Vegetarian Patties, Kofta's, Dips, Vegetable Rice and a Curry.photos of prep.

In this wonderful world, nothing is better, "nor mind blowing", than the wide range of delicious dishes that can be created from vegetables!

Every world cuisine has a  burger/pattie/kofta/dumpling....here are 2 that I personally love:

From the Indian continent..a Jade green kofta with lentils and bulgur wheat (cracked wheat)..these Vegan wonders,  I am serving with home made tomato-peach chutney made  last year...to be shallow fried at client's home



The kofta mix


From Asia, Vibrant yellow millet  & rice patties with basil and cumin, these also contain live yogurt and will be baked at clients home with portobello mushrooms & green salad ( own grown arugula inc.)




A wonderful light, almost a mousse, vegetable spread, with carrots, parsnips, celery, onion and eggplant..all poached, then I added raw walnuts, nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, fresh basil, lemon juice and mayonnaise.




The menu for tomorrow's deliveries:


Eggplant and walnut spread with crackers

Lentil Koftas with chutney


Soups:
"Cream" of tomato..finished with coconut cream



Vegetable miso

Entrees:
Coconut cream, vegetable & chickpea curry with  steamed brown rice



Grilled eggplant with feta cheese and yellow squash & Mushroom rice

The yellow squash and mushroom rice


Rice  &  millet patties with Portobello mushrooms and green salad

Side dish is  roasted cauliflower ( roasting make the cauliflower sweeter)

Desserts:

Fresh cherry-water melon fruit salad ( cherries are in season now)



Polenta cake with orange and pine nuts


This is as far as I have gotten with the prep..and these are the dishes that will benefit  by being made the day before..to allow their flavors to "mature".

I will post more photos of almost completed dishes ( some have to be cooked at client's home) tomorrow.  

Have a great day ( much cooler here today and I am off to  the beach this afternoon)and eat your vegetables!
