You'll want to prepare this vegan burger dish repeatedly. A flavorful and nutritious homemade vegetable burger is fashioned with savory chickpea and zucchini patties, juicy tomato slices, peppery arugula, and a creamy, herb-flecked tahini ranch sauce. They can be placed inside pitas or served on buns. Making extra sauce is advisable because it makes a delicious salad dressing when thinned with a little water and works wonderfully as a dip for vegetable sticks.

Ingredients:

•  1 tablespoon lemon juice and
•  4 tablespoons tahini.
•  3 teaspoon white miso divided.
•  split into 1 1/4 teaspoons of onion powder,
•  1 1/4 teaspoons of garlic powder,
•  1 1/4 teaspoons of powdered pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water.
•  2 teaspoons, divided, plus 1 teaspoon freshly chopped chives.

Instruction

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon miso, 2 tablespoons tahini, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Once the mixture is smooth, gradually whisk in the water. Add 1 teaspoon of chopped chives. Set apart.

Step 2

Combine chickpeas, cumin, salt, and the remaining 2 tablespoons tahini, 2 teaspoons miso, 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, pepper, and 3/4 onion powder. Process until smooth. As you pulse, pause occasionally to scrape down the edges to create a grainy mixture that holds together when pushed. Pulse the parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons of chives into the mixture until the herbs are finely chopped. Toss into a basin.

Step 3

To remove additional moisture, squeeze zucchini in a fresh kitchen towel. Use your hands to blend the zucchini and oats with the chickpea mixture, mashing them together as you go. Into 4 patties, form.

Step 4

In a sizable nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden and starting to crisp. Flip carefully, then cook a further 2 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown.

5.Butternut Squash Chipotle Chili with Avocado:

Black beans and butternut squash are used to make a hearty, spicy, and sweet vegetarian chili. For a quick supper that suits both vegans and carnivores as well as gluten-free diners, top with creamy avocado. Servings range from 3 to 4. This chili is fairly substantial, but if you want to thin it up a little, feel free to add another can of tomatoes or extra vegetable broth. 

INGREDIENTS:

• Olive oil, two tablespoons
•  1 chopped medium red onion.
•  2 chopped red bell pepper.
•  1 small butternut squash (1.5 pounds or less) peeled and chopped in half-inch cubes.
•  4 minced or pressed garlic cloves.
•  10 grams of chili powder.
•   Half a tablespoon of chopped chipotle pepper in adobo (I found that 1 tablespoon was the perfect amount for mine; start with 1/2 tablespoon and add more to taste).
•  Bay leaf, one.
• 2 cans (15 ounces each), rinsed, and drained,3 cups of black beans cooked.
• 1 little can (14 ounces) chopped tomatoes with liquid included.
•  two cups of vegetable stock (or one 14-ounce can).
• Salt, as desired.
•  2 diced Mexican avocados.
• To make crispy tortilla strips, use 3 corn tortillas (or substitute crumbled tortilla chips).
• Additional garnishes are optional. fresh cilantro chopped finely and/or red pepper flakes.

INSTRUCTIONS

1.        Warm the olive oil until shimmering in a Dutch oven or stockpot with a capacity of 4 to 6 quarts over medium heat. Butternut squash, bell pepper, and onion are added. Cook, stirring periodically until the onions start to become translucent.

2.       Add the cinnamon, cumin, 12 tablespoons of diced chipotle peppers, garlic, chili powder, and medium-low heat. Around 30 seconds, while constantly stirring, cook until aromatic. Add the broth, tomatoes, black beans, and their juices. Combine well, cover, and stir once or twice for about an hour. Test the food halfway through cooking and, if desired, add more chopped chipotle peppers.

3.        After the butternut squash is deliciously soft and the liquid has slightly decreased to create the familiar, robust chilli consistency, your chilli is finished. Taking off the bay leaf, season with salt to taste.

