a cooking update:
i am really lazy. for the past five (i think?) nights, my dinner has consisted of a dish that is kind of reincarnation of mother’s peasant’s meal, but is more explicitly, as bread and honey defines it, hippie food. basically, it’s a lot of random stuff in a bowl topped with some kind of sauce. way hippie, i’m just spreading the love. man.
recipe: yield 1 serving
ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, cooked (from about 1/3 cup dry. i usually make a big batch at the beginning of the week.)
random assortment of raw vegetables (i usually use kale, sweet onion, yellow summer squash, carrots, maybe a sweet potato)
protein of choice: chickpeas, tofu, etc.
for sauce: agave nectar (light), bragg’s liquid aminos, toasted sesame oil, pinch of salt.
directions:
prepare veggies/protein individually as desired. i usually steam the vegetables and heat some chickpeas in the microwave. like i said, lazy.
whisk together sauce ingredients. i have no measurements for this, but it should taste kind of teriyaki-esque when you’re done.
mix everything together in a bowl: quinoa (warmed), vegetables, protein, and sauce.
in other epicurean news, i’m making my way slowly through the orangette archives and randomly testing out the appealing parts of the newest 101 suggestions from bittman (so far i’ve made #22, 35 [only because i felt like eating with chopsticks], and a modified 50 [no cheese, substitued balsamic vinegar, and served it over couscous.])
