6. Irish stew

Well… a vegan version. Recipe calls for a bottle of Guinness, which I didn’t have, so I subbed half a bottle of raspberry wind that had gone flat. Not quite the earthiness I was going for, but I also added a bag of diced Quorn (fake chik’n) so it probably doesn’t count as “Irish stew” at this point anyway.

I actually started this last night in the IP, then realized I’d forgotten to close the vent so it wasn’t cooking under pressure. Went back two hours later and hardly any of the veg had cooked. I was also going to grill a PB sandwich for dunking purposes, but found we were out of PB. End result is it’s been percolating all day and *now* we have groceries in the house and dinner can begin.

Just about to serve it up (yes, it’s 10 pm…) but my taste test tells me it’s going to be pretty good. Sure ought to be since those flavours have been coming together for over 24 hours. Derp.

10. Sounds yummy

Vegan Irish stew

[La Coliniere]

7. Pasta Primavera

Steam-fried onions, red and yellow bell peppers, sliced zucchini, minced garlic and mushrooms. Homemade marinara, kidney beans, chopped fresh basil and chickpea rotini completed the dish. Vegan parm on top. Cheers!🥂

[NJCher]

8. Don't you just love the

Chickpea pastas?

I’m trying out all the different brands.

[La Coliniere]

9. They're a nice alternative to wheat pasta.

Very tasty and more fiber than regular processed wheat pasta. We also enjoy red lentil pasta and pasta infused with pea protein. Aldi’s frequently carries these products which is surprising.

11. Did you make palak paneer and Naan NJCher?

That would be pretty impressive. Dosa ( a kind of lentil pancake) and chickpea curry.

[NJCher]

12. Yum, I love dosa

I used to find it at this Indian buffet that we would frequently go to. I love Indian food.

I only made my palak paneer one time and I was exhausted from making it. I said never again. The same went for Chinese dumplings. Never doing that again, either.
Since that time I've found places to buy it that do a good job. We have this company called Deep, and it's located in a town fairly close and to which I often have to go on business. This is where I get almost all my Indian food. They have both a restaurant and a store where you can buy entrees and other dishes. Good frozen selection, too.

Here's the restaurant link: https://deepindiankitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/deeprest-MenuBoard-V5-11222022.pdf

But I usually patronize the store. Their naan bread is fantastic, too.
