Impatient for the 4th of July Veggie Burgers!



I made veggie burgers today, to try tomorrow. They have been parcooked, molded, and are just waiting to sizzle in the pan tomorrow!

1 cup dry farro, cook it
1 tbsp chia soaking in 2 tbsp water
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp bisto
1 tbsp bac'n bits (vegan)
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp basil
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 can (about 16 oz if you cooked em yourself) black beans, mash

I used a huge 3 inch (or more) in diameter round cookie cutter ring to make 5 patties.
Piece of wax paper, grease ring, place on top, add 3-5 spoons of mixture, press in.
Move these burgers on wax paper to a solid pan or cutting board and place in freezer until hard and much easier to move.
Then place them in sealed container until ready to cook.
Tomorrow, when they are to be cooked, I will preheat a frying pan or an oven pan, then place oil, or spray oil on pan. Will cook about 5 minutes on each side to get a seer.
(Oven would probably be set at 375, but I plan to do this on top of the stove)


*EDIT: They came out a little dry but we had no issues with stuffing them in our face, twice the same day. Next time I may add some bean juice, and maybe the farro could have soaked in that hot water another 10 minutes, too.
The picture is of it frozen after cooked, testing reheating Wednesday.

Sweet potato oven taters, watermelon, nectarines, strawberries, salads.
Looking forward to it!
Also made a potato salad with a vinegar dressing instead of mayo.
It was about 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp maple, dill, sriracha salt, mustard.

Impatient for Freezer Meal-Making

Meals are being made and I just keep freezing the left overs. Spinach and Artichoke Casserole This was good split between the two of us on a hungry day, but would also make a great side for maybe 8 spoonfuls. Grease a pie plate and add the mixed combination of: 2 handfuls cut spinach 6.5 ounce jar marinated artichokes drained and minced 1 cup rehydrated, slightly seasoned (broth), broken into smaller pieces soy curls 2 cups crushed tortilla chips 2 mushrooms, minced 2 green onion stalks, sliced 1 cup bechamel (oil, flour, nutritional yeast, almond milk, salt, pepper, garlic) Bake about 350f for 45 minutes, or until browned, or bubbly. The Hotdogs I steam in parchment and foil wrappers. These might do good on a grill or a stick over fire but I have not tried it. I fry it in a pan to give it crispy edges all around. I eats like a hot dog, but don't expect that elastic molded-meat pull to it. This is more like if you made food out of play dough. 1 1/2 tbsp toma...

Impatient Training and Reboot

Husband decided that he wanted to learn to cook (without having to follow silly recipes). The first weekend was a basic yeast bread. Second was a jewelled, vegan rice (tvp, rice, seasoning, pistacchios, broth, dried apricots, raisins, onion, tomato, red bell pepper). Third, I ended up with strep throat, but had pulled out a pork roast to thaw-gave him written directions how to use the dutch oven with coal for the piece of meat- how to preheat, etc, outside. Pulled out seasonings for him to use his own judgement on so he can gauge seasoning use. Everything has come out pretty perfect! Never having had strep before, it has been/is still an interesting thing to go through. The first day I just thought it was monthly issues, then 3 am I began throwing up. By the second days' evening, my throat was sore and swollen, I pretty much figured I would die before my 21 year old cat. On the third day I went in to see a doctor because I realized it wasn't allergies and found it hard...

Impatient to Clean the Freezer Out Before Fall (Vegan Muffins, Vegan Shwarma meat, Goulash, Stuffed Mushrooms, Black Bean Burgers)

Image
7/26 Muffins 1 1/2 cups frozen cherries (second time was strawberries) 2 2/3 cups flour (*-1/3) 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 cup sugar (*- 3 tbsp) 1/2 cup oil (I may try to reduce this to 1/4 cup) (*use only 1/3 cup oil) 1 cup almond milk 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp apple cider vinegar 350 F for about 35 minutes, or until golden. I got 15 muffins out of my batch. (Still made 16 even with reducing flour, sugar, and oil) ** These seem highly unstable depending on humidity. I live in the desert but it rained last night and batter was way too wet, added more flour this third time. *Also sprinkled half with the coarse sugar on top. Have to make about 5 more batches to finish off fruit in freezer, freeze for tea. 7/27 Black Bean Burgers Smashed and mixed 1/2 cup black beans with 1/3 cup tvp that had been rehydrated with 2/3 cup broth 1/2 cup of bread crumbs Made 3, 1/2 cup serving burgers. Will try tomorrow! *Edit, they looked great, tasted grea...
