Cookies, Kasha and Grilled Veggies..delivery day

I posted some pictures up last night of the Hot Cross Buns, now here are the almond-apricot oatmeal cookie crisps ( the secret is to add more soy-free margarine and more brown sugar than the orig. recipe), the prep for the grilled vegetables, with pico de galdo and tortillas, the kasha, the Italian vegetable stew..enjoy feasting your eyes on these vegetarian treats:



top 2 pictures the almond, apricot (and prune) cookies

marinated veggies for grilling, garlic, tomatoes, zucchini, scallion, mushrooms

kasha- toasted buckwheat in dry form

mixed with beaten egg

cook to dry out and coat the grains quickly..then cover with boiling water, bring to boil then cover with tight fitting lid and  simmer  approx 25 mins until all water has been absorbed.

the Italian Vegetable stew

close up of the stew..more rosemary than basil in this one

fresh veggies for the pico de galdo

packed Pico de Galdo..add lime juice when serving

pinto beans and pickled jalepeno for the  grilled veggies and  tortillas

fresh corn tortillas..lightly grease a skillet and heat quickly on both sides just to make them flexible do not brown..then place in a clean tea towel as you do the rest.   Then fill with the bean-pepper mix,  the grilled veggies and top with the pico de galdo ..a great gluten-free vegan dinner

the steamed Kasha now drying...it is important to air  dry all your steamed  grains, so that they remain whole and do not mush up ( also true of quinoa, rice, bulgur & couscous)

the grilled veggies..again important not to overcook them as they will have to be re-heated at the client's home..either in a skillet or in a 400f oven for 15 mins.
