but not touch the bottom of the bowl. - Sit this over a low heat and bring the water to a gentle simmer. - Add your cocoa butter to the bowl and slowly melt it to 40C. You may want to take it off the heat when it reaches about 35C and let the rest melt in the residual heat. Once melted, you want that cocoa butter at 40C - 45C. - Remove the bowl from the pan, and place on a stable surface where you are comfortable standing. This process while take a while. - Add the rest of your ingredients and stir to combine. - Now, you are going to cool that mixture down to 28C. It could take 30 minutes so you really need to be patient. - Use the stick blender for as long as you can during this process. It can be noisy, and the motor can get hot, so alternate bursts of blending with bursts of stirring with the wooden spatula. You can get away with brief periods of not stirring, but it is the cooling and the stirring that creates the tempering of the chocolate. - Once you reach 28C, pour the liquid chocolate into the moulds or onto the baking tray. - Transfer to the fridge to set. - The chocolate will set quite quickly, but keep it in the fridge for a few hours. You will find that the texture changes over time, and also depending where you store it. - Either store the bars as they are, or break up your sheet of chocolate. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge or in the cupboard. You may want to experiment with both, to see what works best for you and your kitchen. Tweaking your chocolate recipe Once you have made your first batch of chocolate you are ready to evaluate how it went. A grainy texture cannot be avoided, but hopefully with the blender and the proper tempering process it was kept to a minimum. How did you find the taste? Was it too bitter? Did the milk powder bring in a softer taste? Do you think you would rather add a little sweetness? Homemade Vegan Dark Chocolate Following exactly the same procedure above you can make a darker, yet sweeter, dairy-free version. Simply omit the milk powder, and replace the cacao with 125g of our organic drinking cacao, which is made with pure organic cacao and organic coconut sugar.

What Recipe Can I Make With...? Creative and Delicious Ideas

Hi everyone! Are you stuck in a cooking rut and looking for something new to make? Look no further – I'm here to help. In this article, we'll be discussing the question: "What recipe can I make with..." We'll explore some simple ingredients that are easy to find in your kitchen, as well as more complex options if you're feeling adventurous. With these recipes, you won't have any problem coming up with an interesting dish for dinner tonight. So let's get started! Eggs I love to cook with eggs. Not only are they delicious and versatile, but they offer a great source of nutrition as well. Whether I'm making scrambled eggs for breakfast, quiche for lunch or an omelette for dinner, I can rely on the quality protein that comes from eggs to keep me feeling full and energized throughout my day. That being said, there may be times when you don't have access to fresh eggs. In this case, egg substitutes such as tofu or flaxseed meal can serve as viable alternatives in baked goods and other recipes. These vegan-friendly options provide similar nutritional value without having to compromise flavour or texture. No matter which option you choose to go with – whether it's fresh eggs or vegan alternatives – make sure to read up on all the health benefits associated with each one so that you're getting the most out of your meals! Rice Moving on from eggs, I'm now focusing on rice. Rice is a versatile ingredient that can turn into many delicious meals and snacks. A few of my favorite recipes are sushi making, fried rice, rice pudding, rice salad, and even rice cakes! Sushi making is one of the most common uses for cooked white or brown rice. It's also an incredibly fun recipe to make - you get to be creative with what ingredients you want to use! Fried rice is another great way to utilize leftover cooked grains in your kitchen. You just need some vegetables, soy sauce and sesame oil - so delicious! And if you're feeling really adventurous, why not try making a sweet treat using cooked white or brown rice? Rice pudding is always a fan-favorite because of its creamy texture and lovely flavor. Or maybe whip up a light meal like a flavorful vegetable-packed rice salad - perfect for picnics and potlucks alike! Lastly, don't forget about those crunchy little treats known as 'rice cakes'. These are surprisingly easy to make; all you have to do is combine cooked grains with nut butter and honey for a tasty snack any time of day. No matter what kind of dish you decide to make with your cooked grains, there's no doubt it'll be absolutely scrumptious! So let's get cooking – who knows what amazing dishes we'll come up with next? Vegetables I love to make vegetarian dishes! There are so many delicious recipes you can create with vegetables. They don't have to be boring, either – there's a wide variety of flavors and textures available when you work with plant-based ingredients. From spicy curries to savory stir-frys, whatever your taste buds crave, it can likely be made using only veggies. Vegetarian cuisine is not only tasty but also incredibly nutritious. Plant based diets are full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help keep us healthy and energized throughout the day. By swapping out meat for fruits and vegetables in our meals we’re able to get all the nutrients we need without compromising on flavor or creativity. Making creative recipes with fresh produce is one of my favorite things about cooking. It allows me to explore new flavors while making something that’s both nourishing and satisfying. Whether I'm rustling up a quick lunch or putting together an elaborate dinner spread, I always start by looking at what kind of seasonal veg I've got lying around in my kitchen - from there, the possibilities truly are endless! Cheese I love cheese, and I'm always looking for ways to incorporate it into meals. Grilled cheese is a classic go-to when it comes to quick, cheesy dinners that never fail to hit the spot. It's simple enough just two slices of bread with your favorite kind of cheese in between--and yet there are so many delicious variations you can make! For instance, try adding some thinly sliced tomatoes or even pesto between those two slices of bread; the possibilities are truly endless. Macaroni and cheese is another great way to get my fix of melty goodness. There are tons of recipes out there that involve baking macaroni in a creamy sauce topped with crunchy bits like panko crumbs or fried onions. And if you want something even more indulgent, why not add bacon? The salty pork adds an entirely new level of flavor to this comfort food staple. These dishes may not be as fancy as other things on the menu but they sure do satisfy my cravings for cheese every time. Plus, they're easy enough for anyone to master without any culinary training required! Beans Beans are a great ingredient to add flavor and texture to your meals, but they can also be incredibly nutritious. Healthy bean dishes offer essential vitamins and minerals that can help you maintain overall health. Let's take a closer look at the nutrition facts of beans and some delicious recipes you can make with them! Beans have high levels of protein which is important for building muscle mass and maintaining energy throughout the day. They're also rich in fiber, potassium, folate, iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese, copper, and selenium - all nutrients vital for healthy functioning. Additionally beans contain powerful antioxidants such as flavonoids that may reduce inflammation and protect against chronic diseases like cancer. With so many benefits from eating beans on a regular basis it’s no wonder why they've been eaten around the world for centuries. You can find countless delicious recipes online or create your own creative dish using whatever ingredients are available in your pantry. Whether you prefer spicy refried black beans or a creamy white bean hummus dip there's something out there sure to satisfy every craving! Frequently Asked Questions What Are The Health Benefits Of Each Ingredient? When it comes to nutrition facts and flavor profiles, each ingredient you use has its own set of health benefits. From apples being rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C to garlic being high in antioxidants and having anti-inflammatory properties, there are plenty of reasons why you should be incorporating these ingredients into your recipes. Nutrition facts vary from one to another, but all offer a variety of advantages that can help improve the overall quality of your diet. With careful consideration for flavor profiles as well, you’ll find yourself making healthier dishes with satisfying tastes! What Ingredients Can Be Used As Substitutes For The Listed Ingredients? Not sure what to do when a recipe calls for an ingredient you don't have? Don't worry, there are plenty of vegan alternatives and substitutes that can work in its place. Depending on your dietary restrictions, it's easy to find ingredients with similar flavors or textures as the listed item. For example, if a recipe asks for butter, you can use applesauce instead; if it requires eggs, try using flaxseed meal instead. With some creativity and experimentation, you'll be able to make delicious dishes without worrying about having every single ingredient at hand! What Is The Best Cooking Method For Each Ingredient? When it comes to cooking techniques and food preparation, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on the ingredient you're working with, different methods may yield better results than others.

