These were the fruits of our labor: leftover curried split pea soup, braised kale, red leaf lettuce salad with balsamic vinaigrette and cherry tomatoes, french bread and chevre. A lite, yummy lunch for a sunny day in LA LA land.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/923737170211821639-4423719475990574547?l=mischaiscooking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mischa Hedges: Car-Free in LAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16299452886608600258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923737170211821639.post-39363676284816855312009-04-11T18:02:00.000-07:002009-04-11T18:26:11.406-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yMzr2yQqZ0w/SeE-bScRSUI/AAAAAAAAAM8/fWQNEZ8lYHw/s1600-h/IMG_1921.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yMzr2yQqZ0w/SeE-bScRSUI/AAAAAAAAAM8/fWQNEZ8lYHw/s320/IMG_1921.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323604873056438594" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Had a jar of Thai Kitchen green curry paste and some tofu on the verge of spoiling, and the lemongrass I bought sunday at the farmers market, and it was time for dinner.<br /><br />So out of my "Vegan with a Vengeance" cookbook, by Chandra Moskowitz, came this incarnation of her Thai curry recipe.<br /><br />I overdid it on the lemon/lemongrass a bit, but it proved to make the dish a bit more refreshing. The curry didn't turn out quite as spicy as I like, so I sliced up some daikon radish a (a mild radish - you can find at asian marketplaces and most of the booths at the farmers markets that sell bok choy, lemongrass, etc) and shook a little hot sauce over them. Now, for dessert...no pict but I've been making popsicles with Chocolate silk - a pleasant, healthy, vegan version of the infamous 'fudgesicle.'<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/923737170211821639-3936367628481685531?l=mischaiscooking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mischa Hedges: Car-Free in LAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16299452886608600258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923737170211821639.post-46714449016549218182009-04-08T19:36:00.000-07:002009-04-11T18:27:02.208-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yMzr2yQqZ0w/Sd1gPaq0gPI/AAAAAAAAAM0/163swzjKBoM/s1600-h/Picture+3.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yMzr2yQqZ0w/Sd1gPaq0gPI/AAAAAAAAAM0/163swzjKBoM/s320/Picture+3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322516152595022066" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></b>I was in search for an easy, one-pot dinner, and had the dressing, hummos and rice made already. 5 minutes prepping and 30 minutes of simmering later I had curried split pea soup, kale salad with tahini dressing, walnuts and cranberries, brown rice cake and herbed hommos.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/923737170211821639-4671444901654921818?l=mischaiscooking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mischa Hedges: Car-Free in LAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16299452886608600258noreply@blogger.com0
