“Love is like seaweed; even if you have pushed it away, you will not prevent it from coming back.” ― Nigerian Proverb
I know some people aren’t big seaweed fans, but the flavors of nori in this recipe are subtle and refined. It is so good for you too; full of thyroid-protective iodine as well as vitamins A & C and iron.
If you can’t make it out to world-renowned vegan restaurant Candle 79 in New York City tonight just use their cookbook as a guide to prepare your own fantastic foodstuffs! Lay out a tablecloth, light a few candles, make this dish, and transport yourself there from the comfort of your own home (Note: you will have to wait on your own table and wash your own dishes, but I promise it will be worth it!).
Nori & Sesame Crusted Seitan w/Gingered Sugar Snap Peas, Soba Noodles, & Edamame-Mint Sauce, from the Candle 79 Cookbook (which I am eternally grateful for), page 84.
Simpler to prepare and even tastier than it looks, this is going to become one of our regular “fancy” meals.
Although not vegan, vegetables reign in our home. And currently we have to be grain-free. Which of the cookbooks in your list would you recommend for vegan side dishes? I don’t need the dishes to be our sole protein or nutrient source. I just need some ideas beyond roasted vegetables and smashed cauliflower. Something that incorporates fruits, vegetables, nuts, but not really soy or other grains. Do any of your books fit that bill, do you think? The above dish looks tasty! Wondering if seaweed would fly with my kids!
Hi thehomeschoolingdoctor! 🙂
Thanks so much for visiting Vegetate and for your great comments.
I would definitely recommend the following cookbooks for gluten-free veggie/fruit/nut side dishes:
http://www.amazon.com/000-Vegan-Recipes/dp/0470085029/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1344287947&sr=1-1&keywords=1%2C000+Vegan+Recipes
http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Deli-Joanne-Stepaniak/dp/1570671095
http://www.amazon.com/Veganomicon-The-Ultimate-Vegan-Cookbook/dp/156924264X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343850814&sr=8-1&keywords=veganomicon
I love to make the “Hot Apples” recipe from Vegan Deli and top it off with some cashew cream… so tasty!
All of the books above have great gluten-free side dish options, though.
If you try any recipes from these books that you like, please let me know!
Thanks again,
Linda
Thank you! And especially for adding the links! It was so EASY just to go to Amazon and put them in my “wish list” to look at when I have a bit more time! Thanks! I’m looking forward to a bit more variety in our vegetarian selections!
Amazing as always!
