What's for Dinner, Mon., Nov. 18, 2024

[NJCher]

General Tso's Chicken over Rice.

Cherry kombucha.

Dessert: Angel food cake with blackberry Greek yogurt. Fresh blackberries!

Later, as in this evening, I'm using the mandoline to thin slice Brussels sprouts. I intend to saute them in sesame oil. Should be good for a late-night snack.

1. Tofu Asparagus Scramble

Squeeze the water out of a block of extra firm tofu and mash. Steam- fry asparagus, chopped red pepper, carrots, onions, mushrooms and garlic. When done, add the mashed tofu, a couple Ts of Jax Tofu Scramble mix and a T of Penzy’s Bright Paris spice blend. After plating, top with chopped tomatoes, parsley and Trader Joe’s vegan Parmesan. Toasted baguette slices with pine nut hummus. Iced black tea. Cheers! 🥂

2. Some frozen veggie spring rolls to start

With some sweet chili sauce.
And then some simple scallion, leek and vermicelli soup with beef broth. Jacque Pepin style soup.

3. Oven-roasting some salmon fillets with a Dijon mustard glaze...

…along with Brussels sprouts with a balsamic drizzle. Jasmine rice.

4. Beans and greens

Some old domingo rojo beans, collard greens, onions, and sausages cooked together in the Instant Pot.

Note: if you're sausages are frozen, let them thaw to the point where you can prick the skins with a fork before you put them in the pot. Otherwise they'll explode in the pressure cooker. Still edible, but kinda weird looking.