4.    To make the crunchy tortilla strips, stack the corn tortillas and cut them into two-inch-long by-one-fourth-inch-wide strips. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil until it shimmers. Slices of the tortilla should be added along with salt and stirred. Sauté for 4 to 7 minutes, tossing periodically, until the strips are golden and crispy. Take the tortilla strips from the skillet and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

5.    Serve the chili in small bowls, garnished with plenty of cubed avocado and crunchy tortilla pieces. I threw some red pepper flakes in there (optional). Also, nice would-be cilantro. For spice lovers like me, you might want to serve this with some chipotle hot sauce (Tabasco produces one).

 

6. Curried Roasted Eggplant with Smoked

 Cardamom and Coconut Milk:

Curry ingredients:

•  2 lbs. of eggplant (about 10 medium Chinese or Japanese eggplant)
•   3 tablespoons olive oil
•   table salt as desired
•  ghee, 3 tablespoons (or coconut oil if vegan)
• 2 cups yellow onion, chopped (from 2 medium or 3 smaller onions)
• 5 cracked black cardamom pods.
•  one dried, crumbled chile de arbol (or another medium-spicy chilli) (more or less to your taste)
•  8 cracked green cardamom pods.
•  2 teaspoons of seeds of coriander
•  Black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon
•  Black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
•  4 large, peeled, and slivered garlic cloves
• 1" chunk of peeled, long, thin slices of ginger
• 1 pound of chopped, stemmed, medium dry-farmed Early Girls tomatoes.
•  1 can (13.5 ounce/400 mL) of full-fat coconut milk
• 0.5 cups of water
•  a couple handfuls of leaves of cilantro, chopped a few slivered mint leaves.
•   Greek yogurt made from one pint of whole milk, served with rice.

 For the rice

•   3 1/2 cups water, plus additional water for rinsing the rice,
•   3 1/2 cups water, plus additional water for rinsing the rice,
•   1 teaspoon of sea salt, fine

INSTRUCTIONS

• the eggplant is roasted:
• Set oven racks in the upper and bottom thirds and heat to 400 degrees.
• Slice long, slender eggplant varieties into 1-inch-thick slices by cutting them across the grain. Cut the globe-shaped eggplants into 2-inch square pieces. Place the sliced eggplant on a baking sheet with a rim and top with salt and olive oil. Using your hands, toss your coat. The eggplant chunks should be spread out on two baking pans and roasted until the bottoms are brown. roughly 15 minutes. The slices can then be turned over and baked for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are soft and golden. Take the oven out and off.

build the curry:

1.       Ghee should shimmer after being heated to a medium-high temperature in a sizable soup pot or Dutch oven. Place the onion, black cardamom seeds, and chile de arbol in crumbled form. Medium-low heat should be used to cook the onions for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until they are brown and soft.

2.       In the meantime, crack open the green cardamom pods and shake the seeds out of the black ones. Use a clean coffee grinder or spice mill to grind these ingredients along with the coriander and peppercorns.

3.      Stir in the ground spice combination, turmeric, garlic, and ginger once the onions are tender. After toasting the spices for a few minutes, toss in the roasted eggplant, water, coconut milk, and diced tomatoes. Stirring occasionally, lower the heat after the curry has reached a simmering point and continue to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. When done, the sauce should be slightly thickened to resemble stew while the eggplant should still have its shape. If you think the curry needs more salt, give it a taste. If you let it sit and chill, it will become much thicker. 

Rice should be prepared while the curry simmers.

1.       Put the rice in a medium bowl and add cool water to cover it. Drain off the milky water after a brief period of swishing. Once more, do this twice, and the water ought to be rather clear. After thoroughly draining it, add the 3 1/2 cups of water, salt, and rice to a large, covered saucepan. Bring to a boil over a medium-high temperature, cover, lower the heat to low, and let steam for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water has all been absorbed. Add another 1/4 cup of water and continue cooking the rice if it's still crispy. Ten minutes after being let to stand, fluff the rice with a fork.

Assisting things:

1.       Serve the curry with rice and yogurt after ladling it onto a dish and garnishing it with chopped cilantro and mint slivers.
