Braised mushrooms with pearl barley, baby gem, tofu dressing and pumpkin seed pesto Recipe


     Agreed: not looking good, but a combination of textures and earthy, savoury             flavours come together to prove that vegan cooking has become a thrilling cuisine in its own right.
    To begin, cook 80g pearl barley according to the packet instructions. Set aside                           and keep warm or gently reheat just before serving


To make the tofu dressing, place an 8cm knob of ginger, peeled and grated, with 150g tofu, 1tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp tahini into a small blender and blitz until smooth. Season to taste and set aside

To cook the mushrooms, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. When hot, add 3 thickly sliced portobellos, seasoning well with salt and pepper. Brown well then turn over.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1tbsp miso paste and 2 tbsp soy sauce with 4 tbsp of water until smooth. Add this to the pan and gently simmer the mushrooms until they are cooked through (around 5–8 minutes)

While the mushrooms are cooking, make the pesto. Place 50g pumpkin seeds, 50g olive oil, 20g flat-leaf parsley and 10g coriander into a food processor with 2 tbsp of water and pulse until combined but still a little chunky. Season to taste and set aside

To cook the baby gem, heat a small frying pan over a high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and, when hot, place 2 gem halves in the pan, cut-side down. Leave to cook for a few minutes until nice and golden brown on the flat side

To serve, place a large spoonful of the tofu dressing in the bottom of each bowl. Divide the spelt between each bowl then add the mushrooms, along with any remaining pan juices. Finish with the pesto and baby gem halves. 

Garnish with cress, if desired. The oven roasted tomatoes I added were not necessary.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
