Okay, plant cooks, I need your help, please!
I am getting overwhelmed with garlic scapes (this is just today's!). Chopping a couple up each day on our salads isn't getting through them fast enough.
Has anyone got any ideas, recipes etc? Plant based only, please.

Quick and delicious lunch for a summer day:
Tofu scramble with plenty of mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomatoes and a jalapeno pepper, some Kala namak (black salt). It's served on a bed of cooked kale, peas and sweetcorn and garnished with arugula from our garden.
Wish I could serve it to you, @andycarolan

New batch of turmeric paste with improved recipe.

Turmeric paste turns out to be really useful, at least for my sort of cooking. Recipe makes 10 fl. oz. / 295 ml.

Tofu-avocado dip

I started with a goat-cheese dip recipe and substituted toward a whole-food non-animal recipe.

New ferment underway. This batch follows what seems to be my now-standard list of ingredients except that I had forgotten to buy Medjool dates. Next time I'll remember.

    A quick lunch that turned out to be very tasty rapini (AKA broccoli rabe) and arugula for the greens, young red garlic, Cambray onion, fingerling potatoes, and so on.

    Only thing I forgot to add: pecans.

    5 energy snacks, 5 ingredients each.

    These look easy, tasty, healthy, convenient, and energy-packed (5 characteristics, as well).

    Note that the recipes can be copied directly from the YouTube notes.

    The main idea I had was eggplant, but it grew from there.

    @wfpb How do you explain eating and calorie density? People tend to be scared of beans and rice.

    Broccolini and friends

    This turned out exceptionally well. It's quite tasty with moderate warmth and excellent depth of flavor from all the umami-rich ingredients.

    Oh, my! Excellent chili. It's the best so far. Tempeh-based, it's a whole-food non-animal chili. Also fits a vegan diet. Tempeh is homemade. Zero added salt. Substantially more than a single serving.

    Note to WFPB folks: don't use 100% emmer wheat flour to make tortillas/chapatis unless you're okay with using oil to prevent it from sticking. We normally eat WFPB but I had to use some coconut oil (the only type we have lying around) on my hands and on the ball itself to prevent it from sticking even to ziploc(!).

    Hopefully a blend is okay (I guess I'll find out soon!).

    High levels of ultra-processed foods linked with early death, brain issues.

    I found that for me, it was much easier to cut out highly-processed foods altogether (I went on a whole-food non-animal diet) that it was to "cut back." By cutting them out altogether, I lost my taste for them in just a few weeks.

    Here's the article:

    "Ultra-processed foods are ready-to-eat/heat industrial formulations made mostly or entirely from substances derived from foods, including flavors, colors, texturizers, and other additives, with little if any intact whole food."

    That's the definition from a BMJ study of the effects of UPF on all-cause mortality (not good).

    WFPB carrot paratha!

    Pretty easy:

    • 1 lb (16 oz) whole wheat flour (I used mostly black emmer with some Turkey red, I think)
    • 2 oz tahini
    • 1 1/8 tsp salt
    • 1.5 lb carrots grated
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    1. Mix all dough ingredients up to carrots in one bowl
    2. Mix grated carrots with 1/2 tsp salt in a separate bowl
    3. Slowly add salted grated carrots to other dough ingredients and keep mixing (easiest to do by hand).

    (cotd.)
