Curried Chick Peas and Dahl

From PETA's website. You can find the original recipe here. 


I didn't have any orange juice concentrate, so I skipped that, and used less tomato just because I had some sauce left over from the stuffed peppers I made last night (recipe here). I added a bunch of other veggies I had in the fridge, like green beans, carrots and bell peppers, the last two mostly for the color. A *very* modified recipe, but it gives me the chance to link to PETA.  :)


The millet I made as homework for my Vegan Mastery Program. First time ever, and I overcooked it, but loved it nonetheless. 


Beautiful pottery, isn't it? It's by Adriana Serdán (website).

Garbanzo and cilantro croquettes

I got the recipe from my friend Lee's Vegaloca blog. You can see her original recipe here. I made some modifications mostly because I didn't have all the ingredients. Firstly, and very importantly, I didn't use black eyed peas, but garbanzos soaked overnight and cooked this morning. I had no carrots, so I used some zucchini instead. I found that the garbanzos absorbed moisture, so I only added half the flour called for in Lee's recipe. I fried the first batch; for the following batches, I just added a little bit of oil and cooked them that way. 


The spunky taste combination of cilantro and onion is amazing. As I may have mentioned before, I'm a ketchup fiend, and this time was no exception. Yum, Lee, this was a great idea!!! 


(I may very well eat some of the uncooked leftovers raw with some lime juice and finely diced chili peppers!)  

Vegan MoFo 2010: Curry de vegetales con tortitas de garbanzo

De Comida deliciosa sin gluten, trigo ni lácteos por Nicola Graimes (2007 Parragon Books Ltd.)

Uff, la receta más cansada de todas, hasta ahorita. Con una lista larguérrima de ingredientes, en un orden raro que me perdía a cada rato. No estoy acostumbrada a pesar las cosas (muchos de los ingredientes venían en gramos, en vez de en tazas), así que me tardé el doble en calcular cuánto se necesitaba. Pero tengo que aprender, y afortunadamente tengo una báscula que funcionó bien, la pobrecita. Además, me tardé una eternidad en prepararlo todo. 

Las tortitas salieron con todo tipo de consistencias, conforme se iba espesando la masa, y como de verdad no me encantan las cosas fritas, estoy pensando seriamente en tirarlas y agregarle a la receta unos viles y silvestres garbanzos cocidos (que están ya listos en el refri, gracias).
