The Nasty Bits: Testicles, Grilled and Fried

From Recipes On a recent warm Friday night, I had the good fortune to while away the time in the company of friends out on their deck. The theme for the evening was a Man-B-Q, a barbecue in which, as our host announced, “No girly things, such as vegetables, utensils, or napkins,” were allowed. Guests were encouraged to bring side dishes to the Man-B-Q, as long as they were “meaty comestibles” to accompany the meat that would be grilled throughout the evening. Aside from the anthropologically questionable and chauvinist claim that vegetables are feminine (is there anything more manly than the armor of an artichoke or a spear of asparagus?), there was the troubling fact, made all the clearer as the night progressed, that the Man-B-Q was attended mostly by women. What to bring to a Man-B-Q? The men in my life love things like smoked ribs and beefy steaks, but then again, so do I. As I stood before my refrigerator and contemplated what to do, it dawned on me that the only logical thing to bring to a Man-B-Q is some part of a man. As luck would have it, I just happened to …

Ramen with Fennel Broth, Oolong Tea Smoked Tofu and Grilled Maitake Mushrooms

Dinner 1/28 Ramen with Fennel Broth, Oolong Tea Smoked Tofu and Grilled Maitake Mushrooms The fennel broth is made with the leftover trimmings and fronds from the fennel and adds a subtle flavor to the bowl — it’s vaguely anise flavored, without tasting like you’re biting into a giant chunk of licorice. Paired with the aromatic oolong tea-smoked tofu (hiding underneath the noodles) and the incredibly smokey grilled maitake mushrooms (marinated with tamari, olive oil and pepper), there was quite the party going on in the bowl.

Mac ‘n Greens

Dinner 10/26 Mac ‘n Greens Leftover smoked cashew/macadamia cream sauce (- horseradish) + Daiya + wilted chard + nutmeg = Mac ‘n Greens. This. Was. Awesome. Mac ‘n Greens (makes 4) Smoked Cream Sauce smoker box 3/4 cup of cashews 1/4 cup of macadamia nuts water salt 1 tbs. nutritional yeast 1/2 cup of soy/rice/almond milk Pasta 16 oz. macaroni (you’ll probably have leftover pasta depending on what type you use — this only used about 3/4 of the total amount of macaroni) Greens 1 tbs. olive oil 1 small bunch of chard, rinsed, stems removed & leaves thinly sliced salt & pepper to taste Sauce Base 2 tbs. soy margarine 2 tbs. all-purpose flour 2 cups of smoked cashew/macadamia cream sauce 1 tbs. nutritional yeast 1 tsp. nutmeg salt & pepper to taste Cheese 4 oz. Daiya To make the smoked cashew/macadamia cream, start by smoking the nuts with alder wood for 20 minutes. Add them to the Vita-mix along with enough water to make a cream sauce. The amount will vary, but you’re looking for a smooth, creamy sauce. Now, thin it out by adding 1/2 cup of soy/rice/almond milk and the nutritional yeast and puree together again. The resulting sauce should be able to coat the back of a spoon easily. Check for salt and reserve. (Don’t want to do all that? …

Lentil Soup with Smoked Sausage

It’s so easy to forget about the foods that don’t look like much, even though they can taste really, really good. Like hit-the-spot kind of good. The kind of good that has you going back for seconds even though you’re already comfortably full. It’d have to say that lentils are one of those foods. Particularly, this bowl of Lentil Soup with Smoked Sausage. The soup is rich with flavor despite it’s simple ingredients. I love a good meal that can be made without a big trip to the store. Carrots, celery, onion, I always keep those on hand. When smoked sausage goes on sale, I usually grab a few for the freezer because I know it’s fast and good for busy days. This recipe for Lentil Soup with Smoked Sausage doesn’t have a fancy thing about it – in looks or ingredients. But it did have me going back for seconds. Lentil Soup with Smoked Sausage a goodLife {eats} creation 1 3/4 c dried lentils 16 oz. smoked sausage, sliced and quartered 1 red onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 carrots, peeled and diced 2 ribs celery, diced 4 cups chicken broth 2 cups water 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 dashes cayenne pepper 1 dash cumin 1 dash garlic powder 2 bay leaves 1 Tbs fresh parsley, finely chopped In a medium sized stock pot, sautee the sausage until it…

Hickory Smoked Eggplant and Roasted Zucchini Lasagna

Dinner 9/01 Hickory Smoked Eggplant and Roasted Zucchini Lasagna Sometime last night a switch was flipped, and I woke up at 2am absolutely freezing … Hello September! So it only seemed fitting to make a big container of comfort food, namely, lasagna. We hickory smoked the eggplant for 20 minutes, then brushed it with olive oil, salt and pepper and grilled it. The zucchini (the size of a Mini Cooper) came from the garden and was also brushed with olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted for 20 minutes at 350F. They were layered together with the whole wheat lasagna noodles, homemade tomato sauce, wilted spinach, tofu ricotta and cheddar Teese, and baked at 350F for 30 minutes. After the picture, the lasagna was put back on a sheet pan and put under the broiler for a minute or so, until the Teese melted — you need to crank the heat to 450F on pizza so it will melt, but that wasn’t really an option with the lasagna — it would have dried out/burnt before cooking all the way through. Why didn’t I take a picture of it like that? Good question. Something about “hungry people need to eat, so no more pictures already!” Fair enough…

Cassoulet, Artichoke Dip, Ciabatta, Mixed Green Salad with Blue Sheese

Dinner 9/06 Cassoulet Artichoke Dip Ciabatta Mixed Green Salad with Blue Sheese Liz made two ciabatta loaves this afternoon, so we had that with the cassoulet and artichoke dip (specifically requested by our daughter, for her, it’s its own food group).

Add the garlic, herbes de provence and smoked paprika and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a plate. Add 1 tbs. of olive oil and add the soyrizo (or tvp) and saute, scraping the pan occasionally until starting to show signs of caramelization, 4-6 minutes. Add the onion and garlic back to the pan along with the cannellini beans (and their liquid), tomato sauce. Stir to combine, bring to a …
