Mustard green alfalfa sprout & rosemary miso with matzah & toasted cheese

This came out great the rosemary gives it a bit of a bite in the back of the throat but that's what i get for experimenting anyway i think this will be better tomorrow because the rosemary will have had time to relax

Ingredients -- all measurements are estimates just use whatever amounts you would like

the miso
About  2 tablespoons miso paste -- i used South River chickpea miso but you can use any miso you like :-)
about 1/2 cup to 1 cup water
about 1 1/2 tsp wakame flakes
About 3/4 cup cooked mustard greens
about 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
about 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped red onion
about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary

the matzah
one piece of matzah
6 slices of goat milk cheddar cheese

Instructions
Put the miso paste in a small saucepan with a little bit of the water and stir.  Add water a little bit at a time until it tastes like soup :-) Add all of the other ingredients and heat on low until it is hot enough for you to eat, just don't boil it cause it kills the miso!

Put the cheese on the piece of matzah and broil it til the cheese is melted

YUM!

1 cup broccoli slaw mix (shredded broccoli stems and carrots)

1 small bulb fennel plus as much of the stems as you can use without them being tough

1 cup alfafa sprouts

8 radishes

1 avocado

2 large cloves garlic

10 pecans, chopped

4 oz goat gouda cheese, sliced into small chunks

about 3 tablespons olive oil

about 1 1/2 tablespons apple cider vinegar (bragg's)

about 1 teaspoon nutrional yeast or to taste

1 big pinch celtic sea salt

Stir in the tamari to taste until it tastes good. Chop the fennel and jerusalem artihoke into bite sized chunks and put in a large bowl. Chop off the ends of the snap peas and add those, slice the radishes and add them, cut the avocado into halves and scoop out bite sized chunks of and add, mince the garlic and add, add the broccoli slaw, alfalfa sprouts, pecans and cheese, add the olive oil, vinegar, yeast, and salt, and toss. Add all of the millet mixture and stir it all up. Mange! YUM! This came out really good

Hummus

This is really really really easy and it tastes SO MUCH BETTER than the stuff they sell in containers at the supermarket or the health food store -- the reason i feel great about making this now is largely because i am using an immersion blender which makes it MUCH easier to stir everything around while i am blending and also there is very little cleanup compared to a regular blender! YUM

1 15 oz can chickpeas
2 or 3 heaping soup spoonfuls raw tehini
1 medium clove garlic, minced
juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon
1 big pinch salt

Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid.  Put the chickpeas, the tehini, and the garlic in a medium saucepan or whatever container seems high enough not to splatter.  Place the immersion blender onto some of the chickpeas, turn it on at any speed, and slowly press down on the chickpeas -- the blender should chop them up and the chopped up chickpeas (and garlic and tehini) should squish out the holes in the side of the blender.  Repeat on every chickpea until everything is blended.  If it seems to need more moisture while doing this, add some of the reserved chickpea water.  At the end, add salt and lemon juice bit by bit to taste.

Qinoa Dill Carrot Salad
all the measurements are estimated i just sort of threw it together :-)

1/3 cup cooked black-eyed peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Chow Mein

Yum i made this except:

• sauteed everything in a big soup pot instead of a wok, substituted baby arugula for the spinach, used sweet pea sprouts where sprouts are called for, left out the sherry, substituted salt for the soy sauce, forgot to use the cornstarch, substituted agave syrup for the sugar, and threw in about 1 1/2 tsp curry powder at the end -- quite good on the third day (of course i was also very hungry on the third day)!

The veggies came out nice and crunchy :-)  I think i might make this again since i have more of most of everything still but i will make a peanut sauce using tamari, lime juice, peanut butter, and agave syrup & maybe chile and ginger and garlic although that sounds like a lot of work might leave out the ginger & garlic & chile and use cayenne pepper instead :-)

This is the book the recipe came from:

Bon Appetit!
