Tempeh or tofu-based stuff, maybe?

Dokmartini: Any more vegan recipes for us? I'm curious to see what you've got!

Tempeh or tofu-based stuff, maybe?

I can get some yeah but I don't have any offhand that I made recently so no pics from me (unless they are online pics).  Also these aren't mine I got them from online.

Umm...



This next one is really good I had it once at a vegan restaurant and then me and my mom (no she's no vegan but eats lots of the stuff I make) made it up ourselves at home but here is a recipe for it that should work!

There, three recipes each containing one of the major meat substitutes =o)

Here are some Maple Syrup alternatives:

Agave Nectar
Brown Rice Syrup
Concentrated Fruit Juice Syrups
Corn Syrup
Frozen Fruit Juice Concentrates
Malt Syrup
Molasses
Sorgbum Syrup

And then you eat it! You may omit the lemon if you don't like eating lemons.

What about people who don't like banananas?


Ah well ... here a recipe of my own.

Unorthodox green curry
(A Thai curry recipe, adjusted to fit the ingredients I had at the time, and then changed a little bit more every time I try it) - serves 1-3

Put some oil in a big frying pan (or even a wok, if your girlfriend hasn't scraped it with a fork so much that the non-stick coating flakes off and gets in your food). Crush a couple of cloves of garlic into it, and add some herbs/spices (I use half a dozen birds eye chillies, and half to one teaspoon of lemon grass, chives, coriander, ginger, cayenne pepper, paprika and black peppercorns). If your friend just had a party and there's a leftover lime on the counter (No, I don't know why someone would buy a big sack of fresh limes for a party), squeeze some lime juice in as well.
Put on a high heat until the oil starts to sizzle, then add 2-3 chicken breasts (or pork steaks, or a pack of cheap chopped turkey ... sausages also work well, but bacon/gammon doesn't). Fry for about 5 minutes, then turn and repeat (adding more oil+spices if necessary).

Take the pan off the heat for a moment. Cut the meat into strips or bite-size chunks. (This is what kitchen scissors are for - I would have thought this should be obvious, but I know someone who needed to be told that its unnecessary to get out a chopping board for this task). Add 2 tablespoons (40g / 2oz) of shrimp paste, just enough coconut milk to cover the bottom of the pan, and 1/4 to 1/2 a pound of minced beef. Put back on a medium heat. Now is a good time to turn on the rice cooker. Also measure out 250ml (a large mug full, if you don't do metric) of coconut milk.

Then stir-fry, sprinkling a spoonful of the coconut milk over the top every minute or so. When you've added all the milk, throw in any veggies you like (I usually use a couple of chopped carrots, half an onion, and a handful of cashew nuts), and stir-fry for another couple of minutes.

Serve with rice or nodules
Consume
Enjoy (this step is not optional)

[Note: The first time, I left the shrimp paste out because I don't like it. But then I found that you can't really taste it, and it brings out the flavor of the spices. So don't omit the shrimp]


We should have a food forum Is that thing where you can make a forum for $30 still going on?

Thanks for the recipes Adolph A little present for you in return. Maybe I'll also offer a reward to other people who posted, once I tried your recipes.

nice nice i like this..!  so any one can put here the recipe for good milkshakes?

What about people who don't like banananas?

I'm pretty sure they're insane

Basic Pasta Bolognese

Ingredients:
400 grams of Minced Meat (Cow preferably, but mixed will do)
500 grams of Pasta (Any will do)
1 can of Crushed Tomatoes
½ of the can filled with water
1 Onion (Yellow, but Red is fine too)
1/4 Garlic (Optional)

Recommended Spices:
Pepper
Salt
or
Soysauce
Sweet Sour Chilisauce
or Mix all of them

This is okay to start with, but I gotta agree with the 'don't put water in' sentiment. Use tomato puree or leave it as is.

Spices/herbs should definitely include basil, and if you have it thyme and oregano. Goes really well with tomato.


My ingredients would be:

400-500 grams of minced beef (higher quality the better, obviously)
1 can of crushed/diced tomatoes (I think roma are the best, but doesn't really matter. Also canned are just as good as fresh for pasta, regardless of what others may say. Can should be roughly 500 grams from memory)
1 whole onion, chopped well
1-2 teaspoons of crushed garlic (Use the stuff in a jar, it's fine, or use a garlic mincer, or just crush a clove and chop it finely)
1/2 a red/green capsicum, chopped well (Preferably a larger one, if it's small use a whole one)
4-5 small mushrooms, chopped well (Or, if you can get them, 1-2 of the large field mushrooms, finely chopped
Grated carrot (This is a good tip. I didn't put a quantity as it really depends on personal taste, I usually use about half a cup, just to give a bit of it throughout)
1/2 to 1 a teaspoon of basil (As above)
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Note - with the herbs, it's really upto personal taste. Try the sauce and add accordingly
1-2 tablespoons of olive oil (Extra virgin if you can)
1/4 cup red wine (Most anything works, but not cooking wine. Stuff you'd drink)
Lots of cracked pepper
Salt

And of course pasta. Might seem like a long list, but it tastes fantastic. Cook basically everything bar the liquids/tomatoes and meat first, then add the meat, then add the liquid/tomatoes.

nice nice i like this..!  so any one can put here the recipe for good milkshakes?

