Hello VegCooks!
I’m sorry for the delay in getting our weekly round-up posted. I was out of town for half the week, so I’m behind on everything, and didn’t get a chance to cook from our June VegCookbook, Meatless, until last night.
Does anyone else feel like life is moving extra fast right now?
Last night I made two dishes:
The Portobello and Zucchini Tacos and the Kale & Red Cabbage Slaw. I loved the tacos! For some reason, in my post-trip-grocery-shopping stupor I wrote down “salsa” instead of “cherry tomatoes” on my shopping list, so my tacos were topped with salsa, instead of fresh tomatoes, but they were still very tasty. The recipe calls for Monterey Jack cheese, but you could veganize it by using vegan Monterey Jack. You can view the recipe on MarthaStewart.com.
I wasn’t as crazy about the Kale & Red Cabbage Slaw, but I think that is because I did a *very* lazy, post-trip-tired-cook thing. I put all of the ingredients in the food processor. Even though the kale and cabbage were supposed to be shredded, the carrots julenned, the parsley chopped and the red onion diced, I grated it all in my food processor. Not a good idea. I would like to make this again — properly! You can view the recipe on WholeLiving.com.