How can you find out a good Indian restaurant?

Indian cuisine encompasses a wide variety of regional specialties from India and its surrounding regions. The meals are all diverse since they employ various herbs, spices, and produce. Even days, many long-standing Indian dining enterprises are run by first-generation families. Those who are unfamiliar with the culinary culture at hand may feel overwhelmed while trying to place an order. Listed below are some helpful reminders of what to order in an Indian restaurant:

Realize Which Foods to Consume

Indian cuisine makes use of a wide variety of herbs, spices, sauces, meats, and vegetables in its dishes. A variety of cultures, including those of China, Portugal, and England, contributed to its development. Most Indians are vegetarians because their faith, Buddhism, teaches people to value plants above animals. Dosa is actually a great option.

Typical Indian starters are deep-fried pastries served with creamy soups or raw vegetable salads. It's often served with a cool condiment like chutney or yogurt to counteract the heat. Most people think of the samosa when they hear the word "appetizer," but it's really a fried pastry filled with a variety of veggies, meat, and spices. In the same vein as the samosa, the pakora is a popular pastry. The only real difference is that the contents are not stuffed within the dough before being fried. South indian restaurant Barcelona will provide you the best food.

To balance the heat of Indian cuisine, sweetened beverages are served. The lassi, a delicious yogurt shake, is the drink of choice. Foodies also like to enjoy panakam, a sweet drink made from water, sugar, ginger, and lime juice. Indian restaurant will get you popular alcoholic beverage options. 

Main Courses - For those who choose not to consume any kind of meat, there are dining establishments that provide an alternative. Since some diners prefer vegetarian options, some chefs may substitute vegetables for meat in certain recipes. Generally speaking, a curry is the greatest choice for a main meal. Vegan Restaurant Barcelona have reasonable prices. To make this, marinate the meat or veggies in yogurt or a coconut-based sauce. Most of the meals in an Indian restaurant will have either lamb, chicken, rice, or spinach.

Indians have a sweet tooth, thus sweets that combine sugar, milk, and fruit are popular. Most restaurants use fruits like pomegranates, mangoes, and bananas to sweeten their puddings and ice creams. Kheer, a rice pudding flavored with cardamom, cinnamon, and raisins, is a classic sweet treat. Indian restaurant Barcelona will give you a delicious experience.

Several Options for Spicy and Gravy Dishes

Indian restaurants attract spice-seekers because they provide a wide range of spice degrees, from moderate to extremely intense. If you're just starting out, you shouldn't order anything too spicy. You could try a mouthful and decide it's not worth continuing to eat, wasting your money. Eat bland dishes until you feel confident ordering something spicy. South indian restaurants are pretty popular.

A high-gravy meal should be paired with a drier item, as is customary in Indian cuisine. Rice recipes are enhanced by the gravy's flavor. Chapati, Paratha, or Naan are available to counteract the dryness of the savory foods.