Here's a couple of really simple ones I make:

Note: When I say cups, I mean the cup size you'll be drinking out of or a drinking glass, not a 200ml standard cup.

Banana Smoothie

1 banana, chopped
1 and a half cups of milk
2-4 tablespoons of honey (I love my honey in smoothies, so I kinda go nuts. Upto you personally)
2 tablespoon scoops of vanilla/banana ice cream
2 tablespoons vanilla yoghurt

Directions: Blend. Drink.

Vanilla Milkshake (Easiest thing ever)

1 and a half cups of milk
4 tablespoon scoops of vanilla ice cream
1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Directions: Blend thoroughly to make sure you get all the ice cream dissolved. Drink.

Chocolate Milkshake

1 and a half cups of milk
2 tablespoons Italian drinking chocolate (stuff you put on cappuccinos. Tastes great)
4-8 segments chocolate, grated/chopped/crushed (just 4-8 bits off a block)
1 tablespoon scoop chocolate ice cream

Directions: Make sure the chocolate is chopped up good unless you have a shit hot blender. I don't. Might need to add more milk if it gets too thick and strong.

Blueberry Milkshake

1/2 a cup (this is a standard cup) to a cup of frozen blueberries (buy frozen, they are much, much cheaper. Add more if you'd like!)
1 and a half to 2 cups of milk
1 tablespoon scoop vanilla ice cream
1/2 tablespoon thickened cream
1 tablespoon honey

Directions: Blend. It's simultaneously rich and refreshing, awesome milkshake.

The PTizzle Special

I make this when i'm feeling rich. Gonna try a variation for my girlfriend soon, might post up a picture recipe for it if I remember.

1 mango, diced. (Do the ol mango square trick. Cut around the seed, cut it out, then draw lines with a knife so you can push the mango skin and make cubes come out. This is probably easier to explain in pictures)
4-6 strawberries
Small handful blueberries (frozen is good)
Half a banana, chopped
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoon scoops of mango sorbet
1 tablespoon scoop of vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream (squirt a bunch in, not a ridiculous amount, just whatever you'd like)
2 to 2 and a half cups of milk (depending on how thick you want it)

Directions: Blend. Fantastic shake, but it can cost quite a bit to make.



I'm also going to make that macaroni cheese now. Looks nice, haven't had mac cheese in ages.

i just made some kickass pasta and chicken with vodka sauce i'll post the recipe later when i get all my ingredients and shit ALSO PLEASE GUYS POST PICS FUUUCK.

Yeah pics would be cool.  I'm like the only one that does!

okay yea here goes. I dont do the RECIPE thing so much so if you're looking for that you gonna get boned.

Pasta and Chicken with Vodka Sauce

first off the most important part: get good vodka.

steelpauldrons tip: Grey Goose, Skyy, etc, are not worth getting. they are highly priced because of MARKETING. they in fact lost in tasting contests to Smirnoff! So get that. if you mix vodka you basically don't need to worry about taste anyways. I've heard good things about Tito's Homemade drank clean though just fyi!

get some ingredients. I fucked up and got TOMATOS IN A CAN instead of TOMATO PASTE so dont do that but you might wanna chop up a tomato because its good in a sauce. I liked onion but not too much so I hastily cut up about a quarter of an onion. I also didn't have garlic so I used garlic powder sparingly. for you guys I'd get some bellpeppers (not too many because christ bellpeppers can overwhelm any dish, mushrooms, whatever!

first off get an immigrant to make the pasta while you make the sauce. get some chicken, cut up as much as you need, and brown in some oil with salt and pepper.

steelpaultrdrons tip: here's one youe mom probably doesn't know; don't ever EVER wipe your knife parallel to the cutting board. it dulls it REALLY FAST. yeah seriously I was surprised to learn this but it's true!

okay once you go that chicken browned (all in a frying pan sauce pan w/e), put in most your ingredients save tomatos, cheese, and vodka. brown dem onions good heh...fuck yea. once it's kind of browned, put your paste and tomatoes and vodka in and let that shit reduce for a while. some people advise putting half and half in but since I didn't even have paste I figured it was a bad idea.

I ended up adding two slices of provelone to the mix so that it would thicken. mix with pasta, and serve. get some wine out.



steelpaulsdresons tisp: I like reds with pasta, I find the strong musk of reds works better. don't listen to assholes who say UGH YOU HAVE TO DRINK X WITH Y because that's bullshit, drink what you like.
steelpadidneslin tpis #2 in a row: when adding parmesan, just avoid the store bought crap. that shit is SAND AND SALT honestly. get a block of parmesan and a cheese grater and improve everything.

I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS RECIPE NEXT WEEK: MY DICK.

I've had the vodka sauce before - it's quite good.

I'll probably do a picture recipe soon when I can find the ol' digital camera.

so who can post more real good recipies here? im looking for cheap recipies and good food, you know that kind of food you have when your monthly check is running out. thats would be very nice thanks a lot
