Lots of C’s in this week’s CSA haul. Elstars, leek and salad greens rich with vitamin C, and carrots, corn salad and cilantro starting with it… No-one’s laughing, I know. ;)
- Carrots
- Cilantro
- Corn salad
- Leek
- Elstar apples
- Fennel
My fridge is pretty full with open tins, leftovers and even more vegetables, so here’s my plan to use up as much as possible.
Menuplan Friday October 26th – Tuesday 30th
- Noodles with leftover takeaway garlic tofu from Soy with additional vegetables (carrot, leek, yellow pepper, borlotti beans) and mushrooms. [Friday]
- Pea soup (freezer stash), pasta salad with leftover avocado pesto and sun-dried tomatoes, Caesar salad (dressing from La Dolce Vegan! p.93), bread and dip. [Saturday - DEXTER DATE]
- Leek & potato soup with cilantro (La Dolce Vegan! p.109), tasty tempeh chili for NVV-forum La Dolce Vegan! cookbook challenge (p.163) and bread.
- Potato salad with avocado pesto, balsamic vinegar, onion and sun-dried tomatoes, coconut-carrot soup with cilantro (La Dolce Vegan! p.112 half recipe).
- Fennel salad with tomato, basil and olives, roasted sweet dumpling pumpkins stuffed with Gyro seitan from my new Terry Hope Romero cookbook Vegan Eats World (p.54 & 253), leftover dill sauce.
Last night I went to the Terry Hope Romero cooking demo, Q&A and book presentation of Vegan Eats World (more about that soon). We got to taste the gyro seitan with creamy cashew sauce and a banana-chocolate ‘cheesecake’. Both were awesome so I bought the book and put the seitan on the menu right away! It’s my first time making seitan, so fingers crossed…

I really should buy La Dolce Vegan! ;) You are cooking so many things from it each week. I think it is your most used cookbook? I have Vegan Eats World as a Galley, but I am not sure about the book yet. It seems the recipes do require more work than I can put in. But I have to take a good look at it later :)

It is my most used vegan cookbook indeed, but that’s partly because it was my first – and only one for many months!
I’m not sure but it may be that the recipes in Vegan Eats World look more time consuming than they really are. Will let you know once I’ve tried a few!

I loved the olive seitan as well! I’ll have to try the recipe ASAP, can’t wait to try it in a sandwich! The rest of your menu plan looks great too.
If you’ve never made seitan I think Terry’s recipe will be a great place to start – when I first made it I tried boiling and baking it with mixed results, and steaming seems to be a more reliable method. And I loved all the flavours in there even without the sauce!

Yes, I may not even be making the cashew sauce because we’ve got some dill sauce left from another meal we had this week. Going to pimp that! I absolutely LOVED the lemony taste of the seitan in itself, but I’m still a bit nervous about making it myself. There’s a first time for everything! :)
