Quinoa Sesame Pats.



Do you ever look in the fridge and say 'well... What do I do with this Jumble of unrelated food stuffs?'.. Do you ever wish you could just throw it all together and it would turn out delicious? Well, I'll tell you, wishes CAN come true! These little joys are protein and calcium rich, gluten free and super amazing! You can make a whole stack and have left overs for lunch tomorrow! Sounds pretty good to me...

Recipe:
1 cup of cooked Quinoa
1/4 Cabbage
1 Carrot
1/2 Zucchini
1/4 average sized Daikon
1/4 cup Sesame seeds (+ more for sesame crumbs)
1 Tsp Chia seeds
Few drops of Sesame oil
Few drops of Tamari
1/4 massle cube (dissolved in 1 Tsp boiled water)
A little Gluten free rice crumbs(or Breadcrumbs or cornflake crumbs) 

Method:
Put all ingredients into food processor. Mix until ingredients become a gluggy chunky goo. Take a Tsp of mixture and shape into a flat pat. Pat the flat pat into a combined mixture of Rice crumbs and sesame seeds for a nice crispy coating. Fry on medium heat in a little olive oil, flipping at 5 or so minutes. You want both sides to be nice and golden.

We had these little joys with a large serving of steamed vegetables. But you can have them how you like. With veggies, with salad, for breakfast or lunch. Maybe even increase the patty size and you have a burger! WOW! Trust me, after you get this in your belly, you will invincible!

(KFC) Kindtucky fried Cauliflower!


Yes. It's Vegan. And yes. It's So delicious. And yes. You can make this in no time at all! It is kinda heavy, but you gotta get in some fried treats now and then. Am I right, or am I right?

They're so stupidly easy to make! Kinda like a pakora or thick tempura. You can also substitute the cauliflower for any other vegetable, think broccoli, eggplant, yam(Yam!), zucchini. Amazing.....

Kindtucky fried Cauliflower Recipe:
Approximately 2 cups of haphazardly chopped cauliflower(or other yum vegetable)
Oil for frying
Batter:
1/2 cup all plain flower (I used Gluten free)
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup water

(optional: Add some spice during the cooking process. A shake of cajun, tumeric or some perhaps some 5 spice gives them a little tang! Just beware of MSG and salt content.)

Method:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, curry powder, salt, baking powder, and water to make a smooth, thick batter. It should not be runny. If necessary, add more water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time. Mix well.

Warm 1/5 inch(or so) of oil in a large fry pan or skillet on medium heat. The oil is ready for frying when a drop of batter quickly crisps. Coat the cauliflower slices in the batter, and carefully place them in the pan to avoid splashing the hot oil. Don't crowd the pan. Cook until golden on both sides, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Serve as soon as possible.

You can serve the little incredible bites with a nice chutney, or as I did, make a dip from some leftover dahl! Eat em up soldiers!
