For those in LA:
Um. LA VEGAN BEER FEST 11/6/10 at the Roxy in West Hollywood/Sunset Blvd. If that wasn't enough incentive - Doomie's Homecookin' will be making a cameo. Folks, when I first visited LA a few years ago, after never getting to experience the joy of a fully vegan restaurant, I went to Doomie's in Chinatown. It was... amazing. A good 1/3 of the reason I decided to move to LA. Alas, they closed down and have been a mythical unicorn in the vegan underbelly of LA. They resurface at trendy overnight vegan parties and fundraisers and then vanish again. Oh, Doomie! I miss you! And that's why I'm going. And why you should, too. xosqueak |

Can anyone help a Gal out?
I have 2 huge paper bags FULL of green tomatoes...if the plants survive the frost, I might have more later.... I need a really good recipe for Green Tomato Relish or Salsa that does not call for hot peppers or bell peppers. We had dinner at Moe's one evening, and REALLY enjoyed their Relish/Salsa (not sure which it was, but it was YUMMY!!)... I hope to make something similar since it didn't burn my belly like regular salsa. I'd love to can or freeze some. Calling all good cooks.... ![]() ![]() THANKS!!! |

*HAPPY DANCE!!! HAPPY buttwiggle DANCE!!!* ![]() ![]() ![]() I found a fantastic recipe for Tomatillo Salsa Verde, where I used my green tomatoes instead of tomatillos. It turned out AMAZING, FANdamnTASTIC!!! Very yummy and I think even better than Moe's. I "tweaked" a few things to get the spices "to taste", added a splash of apple cider vinegar, and I did finally settle to use a couple hot peppers. I'm so tickled with how it turned out!! I made three batches tonight for freezing...but my housemate said it won't be in the freezer for very long!! I have a lot more to make, but just wanted to report back and thank all those who gave me ideas. It was SO EASY to make. I like it with Wheat Thins.... Here's where I found the recipe... http://www.shewearsmanyhats.com/2010...-verde-recipe/ ![]() |

Torzelli (Deep-fried curly endive)
Recipe slightly adapted from Joyce Goldstein's Cucina Ebraica: Flavors of the Italian Jewish Kitchen. Serves 4-6. 1 large head of curly endive Safflower oil (for deep frying) 2 eggs 4 Tablespoons water 3/4 cup unbleached flour (or more as needed for dipping) Salt and pepper Zest of two lemons Wash endive thoroughly to remove any dirt. If it's a particularly large head of endive, cut it in half and store the rest for later use. Chop the endive roughly into approximately 3-inch pieces. Drop endive into a pot of salted boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the leaves are slightly softened, but not wilted or mushy. Drain, remove excess moisture with a towel, and allow to dry. Pour 2 inches of oil in a saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, beat eggs and water together in a bowl and set aside. Spread flour on a plate and set aside. When oil is hot, dip endive pieces one at a time into egg wash, then dip in the flour. Slip battered endive into oil in batches and deep-fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning with tongs until golden. Transfer to paper towels and allow to drain. Sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, and lemon zest and serve immediately.

This recipe sounds real simple and quick to make
Ingredients Dumplings 5 ounces baby spinach (5 packed cups) 5 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch dice 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 small jalapeņos, seeded and minced 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil Salt and freshly ground pepper About 45 square wonton wrappers (from 1 package) Dipping Sauce 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 1 teaspoon honey Directions MAKE THE DUMPLINGS Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 20 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the spinach to a colander. When the spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze it dry, then coarsely chop it. Keep the water hot. Transfer the spinach to a medium bowl and stir in the tofu, cornstarch, jalapeņos, soy sauce and sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Working with 4 wonton wrappers at a time, dampen the edges and mound 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold 1 corner of each up over the filling and seal to make triangles. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. MAKE THE DIPPING SAUCE In a small serving bowl, stir the soy sauce with the vinegar and honey. Return the water to a boil. Add the dumplings and simmer over moderate heat, stirring gently, until the edges are al dente, about 3 minutes. Carefully drain in a colander and transfer to a platter. Serve with the dipping sauce.

And yet another easy recipe
I'm a fan of all kinds of noodles and veggies Some days I just like to go meatless Ingredients Four 1.75-ounce packages dried cellophane noodles 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce 3 tablespoons honey 3 tablespoons Asian sesame oil 6 ounces jicama, peeled and julienned 2 medium carrots, julienned 2 scallions, thinly sliced 1 medium cucumberpeeled, seeded and cut into 1/3-inch dice 1 jalapeņo, seeded and minced 1 cup mung bean sprouts Salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup chopped roasted salted peanuts Directions Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, put the cellophane noodles in a large bowl and cover with warm water. Let the noodles stand until pliable, about 20 minutes; drain. Using scissors, cut the noodles into 6-inch lengths. In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce with the honey and sesame oil. Add the cellophane noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes; drain. Return the noodles to the pot, fill it with cold water, then drain again.
