Belgian Endive Salad
This salad is so attractive sitting by each place. You can vary the filling to suit your taste – make it hotter, add a dressing, salt & pepper it etc.
Belgian-Style Seitan Stew With Dark Beer
This recipe was found in Robin Robertson’s Vegan Planet. My hubby is a brewer, so I naturally gravitated toward this recipe. I think this recipe would be equally as good with sliced portabello mushrooms. It’s all about the sauce, which is thick and delicious. The carmelized onions are what makes this so tasty, in my opinion. The note says to serve it over noodles and to wash it down with more of the beer that you use in the stew. I served it over mashed potatoes and a side of steamed broccoli and used (and drank) oatmeal stout. Yum.
Garlic and Mustard Roasted Brussel Sprouts
I found this on another site and tweeked it just a little, adding lemon juice. Great with a holiday meal, or any weeknight is great too.
Basque Salad
A tasty and refreshing salad. Nice to prepare ahead for company. An adaptation of a recipe from Marilyn Perzik on Allrecipes.com. I like to sprinkle the croutons on individual servings just before eating.
Azerbaijani Pomegranate and Spinach Soup (Vegan)
From Silk Road Cooking: A Vegetarian Journey by Najmieh Batmanglij. In the list of ingredients is also 1 Tbsp angelica powder but the recipe editor would not let me add it. This is untried by me so far, but I plan on making it this winter while pomegranites are in season. It took me quite some time to find angelica powder. I found it in a magic speciality shop.
